This week, we have been busy little elves, making candy cane Christmas tree decorations and Christmas Fridge magnets. We watched a fantastic online panto, too.
National Museum Roman Artefacts Experience.
This week we were lucky enough to gain a place on the National Museum of Scotland Roman Artefacts Experience. Expert Roman historians set up a live link with selected schools. We got to see real Roman artefacts and asked questions to the experts. They answered all of our questions!
This week we have been having some fun with clocks. We have been looking at o’clock, half past, quarter past and quarter to the hour on digital and analogue clocks.
Litter picking
We have been going out litter picking each week to help our janitors Peter and Frank to keep our playgrounds tidy. Here are some pics.
Remembrance Day
We learned about why we mark Remembrance Day on the 11th Day of the 11th month at 11 am, and held a minute’s silence in class. We looked at some ideas to create poppies, and decided to make our own using paper plates and paint. Here are our results. I’m sure you’ll agree they turned out beautifully!
Science
During our Science lessons this term we looked into how natural resources and materials are being used and the importance of their conservation. We have discussed the impact of our actions on the environment and decided to make posters encouraging others to take different steps to help out planet.
This term, we also worked with magnets, investigating which objects are magnetic and how magnetic field works. We conducted a series of challenges to see how magnets exert a non-contact force and then designed, constructed and played our own games using magnets. It was lots of fun!
Next, we made mind maps of what Energy is and talked about different types of Energy. We talked about heat, sound, light and electrical energy and we are able to identify examples of different sources of energy.
Numeracy
This week we have been learning to write numbers in words and also to tell the time.
Take a look at Emily and Uzair’s great work! 🥳
Limericks
For writing this week, we were learning about limericks and rhyming words. Here is Sali’s super limerick! ✍️
Handwriting
P2.5 have been working on joining “tr” this week. Look at our terrific work! ⭐️👍
Knights and castles
We have been working hard at home to learn all about knights and castles. We researched castles and then drew and labelled castles, made 3d castles and created our own armour.
Look at our fabulous work! 😁⭐️
