Literacy

We have been doing some fantastic writing this last week.   We are looking at adjectives and using interesting words. Some of us are learning more new sounds and what words begin with these sounds.  We are also all developing our reading skills.  We are using a range of different strategies.  Children who are more fluent in their reading are looking at different punctuation to add expression into texts.  This term for our speaking and listening focus we will be doing our Scots poems.

 

Numeracy

We are continuing to learn about different strategies to carry out addition sums.  Some of us are learning to complete chimney sums.  We are continuing to practice our times tables – both speedy recall and how we can use this in real life situations. For some the focus is learning different maths language one more/one less than. We are also learning about patterns.

 

Topic

We are carrying out an Enterprise project this term. The children have come up with super ideas about how to make us some money!! You will hear about this in due course. The children are also learning about the United Kingdom.  They will be reading maps, learning about different places and learning about Scottish traditions.
