We combined literacy (rhyme) and art to explore colour mixing using the story Monsters Love Colours. We discovered that from the 3 primary colours we could make many more colours including orange, green and purple.

We also discovered that mixing black and white together makes grey. The more white we added made the grey colour created get lighter and lighter! But more black made it darker in shade.
Messy fun, cooperation and lots of learning!
Look out for your invitation to our ‘Bookbug Gifting Event and Picture Book Prize Ceremony’. Our buddies will be coming along too to help us to vote for our favourite story, before we get to take our Bookbug bag home forever!
We had a great time writing our invites today and decorating them before putting them into an envelope to give to our mums, dads and special grown-ups at home. We hope lots of you can come along and see what we have been up to in school with our Bookbug bags.
We have been learning that writing is a way to communicate. Sharing our ideas verbally and in picture format is very important in learning to be a successful writer as ‘you can’t write it until you can say it first!’ Here are a few examples of our news sharing writing task.
We visited the new Menziehill library for the second time with our p7 buddies. We chose a story for them to read to us and even tried to read some of the words ourselves using our sounds learning to decode words. We spoke about he characters, what happened and our likes and dislikes.
As part of our learning about festivals and celebrations around this time of year, we learned a little about Bonfire Night, how to stay safe and used our art skills to create wonderful firework pictures and sparklers to take home. We loved blowing the paint to make different patterns and shapes and playing with our ‘fire-free sparklers!’
We have been learning how to extend our learning and deepen our understanding of concepts by ‘talking our loud’ and explaining our thinking. This week we worked in partners to ‘teach a teddy’ all we know about teen numbers. It was quite tricky but this is something we will continue to develop over the course of this year.
We are getting so good at blending our sounds into words and can now work with a partner in class to practise reading with accuracy and speed using our fabulous mini reading books!
We hope you have enjoyed hearing us reading these at home too!
We loved welcoming our grown ups into the class this week to share in some of the numeracy learning we have been doing so far this term. We hope they all enjoyed their time learning and playing with us!!!
Here are some action shots from the morning….
We have been learning all about teen numbers in numeracy and now that we are getting more confident with this, we have had the opportunity to extend and apply our learning in play using these 8 fun activities.
