Mr Atkinson’s comment:
I have been so impressed with everyone’s excellent effort this week! Thank you to all the parents and guardians for allowing pupils to bring in copies of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone.
Literacy and English
John – This week in writing we explored and discussed different pictures and and were challenged to imagine ourselves in these settings. Afterwards, we created a vocabulary list which we used to help us to create a story based on one of the pictures. Our goal was to use as many of the senses as possible to create a clear setting.
Sara – We have been learning how to use dictionaries to discover the definitions of words we were unfamiliar with from the class novel.
Aarohi – We finished our VCOP wall which we are going to regularly update so that we can use it to help with our writing.
Emma and Finlay – We all did comprehension and spelling check-ups.
Chloe – In our French lesson with Mr McMillan we learned about landmarks in Paris.
Numeracy and Maths
Ruairidh – We did a couple of check-ups to revise some of the work we have learned in previous years.
Health and Wellbeing
Retal – With Mr McMillan we learned how to defend and tackle safely in hockey.
Lewis – As part of our Growth Mindset topic some of us discussed what success and failure looked like. We shared with our friends when we have used our Growth Mindset strategies to overcome something challenging.
Kate – Some of us created Growth Mindset passports. Inside them we wrote what we found challenging at school, what strategies we use to overcome them and how we feel when we experience successes and failures.
Isla – Working in partners we created motivational messages which we will use in class when we find something challenging.
Alfie – In P.E. with Mr Atkinson we played a version of bucketball, it was great!
Expressive Arts
Ruairidh – One of our tasks after reading a chapter from Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone was to work in groups and re-enact the main events in front of our friends.
Science
Emma – With Mrs Lamont some of us learned about why rats are important.
Harley – With Mr Atkinson we learned about chemical reactions. Afterwards, we used the Chromebooks to research everyday chemical reactions and recorded our information in a Google Slide.
