We can’t believe that it is Friday already. We have had such a busy week.
We have started our new topics this week.
In Social Studies we are reading the Katie Morag books and finding out the differences between life on an island and life in Glasgow. We found out that The Isle of Struay is really the Island of Coll. We took a virtual tour around the island and saw some of the buildings that are on it. It is soooo different from where we live. Some of us decided we would like to go there on holiday.
We are looking forward to doing some map work and then finding out about the transport used on an island compared to the transport in Glasgow. We will also be looking at different maps and even drawing our own.
In Science we are learning about Living and Non-living things. We are looking forward to finding out more about this.
Our P.E. days are now Tuesday (as usual) but also Wednesday instead of Friday. We have been enjoying learning new skills in Gymnastics and also participating in some relaxing yoga.
Finally – we had to put on our thinking hats as we were asked to design different working areas in our classroom. We set to work with a partner and clipboard to draw our designs. We drew a map of the classroom and wrote a list of things we would like to have in class to help our learning. We are going to update our reading and writing corner and create a new maths area. We also said we would like a junk modelling corner too.
Watch this space – we will post some pictures when these areas are all ready.
