Today we travelled outside counting up in tens. We learned and remembered that when we add or subtract ten from any number that the unit digit doesn’t change. This really helped us become more confident in counting up and down in tens.
We then moved on to placing numbers within 100 on to a giant number line. Before rounding these numbers to the nearest ten.
Finally we had lots of fun sorting out the numbers and playing some rounding games together.
Today we started off by looking at different ancient Egyptian coffin designs and discussing their appearance and who it might have inside. We had some great discussion about detail, wealth and gender.
We then took part in a draw-a-long with the National Museums of Scotland. We drew ancient Egyptians coffins. We added our own detail and colour at the end.
✍️ 👍🤩
We have started a new mini topic on the Egyptians! Today we were learning about mummification and created our own masks.
We celebrated ‘world sleep day’ in our pyjamas!
Enjoy a good snooze over the weekend! 😴 🛌
What a glorious day to spend outside for outdoor learning today! The sun didn’t stop shining and helped make our learning even more fun!
We started off with some warm up games to make sure we know which way is left and which way is right.
After that we organised ourselves into time order then stood at the correct positions round our giant clock.
Once we had made numbers for our clock we learned about how the big hand goes round the clock one whole turn every hour while the little hand only moves round one next mover each hour.

We then played a hunting game to match digital times with the analogue time on our giant clock.
Finally we tried to make some shadow numbers with our bodies to go round our clock…..it was much trickier than it sounds!
During STEM fortnight we were learning about germs. We undertook an experiment and over the holidays something happened…
we were all so fascinated with what had happened to our bread.
warning, do not look if you are eating toast or a sandwich… ⚠️
Please take a look at our Google Classroom for our weather forecast videos we created in a March. ☀️ ☔️ 💨 ❄️ 🌩
They are too big to be posted here.
We created our own mental maths questions for our friends to answer. We then had to assess each other’s work.
We had a fabulous morning revising our sight words. There were 6 stations that the children tried out:
1. Writing words in shaving foam
2. Making words with magnetic letters
3. Playing games on Nessy on our class laptops
4. Building words using spelling cubes
5. Rainbow writing words
6. reading books and spotting our words
The foam station was the most enjoyed because it was a little messy and fun to try out!
Today we enjoyed being outside spotting symmetry in nature and also on ourselves! We were really good a5 spotting shapes that weren’t symmetrical too!
We then went on to work in pairs to create our own symmetrical patterns. We took time to check and double check we had all the parts facing the right way and placed in exactly the right positions. It was great fun and we really enjoyed looking at all the patterns we had made too.
