CREATIVE CHALLENGE
We have to complete a creative challenge every week. Here are just a few.
Finlay – I think everyone who made all these creations are incredible.
FRACTION ACTION
Having explored fractions by taking part in practical activities, I can show my understanding of:
- how a single item can be shared equally
- the notation and vocabulary associated with fractions MNU 1-07a
We have been learning about fractions and have been finding fractions of shapes.
Through taking part in practical activities including use of pictorial representations, I can demonstrate my understanding of simple fractions which are equivalent. MTH 1-07c
We know that two quarters is the same as a half and two halves and four quarters are the same as one whole.
COPY AND PASTE
Over the last few weeks we have been opening a document, typing, copying and pasting and inserting online pictures. We also had to resize the picture and save our document.
HARVEST AND SUKKOT
I am developing an awareness of the ways in which followers of world religions celebrate different times of year and can relate these to my own life and community. RME 1-06b
We have been learning about the Christian festival of Harvest and also the Jewish festival of Sukkot. We designed and made our own Sukkahs.
Jewish people like to thank God for looking after them.
Sukkot is celebrated in the Autumn, it is similar to the Christian festival of Harvest.
It is a time to remember the time the Jewish people spent in the wilderness, being lead by Moses, when they escaped from Egypt.
To remember and celebrate Sukkot, Jews build a sukkah.
A sukkah is a special hut with a wooden frame. The roof is made from branches and leaves because the stars can still be seen through them.
It is nicely decorated with candles and fruit. People like to hang fruits from the roof and hang pictures and decorations on the walls.
During the Sukkot celebrations Jews like to spend as much time as they can in their sukkah. They will eat, sing, tell stories and even sleep in their Sukkah.
Archie McI and Cara – We loved building the sukkah’s.
SILLY BILLY
As I listen or watch, I can identify and discuss the purpose, key words and main ideas of the text, and use this information for a specific purpose. LIT 1-04a
To show my understanding across different areas of learning, I can identify and consider the purpose I am aware of and able to express my feelings and am developing the ability to talk about them. HWB 1-01a
I know that we all experience a variety of thoughts and emotions that affect how we feel and behave and I am learning ways of managing them. HWB 1-02a
I understand that there are people I can talk to and that there are a number of ways in which I can gain access to practical and emotional support to help me and others in a range of circumstances. HWB 1-03a
We read the book Silly Billy about a boy who worried about everything. His grandma told Billy about making a worry doll. He could then tell the worry doll all of his worries.
We explored some of the things we worry about and we all made worry dolls that we could tell our worries to. We also discussed who else we could tell our worries to and in class we made sure we all knew how to use our worry box. Lets hope we don’t have any more worries.
MONEY MATTERS
I can use money to pay for items and can work out how much change I should receive. MNU 1-09a
The Cuboids have been learning the value of all coins and notes. They have been adding amounts and working out change.
MISCHIEF MAKERS
Well done to Amber, Amelie and Rebecca on completing the Summer Reading Challenge.
Finlay – Well done everyone that completed the summer reading challenge.
SYMMETRY
I have explored symmetry in my own and the wider environment and can create and recognise symmetrical pictures, patterns and shapes. MTH 1-19a
We have been using mirrors to identify symmetry in the classroom and we made our own symmetrical pictures.
3D SHAPE SORTER
I have explored simple 3D objects and 2D shapes and can identify, name and describe their features using appropriate vocabulary. MTH 1-16a
We have been identifying 3D shapes. We knew all of their names and correctly matched up each shape with it’s name. We found items in the classroom and identified which 3D shape they were.
We also described each shape by finding out how many faces, edges and corners/vertices they have.
We then made 3D shapes using 2D shape nets.
