Protecting Our Planet!
This our topic is Protecting Our Planet! P1-4 have taken a great interest in plastic pollution, recycling and climate change which has inspired our topic for this term. We have discussed as a class what we already know, what we would like to find out and ways in which we can do this! Having brainstormed ideas together we have a lot of fun learning ahead!
This week we started looking at plastic pollution, what this means for our planet and how we can help! P1-4 enjoyed taking part in a Kahoot Quiz to test our knowledge on what we had learned throughout the week, have a go at home through this link! https://create.kahoot.it/share/plastic-pollution/f60cc91f-a8a2-4e5f-a800-7e18a5754a1f

Numeracy
In numeracy the Rectangles having been working on number bonds to 10! They have investigated ways to make 10 by playing a number bonds game with hula hoops and bean bags and writing the number sentence to go with them.
The Circles and Squares have been learning about comparing numbers using the correct symbols for greater than and less than. Using crocodiles to help us remember which symbol to use, remember the crocodile always eats the bigger number!
The Triangles have continued to develop their understanding of number, as well as investigating different strategies for addition and subtraction. They have looked at using partitioning, bar model and number line as strategies. This then helped us to display what we had learned in a ThinkBoard showing how each strategy can be used to solve a calculation.
We will be moving onto looking at Data and Analysis, tying in with our topic and carrying out class and whole school surveys.
Health and Wellbeing
This week we have been discussing Growth and Fixed mindsets! We discussed each mindset and gave examples. The pupils engaged well in conversation and were able to give their own examples of Growth and Fixed mindsets, as well as explaining the reasoning behind their answer. We will continue to look at this next week and further our understanding of how we can develop and promote a Growth Mindset.
In PE we have developed our rolling skills and applying them in game settings outside. We will look at Throwing and Catching over the next few weeks and how we can use these skills in a team setting.
