Primary 5 have been learning about deforestation and sustainability. They were given a Minecraft challenge to create a sustainable farmhouse that would have little long-term environmental impact.
The children came up with some amazing ideas such as solar panels, windmills and crop fields, to name a few! I’m still so impressed with how creative the children are and look forward to planning the next Minecraft challenge!
Primary 5 have been learning about 2D nets and how they can be assembled to create different 3D shapes.
With these 3D shapes they’ve then created these amazing robots!
The children used a large number line. They were learning how to place numbers on a blank number line.
From now until the Christmas holidays the children will be revisiting the following sounds and spelling words:
a, s, t, p, i, n, r, m, d, e, c, k, g, l, f, o, b, u.
a, at, the, I, in, it, an, is, and, am, me, my, did, as, he, can, we, into.
If you wish to reinforce these at home, please do so using Active Literacy strategies from the booklet.
The children have been very busy making items for our Christmas shop. The shop will be open for the children to come to on Monday the 2nd of December.
P2B have been learning all about people who help us and others. We have been learning about a Police Officer and a Fire Fighter.
PC Lynch came in to our class to share with us his roles and responsibilities in his job as a Police Officer.
We had a great time trying on all of his equipment and asking him loads of questions.
We had lots of fun investigating different smells.
Our classroom does not smell great today. We have some really disgusting smelling things in our bin.
Some smells were lovely, especially the chocolate but Mr Stewart will not be happy with the onion in our bin.
As you can see we liked some of the smells but not all of them.
We have been investigating our sense of hearing.
As part of our learning we found out that sound vibrates in our ears.
We made cord telephones to investigate the vibration of sound.
P2B have been learning all about symmetry in Maths. We have created loads of symmetrical patterns using numicon, mirrors and different shapes.
We also created a class symmetrical pattern in the gym hall which we loved doing.
We have been having lots of fun with our senses topic.
We have been learning about the importance of our sight and how to keep our eyes protected. We also know The Creakers don’t like light so we designed glasses to protect their eyes from the sun. We tried them on to make sure they worked.
I am sure the children will have told you all about The Creakers and how much they like rubbish. I hope you agree the children have designed super glasses to protect The Creakers and their own eyes from the sun.
