Hello,

Apologies for the lack of blog posts last week but the internet in the school was down for a few days and unfortunately I just could not get on but most of it is up and running now which is good.

Today we were learning about the difference between fiction and non-fictions book. We are excited to read a non-fiction book this week as our weekly reader. The children had superb questions and I saw many delighted faces when I told them this morning that we were going to be looking into non-fiction books.

In Social studies, we looked at how Chinese people celebrate Chinese New Year. We loved the dragons at the parade so much that we made our own.  The children learnt about the traditions of Chinese New Year and the story. Please click on the link below to see a video of the children wishing everyone a happy new year.

We continue to use class dojo for positive behaviour the class and we love it! It seems to be having a lovely impact in the class and out in the playground.

Hello,

In 3.11, we looked into the history of Robert Burns in celebration of his birthday today. Haggis was on offer at lunch time today and I heard it was lovely!

In ICT, we used Top Marks to help consolidate our learning. We focused on money today as we want as much practice as possible as well a fun way of learning. We focused on a toy shop game where we had to give change. It comes in many different levels which is great. This is a great way for the children to have the opportunity to learn about change and also promoting number skills. The children also enjoy using visuals and games to help them in Maths.

Good afternoon parents and pupils,

This week, I have introduced a positive behaviour system called Class Dojo which I know some of the children may have mentioned to you. It is used around the school and gets a great response from the children.

The children are very excited about using Class Dojo and we have already started implementing it for both personal points and group points. This will not be available for parents to view however hopefully you will be joining me, Miss Pervaiz, to encourage the children to gain points in school. There are many ways to do this including good listening, team work, persistence, working hard and for being on task.

There is also a new piece of homework which has been issued this week. This is the talking homework where each stage has been given a different topic to discuss at home relating to children’s rights. Please see the leaflet provided for information. This is due Friday 27th January 2017.

I am very excited to be joining 3.11 and look forward to having great learning experiences.
Please do not hesitate to send a note in or to say hello as I am always at the doors at the end of the day.

Thank you,

Miss Pervaiz
