The Green group has been reading Black Hat Bob and did some lovely writing this week, creating Wanted posters to help catch the thieving pirate, Red Hat Rob. They made sure to explain what he had done wrong, what he looked like and what the reward for finding him would be. They hope to make these look more like real wanted posters later. Here are some examples. They say –
Top Left by Aaminah – Red Hat Rob is rude and freaky. He has a patch and has a sword. If you find him you will get a hundred pounds.
Top Right by Olivia – Red Hat Rob is rude and is a bully. He has a blue pirate coat and grey leggings and a shiny sword and a brown beard. You will get eleven and a hundred pounds.
Bottom Left by Liam S – Red Hat Rod is a thief. He has a sword and a patch. Find him and you will get a hundred pounds.
Bottom Right by David – He is a thief. He has a sword and he has a stripy t-shirt. Find him and get ninety-nine pounds.
Aaminah’s birthday was on the 10th of May. We sang to her and heard all about her day so far. She was looking forward to going home for some cake and ice lollies! 🙂
We also had a birthday boy, David. Happy birthday David! We couldn’t take his picture because he wasn’t feeling very well that day.
We have been using our adding and taking-away skills to learn about number ‘fact families’. We played some fact family games and then tried to use our skills in some independent tasks. It is tricky, but we are beginning to see the relationship between addition and subtraction and how the numbers work together!
To help next year’s new Primary 1’s get to know our school and meet some of the children and grown-ups before they come in the summer, we are going to be working with the other classes to record a ‘Welcome to our St Ninian’s Family’ mini movie using our i pads. Before we start recording we are going to share some of the things we were worried or unsure about before we came to school. We are also going to tell everyone what we love about our school. Miss Thompson will then put it all together with the help of some older children. We can’t wait to see how it turns out!
After our Shot Put action last week, this week we tried out some more throwing focused events, the javelin and the discus. After some learning focused on the steps needed to throw successfully and some practice throws, we held another class competition….and the winners of today’s event were….
and here are some action shots… we all enjoyed learning how to use our good throwing skills to do something totally new!
Today we had our first class trial session out on the scooters. After some safety tips and getting kitted up, we were ready to go!!!! Everyone was amazing and with every time around the track we got better at balancing, stearing, controlling our scooters and being careful of others around us.
We worked very hard during literacy today. After some sound work and spelling we focused on understanding the story in more detail during reading. Look at us working with our partners to read with a good storyteller voice! In writing we impressed Miss Thompson with beautiful sentence work.
Today we began our block of PE learning focused on athletics skills and events. We worked hard using our developing throwing and aiming skills in a Shot Put lesson and competition. It was great fun and here are our champions…..
P6 came to share the first of their 4 picture books with us this week. It was called Alan’s Big Scary Teeth and is about an alligator who learns to use his big sharp set of false teeth for good instead of scaring his jungle friends. We hunted for ‘wow’ words and then voted on our favourites. We made our own moving versions of Alan the Alligator and also wrote ideas to help Alan become a better friend to others.
