We have been writing Haiku poems. There is a rule where you have to have three lines and the first one 5 syllables, second 7 syllables and last one 5 syllables.
In maths we drew line graphs and we have been learning doubles.
We have also been doing scratch art fireworks. Then we also picked carrots in our garden and Mr Mackay will be making us carrot soup. 😊😉🥰
The ceilidh was super fun we were having the best night of our lives.
In maths we have been learning more addition strategies and some subtraction strategies.
We were learning fact triangles.
In literacy we have been learning new phonemes and also some descriptive character writing about the Night Zoo. We had to write our own character description. We used core targets, similes, adjectives, adverbs and paragraphs.
Yesterday we went on a fun trip to the Titanic Exhibition. We met members of the crew and saw the hull, the funnel and the pulley from the ship. One woman was playing cards when disaster struck and the cards were on display. Women and children got on the lifeboats first. When it was sinking the weight of the water in the ship broke it in half. We had an excellent day and learned lots of facts about the Titanic.
Happy Talk like a Pirate Day! Arrrr… 🏴☠️
Look at our lovely crew of shipmates.
Here’s this week’s highlights!
Place value perfection! This week everyone completed their place value assessments and did absolutely amazing, showing Mrs Connell what they’d learned. A very proud teacher indeed.
We learned about synonyms and used a thesaurus to find words. Boiling, warm, burning and roasting are so much better than hot. Prehistoric and ancient are so much better than old.
On Tuesday, we learned about discrimination. Mrs Connell asked us to put post its on to different people. They said things like ‘I want to go university’ but we found it hard when we didn’t know the people. We learned that’s what discrimination is.
Have a lovely long weekend and see you all Tuesday.
This week we have been learning how to use adverbs nouns adjectives and verbs.
In maths we have learned place value and how to times by tens hundreds and thousands.
In art we have learned to scale up flowers in paintings.
In PE we played dodgeball.
Have a great weekend.
Everyone learned how to write numbers in words.
We have started a new book called Kensuke’s Kingdom as class Novel.
We predicted how we thought what would happen in the book and played unlikely or likely with the post it’s that we made. We decided how likely each prediction was to happen.
We painted watercolour flowers with Miss Walker.
Today, Primary 6/7 picked their favourite Celebration! We all had our own reasons for choosing our favourite and Mrs Connell even got her hands on a Malteaser. After, we had to choose a book we wanted to read and give a reason for our answer. Here’s our choices…
Today we celebrated World Book Day and dressed as book characters or in our pyjamas.
Primary 6/7 arranged fun activities for the whole school to participate in. We completed word searches, bookmarks, first sentence quiz and listened to audio books.
Today, at the start of our literacy lesson, we were asked to choose our favourite Quality Street and the reason why we picked it. Some of us chose the chocolate based on having tried them before, the flavour or even the wrapper.
Mrs Connell then asked us to choose a book from a selection and give a reason why. Some of us chose a book based on the cover, blurb, author or genre.
We pick books the same way we pick our favourite sweet treats.
On Thursday, we shared our writing across the whole school. We wrote instructions on how to make the most disgusting sandwich. We certainly put Mrs Connell off her lunch. We peer assessed in pairs, then groups, using the success criteria and sentence starters to leave feedback.
It was consolidation week this week… we used magnetic letters to spelling our words with the ng, ph and wh.
