We have been very busy learning about minibeasts over the last few weeks. We have looked at bees and are now learning about butterflies. We have also explored minibeast habitats. A lot of our learning is done through play activities and crafts.
Our P7 buddies helped us with our spelling and maths. It was a lovely day so we decided to go outside and use chalk. First we practised our spelling words, then we made clocks using hula hoops and twigs for clock hands. Our buddies tested our time knowledge and we all had great fun.
We had a visit from the Maidsafe trailer during our science week and were able to do some experiments. We also created beautiful marble paintings and had a great time.
In maths, we are learning about time and measuring length and area at the moment. We made clocks which we are using to practise showing o’clock and half past times. We also used cubes to measure and compare the length of items and counters to measure the area of our hands. We recorded the area of our hands on the board to see who has the biggest hand in our class!
In PE, we have been practising our sports day races and have been working to improve our coordination through hula hoop activities. We do different hula hoop stations each time and are enjoying our lessons.
I hope you all have a great long weekend and can’t wait to see you again on Wednesday!
What a busy time you have all had! Lots of exciting activities and learning adventures.
