It was so nice chatting to you on the phone for parents night. I love to share the children’s successes with you and it is always great to hear how proud of them you are. And so you should be! They really are a class of hard working, ambitious children who love to learn. We have had another busy week and have been learning all about 3D shapes. We even made our own shapes with straws and connectors.

       

All of the children worked extremely hard thinking  how to make the shape 3D.

Mrs Millar was in our classroom on Tuesday and Wednesday morning. She was teaching us all about money. We played a new floor game, matched Numicon and money and made coin rubbings. It was great fun.

   We made animals, robots and unicorns with the numicon tiles. We then added coins and worked out how much each thing would cost.

When the sun was out we did manage to get outside for gym. We love the wheeled seats and even linked them together to make trains. We had hoops out and played football on the grass.

 

We really did have a lot of fun outdoors and cant wait until the sun comes back out and we can do it all again.

 

NEXT WEEK 

Literacy – Our sounds will be oi (noise) and oy (toy). We will complete lots of activities to help us learn when to use these sounds. We will create a piece of functional writing all about making a 999 call. We are continuing with our new reading scheme in the classroom. Its a new scheme which we are dipping in and out of before they start Primary 2. We are still focusing on the correct use of Capital letters and full stops.

 

Numeracy – We will continue to explore money and will use our addition and subtraction skills to exchange coins and work out the change from given amounts. Mrs Millar will be with us again on Tuesday and Wednesday morning.

In the afternoons this week we will be learning all about living and non living things. We will look at nature (trees, flowers etc) and decide whether these things are living or non living. We will also make a  list of the things that living things need to survive.

I hope the sun comes out next week. Please remember to send your child a bottle of water as it can get very warm in the classroom. Thank you to the parents who have sent in their child’s trip letter, If you have not managed to sign and return it yet can you please send it in next week. We are really looking forward to going to the Farm Park with some of the other classes.

I hope you all have a fantastic weekend,

Mrs Cuthbertson xx
