What a busy term we have had! Finished off with a busy week!

You would not believe we all managed to stay silent for 30 whole minutes during our Harvest Hush In.  It was SO peaceful!

We have loved learning so much through our Book Study; The Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch. We finished it off this week with more fun activities.  We got another letter from Mr Grinling, asking us to create Lighthouse Learning Cards that shows him everything we have learned in our topic.  He wants to display them in his lighthouse to show them off to his friends!

We also want to thank Sheila and other kitchen staff who helped us make our very own Sea Biscuits, just like Mrs Grinlings.  We even got a tour of the kitchen to see all the equipment.  We loved the BIG mixer and ovens!  Our biscuits definitely passed the taste test too!

You will also see we brought home our very own Lighthouse Experts Certificates!  Well done everyone!

We were all so proud of Coila this week too.  It was lovely to see her certificate for being a Mascot for Stranraer FC.  Well done, Colia!

This week we have been learning another new reading strategy:  Metalingustics.  This means exploring the meaning of words.  We looked at some words in our book study, then we used our class dictionaries to help us learn new words.  We also loved playing ‘Fastest Finger’ game using our dictionaries, to see who could find the words first.

We have also been investigating numbers before and after.

We have been showing what we have learned about healthy eating by creating our own Healthy Eating Posters.  Don’t they look great!

We have also been learning more about lighthouses.  We have used Google Maps to find locations of some Scottish lighthouses and put them on our own Scotland map.

This week our Confident Individual is Jack.  Jack is showing increasing confidence when writing independently.  Well done!
