Mr Atkinson’s comment:
I hope everyone enjoys the upcoming long weekend!
Literacy and English
We have now started exploring a different genre of writing, imaginative! Mr Atkinson shared a video with us a story about a child and his robot but he only showed us the beginning and ending. We then had to write the climax and resolution of the plot to fill in the missing events. In our paragraphs we were encouraged to use skills we had learned about earlier in the year such as; similes, descriptive language related to the senses, connectives and correct punctuation.
Numeracy and Maths
Some of us have been learning how to recognise quarter to and quarter past on clock faces, exploring the process of multiplying and dividing numbers by 10, determining start and end times by using our knowledge of the bridging method, and converting cm and m which helped us with measuring objects.
Health and Wellbeing
In our Athletics lesson we have been honing our throwing skills by using the javelins. We have also been continuing to improve our shot put technique by aiming at targets which were worth a certain amount of points.
We have also been discussing who we can share and talk to if we have worries.
IDL – Olympics and Euros 2024
We have been listening to national anthems and watching video clips of Olympic medal ceremonies and opening international football matches. Feeling inspired we tried creating Flower of Scotland using GarageBand and then we developed our very own Crookfur Primary anthem! As a class we also successfully recreated a popular Harry Potter theme using the app.
Working in groups we researched and designed information posters with facts about how sports have changed due to technology and presented these to the class.
Outdoor Learning
The pupils had a fantastic time seeing some of their P2 buddies in the Woodland this week! The class also created their very own clay faces using natural materials and placed them on different trees to decorate the area.
