Road Safety Week, Writing a letter to Willy Wonka & Coding!

This week has been filled with many different learning experiences! It has been extremely enjoyable and we can’t wait for you to read all about it!

This week has been Road Safety Week and we have been focusing on ‘Superheroes’.

‘A road safety superhero is someone that helps you be safe on the road from getting hurt.’ – Scarlett

‘Superheroes are lollipop ladies and men, policemen/woman, firemen/women, paramedics and road constructors and many more.’ – Gurleen, Thomas, Harrison

During circle time, we had interesting conversations about different situations regarding Road Safety. We had to establish if the sentence had a hero or not!

‘For example, if someone was eating or on their phone whilst they were driving, they are not a hero.’ – Hasan

We participated in a Road Safety quiz! We are still waiting on the result to see if we won or not!

To promote ourselves being road smart and safe, we created posters!

Primary 3a had a letter received into class by the ever so famous Willy Wonka! He needs new recruits and asked if any of us would be interested in applying for job. We were extremely excited by this opportunity and wrote convincing letters to Mr Wonka to explain why we were worthy of a job in his factory.

In Maths, we have been exploring estimating and rounding!

We have also been learning about directions and movements. We have learnt how to use directions such as left, right, up, down, half turn, quarter turns, clockwise and anti-clockwise.

We have been using programmable toys such as Bee-Bots to help us practise our directions!

Today, we had the opportunity to use digital technology to play Kodable. This allowed us to practise core programming concepts through engaging games.
