Broomhill School P1 Room 4

It’s a busy week ahead.

Fingers crossed for a dry morning tomorrow so we can go ahead with our sports day.

We are having our talent show auditions on Tuesday afternoon so if you want to take part come prepared. You could sing, dance, tell jokes, do magic, or any other talent you may have. There will be a panel of judges (classmates) to pick our classes act.

Thursday morning is the day our act will show off on stage to the other Infant classes.

Friday morning the whole school will be walking to South Holburn Church, any parents that can help please contact the office.

No homework this week. Please ensure that all reading books are returned. There will be old jotters and work coming home this week so a plast

I

hope that you are having fun preparing your talk for next week. Mrs Shand, Mrs McIntosh and I are all looking forward to hearing them.

Lots of debate and discussion.

Logan’s found one!

Looking for time openers and bossy verbs.

The children were given mixed up instructions and had to put them into the correct order.

Kirsten debating which one goes next.

Handprint crow, lots of fun.

The children are working hard on their PLP target of being able to write instructions. The best bit was getting to use the instructions we highlighted to make fingerprint sheep or handprint crows.

Adding more features to the Fairy house

The children found some interesting leaves

The completed Fairy house with bunting

Fairy dust to help the Fairies fly

Camp fire

Room 4 have had a great time at the Woodies this week meeting the children who will be starting Primary One in August.

As well as making a Fairy house the children sequenced stories on a washing line, built dens, made shakers and used crayons to do leaf rubbings

I now have access to the class blog and will be updating it as often as possible.

Class info:

Our PE days are Tuesday and Thursday.

Miss Roper is back and has a few continuous days to complete so she will be teaching the class until she finishes next Friday. I am still overseeing what is planned for the class and ensuring continuity.

We are working hard on writing instructions at the moment, one of our PLP targets. We wrote instructions on How to brush our teeth this morning. Last week we worked with a partner to investigate instructions on how to create a fingerprint sheep and hand print crows. We highlighted time words and imperative (bossy) verbs. We then made them and followed the instructions successfully. Photos to follow.

We are learning Kung Fu punctuation with Miss Roper tomorrow, ask the children if they can show you any of their moves.

Our project at the moment is Farming. We have looked at the animals that can be found on a farm, growing beans and looking at seed germination so far. We are going to be doing some information handling relating to crops and animals and lots more interesting activities.

Along with room 5 and 7 we have had fun walking around the playground as part of our Sport Relief and Archie in Africa activities.

Remember no school uniform tomorrow. Come dressed for action!

 We discussed what we were going to do and then drew up our prediction. We then put on protective goggles and gloves.   We discovered that when  you mix  bicarbonate of soda  and vinegar “the egg melts” and “fizzes.” Did we predict correctly?    Some of us thought it would hatch or disappear and some of us thought it would change colour.  We then drew up our experiment results. Some good predictions! We then found some  toy dinosaurs inside. 

Ms. Taylor brought a large box to room 4 this morning. What was inside? Some of us thought it might be a cake………

We were very lucky to see and hold such a large fossil ammonite.It lived in the seas and it is at least 65 million years old.  It became extinct at the same time as dinosaurs.  We are now going to write a newspaper report about our exciting arrival!
