Do you know where Liam and Rocket are?

Does any of the playground equipment remind you of anything? Can you retell the Stories or Nursery Rhymes?

I like The Sailor Dog because the dog is cute and I like the illustrations.
If you like dogs you might like to read this book too.

Today we learned about what makes a structure strong. We tried to find out what the strongest shape was. We looked at photos of buildings, bridges and spider webs and wondered what made them strong.
Then we tried to work as a team and make a strong structure using toothpicks and marshmallows. What do you think makes a structure strong?

This is my favourite book because it reminds me of my mum. She loves me.

Last week the Diamonds maths group had a challenge to find sets of things around the playground and write a multiplication sentence. This is what they found. Can you tell us about other sets around the school?
