SLC 1b – Lochnorris Primary SLC

January Overview

Literacy

In literacy we will be continuing to work on individual targets. We will also be focusing on Scottish language including learning a Scottish poem. We will be taking part in a book study linked to a Scottish book, You Can’t Play Here, by Angus Corby. We will also be researching Scottish landmarks and traditions and will present our findings in a poster/ leaflet.

Numeracy

In numeracy we will be continuing to work on our individual targets. We will also be focusing on telling the time (quarter past and quarter to) and will work on times tables. In mathematics we will be working on weight, size and measure using non-standard units as well as being introduced to standard units. We will continue to use role play to explore money and work on change using subtraction.

All my other learning

Linking to our book study ‘You Can’t Play Here’, our topics will include learning about Vibrations and Sounds and will explore ways of making sound. This will allow for opportunities to carry out investigations and experiments and will involve making predictions and writing reports. We will have opportunities to make and use instruments which can be used in dance.

In Health and wellbeing we will be concentrating on looking after ourselves. We will participate in gymnastics at the gym hall.
