What a fantastic week of learning it has been. This week we had the opportunity to celebrate International Mother Tongue Languages Day!

In Literacy this week, we completed a comprehension task called Character Ladders! We had excellent discussions about the characters in our books and had to justify as to why we liked and disliked them.

‘A character ladder is when you draw your favourite and least favourite characters. Your favourite character goes at the top of the ladder and your least favourite character goes at the bottom. ‘ – London

‘You choose characters from your reading book and then you decide who is your favourite and least favourite.’ – Harrison

‘We were doing Spelling Scribble to practise writing our spelling words within the Crescent Moons! Each word is in a different colour’ – Aria

To demonstrate our understanding of sequencing, we had to put instructions in order to create a moving cat!

‘Sequencing is when you put instructions in the correct order from the beginning to end.’ – Hasan

We were successful learners in creating a moving cat!

This week we have been introduced how to use a dictionary!

‘We use a dictionary to find the meaning of a tricky word.’ – Emelia

‘The letters in a dictionary are in alphabetical order’.’ – Luca V.

‘If you are looking for a word, you look at the first letter and then look at the second letter to help you find the word faster.’ – Jace

‘We used the dictionary to find Mrs Amin’s tricky words! It was very funny!’ – Fara

This week we had a special day called HAPPY TWOS-DAY because the date was 2.02.2022! We used our mental maths skills and maths strategies to create calculations only using the number 2!

We have been working hard to solve vertical calculations with carrying.

‘Carrying is when a unit is bigger than 9, and you have to carry over the remainder to the tens column.’ – Kerr

Have you seen our google classroom to see us performing a Hindi song called Shava Shava? We learnt the lyrics to a Bollywood song and learnt about Urdu and Punjabi to celebrate International Mother Tongue Languages Day!

We all came to school dressed up in the colours of the Pakistan Flag!

This week, we have came to the end of our Science Topic ‘Sun Moon and Stars’! It was great to hear the final presentations this week.

Of course, we had the opportunity to play in the fantastic snow!

Next week, we have Parents Evening and I am super excited to share our learning with you! Today, everybody has taken home their Take Home folders. I hope you enjoy looking and reflecting over your child’s learning and jotters.

Please may I ask, that on Monday you return the folder including every single jotter. The worksheets can be kept at home for you to keep! I will see you all next week! Have a wonderful weekend superstars!

Love,

Mrs Amin☺️xx

 

 

We have been extremely confident whilst presenting our Sun, Moon and Stars presentations to our class audience. Every single person has worked extremely hard to showcase their learning.  We have been using a loud and clear voice whilst making eye-contact with our audience. At the end of our presentations, we welcomed questions. We ensured our questions made sense and were relevant to what was being discussed throughout the presentation.

It was incredible to see the variety of presentations we had. Some were created on posters, on a power point, on a SWAY and some of us even made non-fiction books!

We are going to create a display using our fantastic presentations. Thank you so much to everybody who worked incredibly hard to create their presentation. If you can’t see us presenting in the pictures today, do not worry, we will be presenting ours on Monday!

Come and look at us in action… ☺️

 

We are back! We are delighted to be reunited with our friends again after our well deserved holiday.  We have been successful learners throughout all of our fantastic learning experiences this week.

Following on from our previous learning of Robert Burns and Scottish Poems, we created our own Scottish Poem! Just as Robert Burns made an ‘Address to a Haggis’, we did so with our favourite food!

‘In our Scottish poem we used Scottish dialect such as an’, ma, fair fa and soor’. – Thomas

‘My poem was about fish and chips. I changed my normal adjectives into Scottish adjectives.’ – Fara

We have began Science this term and we are learning about the Sun, Moon and Stars.  Firstly, we are learning to explain why we have day and why we have night.

We can:

• identify where the natural light comes from on the earth
• explain how long it takes the Earth to complete one full spin
• use a globe, we can demonstrate an understanding of time zones
• create a diagram to demonstrate how day and night are experienced at the same time on earth

In Mathematics, we are learning to estimate and weigh items using the appropriate unit of measure.

We can:

• make a sensible estimate of the weight of the item
• weigh the item using the scale
• record the correct weight using grams or kilograms

‘A kilogram is made up of 1000grams.’ – Adam

Last week, we celebrated Chinese New Year! We explored the language Mandarin. We wrote our names using this language and enjoyed taking our time to carefully form the intricate letters.

Some of us even created our own stories and posters using Mandarin!

We created a Happy New Year Poster too!

For our final lesson for Drawing, we created a stormy landscape based on a Van Gogh painting using chalk.

What a busy week it has been indeed! Well done for always working so hard! Have a wonderful weekend superstars.

Lots of Love,

Mrs Amin ☺️ xx
