Literacy

For our Literacy speedy skills this week we have been revising all of our words with diagraph sounds! We found them in books, wrote them, made them and played games with them!

Some boys and girls even independently found rhyming words in books! They enjoyed writing them on the tables with our special pens.

We are still focusing on sequencing as our reading skill this week.
We have sequenced pictures, sentences, events from a video clip and even acted out a sequence!

As part of book week Scotland we have read lots of stories this week!

We enjoyed reading Charlie and Myles’ dinosaur stories.

Everyone had a great time on Friday wearing their exciting hats for the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party! Everyone looked amazing!

Numeracy

We have continued to think about capacity with Miss Geddes this week. It has been very active! The children were making estimates and measuring with household items.

We then used our knowledge of capacity to measure liquids and make icing sugar! Everyone was very excited about making empire biscuits. We had some great discussions about measuring accurately and where we would need to use this in real life.

We have continued to learn strategies to answer missing number calculations and have moved on to think about linking addition and subtraction facts!

IDL- Dinosaurs

This week we have been archaeologists in the woodlands! Everyone used tools to carefully dig up and categorise dinosaur bones, eggs and fossils!

We have been reading a novel called The Dinosaur’s Diary! Miller drew some excellent pictures from the book.

Kayla made her own version of the dinosaur from blocks!

Charlie made a dinosaur from gems too!

We then used our knowledge of food chains and what animals eat from our Under the Sea topic to sort dinosaurs into carnivores, herbivores and omnivores!

 

Everyone got a chance to measure their foot against a scale stegosaurus footprint. We watched a news clip about these being found on the Isle of Skye!

Road Safety

For Road Safety week, we watched a video about crossing the road safely and went to the cycle track to practise this! After this, everyone enjoyed playing Road Safety snakes and  ladders!

Play

There have been some very complex buildings and race tracks built this week!
