Juggling

We each have made 2 juggling balls and are learning to juggle. Harrison has learnt that you can't throw the ball too high. Kerah learnt that you have to throw the balls at different times so you can catch them...where did that other ball go? Look at Demi go - well done you have mastered this... maybe we can go onto three balls?!

Talent quest

Last Thursday we had our school talent quest. We have a few hidden talents in room 9.
Well done Olivia, Edith (and Emma room 10) on a great performance of London bridge which placed them second in the junior school. Demi, (Kylie,Bella and Annie room 8 & 10) were all very talented in their "moves like jagger" - this performance won them first place for the junior school. Well done girls.

Welcome Charlotte

On Monday Charlotte has joined us in room 9. Welcome Charlotte we hope you are very happy at Outram school and I am sure that the rest of the school have made you feel as welcome as our lovely children in room 9. You have settled in really well and I am sure that when Mrs Wright gets back she will be delighted to teach you Charlotte :).

It´s raining, it´s pouring and pouring and pouring

Dear Room 9
We have reached Ponferrada which means we have walked about 170km. It is still a long way to go and it has been raining and raining and raining. We slept last night in a little auberge (pilgrim´s hostel ) way up high in the mountains. There was mist swirling around,  wild cats and kittens and little goats reaching up to nibble fruit off the trees - remember it is autumn, - and we had dinner and slept beautifully.

This morning we climbed up to the highest point on the camino  and then as the rain began to pour and pour we headed down off the mountain and were very pleased to find a little cafe where we could have cafe con leche - milk coffee and a bocadillo - a long fresh bread roll with an omelette inside. Yum!  We walked on and on and on and finally came to Ponferrado. There is an ancient castle here that I want to explore.

I loved your questions but the money has run out on this computer. It is much better than using my iphone.

Take care everyone
Love from Mrs Wright x x x

Juggling with scarves - video

Olivia demonstrated beautifully how to juggle with the two scarves. Well done Olivia.

learning to juggle... with scarves

We started off learning to juggle with scarves. Getting the hand action and throwing the scarves up at different times and catching in the other hand is a lot harder than you think! Meg is starting off with one to see that she has the timing right. Kerah has moved onto two and it is taking great concentration to try and catch both of the scarves. Ted has also moved onto two and look at him go.

Writing recount of "how to make juggling balls"

We all had to challenge our memories and recall what we saw... the board was turned over so we couldn't see how many steps there were! Well done children on very clear instructions and great pictures of the steps. Edith did a fantastic job talking us through her steps.
