September P2a

In Social Studies we have been learning about the different climate zones.  We now know that there are 6 different climate zones and we can describe the typical weather patterns of each of them.  Next we will be learning about the Rainforest, which is found in the Tropical zone.

For our Art skills lesson we used our painted handprints to create trees and then using colours we showed the 4 different seasons of the year.  We will continue to develop our skills using paint and other media.

In ICT we have been learning the correct parts of the computer and have created our own pictures using a software programme to draw the computer and label the parts.  We will be using Code.org to practise dragging and giving directions/instructions to Angry Birds.

In Science, we have been learning about different materials.  As part of our Outdoor Learning we did a materials hunt to identify what things are made of.  We will be also looking at materials which are water proof and those that are man- made or natural.

We worked together to create out Class Charter, which looks at our rights and how we can respect each other and be kind to one another when we are at school.

In PE we are learning all about staying healthy by jumping, running and playing games.  All of these activities are helping us to maintain or improve our fitness levels.  Throughout the week we use Go Noodle in class to stay active.  We will be learning about the importance of tooth brushing and healthy eating.

In R.M.E we will be learning about the Christian festival Harvest.

In French we are learning how to count to 20 and to talk about ourselves.  We will be learning how to say different foods in French.

Literacy and Numeracy

Our learning in these areas will draw upon the contexts listed above but will differ according to the needs of each group. Your support with consolidation of core learning through homework activities will be very beneficial to our children.

Achievements

Some of us are being fit outside of school as well with achievements in running a mile for The Wee Nessie Run or walking 10km with WAG.  Many of us take part in healthy clubs, such as gymnastics, ballet, football, athletics, basketball, netball, tennis and swimming.  We love to keep fit!
