Another short week this week!

This week has been Maths Week Scotland and the theme this year was Wild Maths! 

P4H and P4W teamed up for some maths fun this week, here is some of what we got up to 🙂

Measuring

We took our learning outside to look at different ways to measure. We used meter sticks, as well as non-standard units such as sticks and feathers!

Times Tables

We used the time outside to find different ways to practise our times tables, this included times table hopscotch.

Symmetry

To extend our knowledge of symmetry we got to use Minecraft Education to try and create the other half of different shapes and buildings. The children were a lot better at navigating the world than Miss Day and have taught me lots!

Shape

We also explored shape outside to create tally charts on all the different shapes we could see. We found out the school is made up from A LOT of rectangles, but we didn’t have time to count them all (even though some tried!)

The first of 2 short weeks, but P4H were still busy getting lots done.

Literacy

We have been continuing to work on our guides, using the laptops to research an area to write a guide on, taking notes preparing to create a powerpoint with all the information we have gathered.

Numeracy

We have been using partitioning to help add 3 digit numbers together.

We have also been making tiling patterns with 2D shapes.

Bikeability

Another successful week of bikeability, even in the rain!

IDL

We have been looking at how the Vikings lived back in the 800s, comparing things they had then to what we have now. We also thought about what a day in the life of a Viking might have looked like.

Each week, during our time in the library, we will choose our book of the week. This is a book that we think other people would find interesting and we recommend.

3 children each week make their choice of book and the rest of the class vote for a book.

This week our book of the week was:

The class also made posters to advertise the book.

Literacy

This week for writing we have been looking at different types of guides and creating our own guide to look after a dog.

We have been looking at what headings and subheadings are and how we can add them to our work.

Numeracy

In numeracy we have been looking at different 2D and 3D shapes.

We tried making our own 3D shapes using nets (some were very tricky!).

We are now moving on to look at how 2D shapes can be tiled.

The class has been set a weekend task to see how many different tiled shapes they can spot. We have already spotted some around the school.

Science

We are continuing to learn about electricity and this week we have been focussed on how to stay safe around electricity. Including making safety posters and identifying hazards.

IDL

Our topic this term is the Vikings! We have had lots of fun in the class acting out packing for a trip from Scandinavia to the UK on a longship and thought about how people would feel making that journey. We also looked at the designs of longships and started to draw our own.

All children have been given their boost learning log ins.

Please keep these (safe!) at home.

Sumdog log ins will come home later in the week.

We have been learning about electrical circuits in science.

This week we had the chance to join up with P4W to investigate making our own circuits.

The children worked in groups to explore the different resources we have and were able to successfully make their own circuits.
