World Book Day

We all enjoyed dressing up as our favourite book character for World Book Day. We found out about how authors describe characters and we studied Mr and Mrs Twit from The Twits by Roald Dahl.

There was a World Book Day assembly and we had to guess what books went with the illustrations we were shown.

We also made book covers of our favourite books. We had to include the title, author, write the blurb on the back and illustrate it. We are going to make a book buddy and display them in our library corner.

Fraction Action

Having explored fractions by taking part in practical activities, I can show my understanding of:

• how a single item can be shared equally

• the notation and vocabulary associated with fractions

• where simple fractions lie on the number line. MNU 1-07a

We have been learning about fractions and have been finding fractions of shapes and fractions on a number line.

Handling Data

I have explored a variety of ways in which data is presented and can ask and answer questions about the information it contains. MNU 1-20a

I have used a range of ways to collect information and can sort it in a logical, organised and imaginative way using my own and others’ criteria. MNU 1-20b

Using technology and other methods, I can display data simply, clearly and accurately by creating tables, charts and diagrams, using simple labelling and scale. MTH 1-21a

We have been organising information in tables using tally marks.

We displayed information in pictograms, bar graphs, Venn and Carroll diagrams.

We also use spreadsheets to help us make bar graphs on the computer.

Polar Lands

By exploring climate zones around the world, I can compare and describe how climate affects living things. SOC 1-12b

By exploring a natural environment different from my own, I can discover how the physical features influence the variety of living things. SOC 1-13b

We have been learning about the people that live in the polar lands.

SCOTS VERSE

I can sing and play music from other styles and cultures, showing growing confidence and skill while learning about musical notation and performance directions. EXA 1-16a

I have experienced the energy and excitement of presenting/performing for audiences and being part of an audience for other people’s presentations/performances. EXA 1-01a

After listening to different songs from around the world we finished by learning a song from Scotland for the Scots Verse Event.

We put in hours of practise and performed our song and dance brilliantly in front of a wonderful audience. We hope everyone enjoyed Ye Cannae Shove Yer Granny Aff a Bus.

Scotland

I can describe and recreate the characteristics of my local environment by exploring the features of the landscape. SOC 1-07a

We explored the features of the Scottish landscape and compared it with different environments around the world.

I am learning to use my notes and other types of writing to help me understand information and ideas, explore new problems, generate and develop ideas or create new text- LIT1-25a.

Using digital technologies responsibly I can access, retrieve and use information to support, enrich or extend learning in different contexts. TCH 1-02a

We also carried out research in ICT and found out some interesting facts about Scotland.
