We have been practising our common words with lots of fun games.
We have also been learning about measure. Some boys and girls found objects around the classroom which told us it’s capacity in ml.
Month: October 2021
Maths and Numeracy
We have been learning to multiply using repeated addition. The boys and girls made arrays to solve the problem. They also challenged themselves with our chilli challenge and solved multiplication word problems.
Health and Well-being: Nutrition
We have been learning about nutrition. We have collected lots of different wrappers and looked closely at the traffic light label system which tells us the food’s nutritional value.
We coloured our favourite food and placed it on the nutrition wheel. We then created a label for our favourite food.
Making Smoothies
We have been learning about food groups and the importance of a healthy diet. We have already been learning about instructional writing so we decided to created a recipe for a healthy smoothie. We used our recipe cards this afternoon to create make a smoothie! We leave red to safely chop fruit and blend it together to make a drink. Some boys and girls also tried new fruit for the first time such as, pineapple and watermelon. They really enjoyed it! This week we have been looking at how maths is all around us for Maths Week Scotland. We noticed we had to use our maths skills to measure the correct amount of juice (200ml) to add to our smoothie. Some boys and girls discovered that when all the fruit and juice was blended together there was 400ml of liquid in the blender. Well done! We also had to count the fruit as it went into the blender. Kameron was also trying to cut his fruit into shapes.
