We are becoming really good at verticalculations with both addition and subtraction. We use our mental maths to help us. we also know to use a ruler to draw straight lines.

Outdoor Exercise
We like to run about on our new pitch doing the Daily Mile. It keeps us fit and keeps our bodies moving. we can run or walk round.
We had great fun playing outdoors, exploring our natural surround. We found lots of insects and observed them and used our imaginations as we played.
Draw with Rob
It was back by popular request! We love “Draw With Rob”. Today we drew sloths. It was great fun!
Dictation with Partners
we did our dictation from our reading books and wrote with a partner. One person became the teacher and one person wrote and then they swapped over. we did very well for our first time back.
First Day Back
We had a brilliant first day back after Lockdown. We were all so happy to see each other and the day was spent playing and socialising and feeling happy again. We built Lego creations, read books, did craft, coloured and created 3D structures. We also did a bit of phonics and maths. But the highlight of the day was playing in the field for the afternoon. we climbed trees, made a pretend campfire, walked about with enormous branches, balanced on branches and discovered a whole world of minibeasts. So much learning outdoors in the lovely sunshine.
Unfortunately, Mrs Arbuckle didn’t take any photos! So unlike her! She was too busy enjoying being back with the children and playing alongside them. : )
Lockdown Week 1
Here are some of the highlights of week 1 of lockdown.
Birthday Party
We danced, we played games and we ate! A fun time was had at our class Birthday Party! Happy Birthday To Us!!
Mechanics
We have been building with screws and metal strips this week and constructing different things. It was quite fiddly at first, but we got there in the end!
Christmas Assembly
We watched the virtual Christmas assembly today and learned that it was important to share our love and be kind. The ministers from Mearns Parish, Mearns Parish, and Kirkhill Parish led our assembly.
