story writing | Ellon Primary School

We have been painting Romans and Celts. Some people have been painting shields and swords. In Art we have been painting Mount Vesuvius which is a famous volcano. We are writing stories about a time machine. Our story about the time machine is in chapters. We have written one chapter.

We have been learning about time. The P3s have been learning quarter to and quarter past. The P2s have been learning about o’clock and half past. We went to cooperative learning groups to learn the months of the year and make a paper chain of them. Some people knew all of the months and some people didn’t.

Some people have been digging for finds in the playground! Some people think that they have found things from the Roman times or a long time ago! We have put them in our Roman museum.

We did a firework problem solving activity. We counted rockets with 3 or 4 stars and we had to make numbers 10, 15, 25, 60 and 70 by using cubes to count them. It was quite hard for some of us! We watched and read a story for firework safety on the smartboard. We found out about the firework code. We read out all of the code and we learned about how to stay well back from fireworks. We found out that when you are finished with your sparklers you need to put them in a bucket with cold water. We learned not to do dangerous things with fireworks.

We read a story about a Hallowe’en party and had to finish it off. We had to put in capital letters and full stops and we had to make sure we put in some connectives. We had to use spooky wow words!
