Broomhill School P1 Room 7

Explore Learning came back to visit our class to run a literacy workshop. We were learning about words that rhyme.

A special parcel was delivered to room 7 on Thursday. Inside the parcel was an ammonite fossil. It was really heavy!

We have been learning how to form our capital letters correctly. We decided to use finger lasers to write the letters in the air. We had lots of fun!

We have been using non fiction books to research interesting facts about dinosaurs. We sorted our dinosaur cards into two different groups: herbivores and carnivores.

We made dinosaur models out of different materials. We then used our models to create a dinosaur adventure story. We tried to include adjectives to make our story really interesting.

This week we went on a very special adventure. We went to the Woodies to find some dinosaurs and dinosaur eggs. We had lots of fun!

Reminders: please remember to wear something red tomorrow for Red Nose Day. Please bring welly boots or trainers and a waterproof jacket to school on Tuesday 28th for our trip to the Woodies. 

This week was Miss King’s last week. We made cards to say thank you for all her help and to tell her how much we will miss her.

Music: This week we have been learning to create and play a tune on a glockenspiel.

We have had a great morning so far designing book covers and voting for our favourite door design.

Everyones costumes look fantastic!

Last Friday we were lucky enough to receive a visit from Google. We were able to see places such as the Taj Mahal, the Great Barrier Reef, space and London. The mobile phones they gave us to use were really cool. Our favourite part was spotting all the dinosaurs when we went back in time.

Some of the primary 7’s came to help us make dinosaur fossils. It was very messy but lots of fun.

Thinking Day: our Rainbows did a super job at telling us all about Rainbows and the Rainbow promise.

Phonics: this week we have been consolidating some of the sounds we already know.

Our visit to the library:

Writing: we have been learning how to write a set of instructions. This week our focus was recipes. We made chocolate crispies and then wrote a recipe outlining our method, ingredients and the equipment needed to make them. They were really tasty!

Maths: we have been learning how to identify and name a variety of 3D shapes. We had fun investigating which 3D shapes could roll down the ramp.

We will soon be doing some work related to World Book Day. In preparation for this could you please ask your child: what their favourite book is and why. We will be doing a piece of work related to this in class and so it would be very handy if your child has already given this some thought. Thank you for your support.

Well done to everyone that took part in our Scots poetry competition. You were all fantastic at reciting your Scots poems.

We have been busy learning some Scots songs and are looking forward to singing them at tomorrow’s Scottish afternoon.

We have been learning how to form the letters q and x correctly.

Big Maths: we have been trying to beat our Learn It card score, learning how to double and ordering different numbers.
