Hello, welcome to our November/December blog! We have been learning lots of new things in the last couple of months that we will tell you about…

Literacy

Writing

“We  wrote an imaginative story about Santa’s workshop. We had to include punctuation and adjectives” – Brodie

“We also wrote a Letter to Santa. The letter had to have the address, date and begin with ‘Dear Santa’ and we posted it in our postbox that we made in class” – Aaliyah

“We did a block of instruction writing. We made shortbread with Mrs Cameron, we had to use flour, sugar and butter. We then wrote the recipe” – Emily

“We did a re-draft of our Santa letter. It is important to make sure it looked neater and better” – Simran

Spelling

“We learned lots of new spelling rules for example to ‘ai, a_e and ‘ay’. We wrote our words in our jotter and we played Sparkle” – Maya

Reading

“We made books with Miss Nisanci. My book was about a little girl going to school. It had to have a a front cover and a blurb” Meerab

“After we made our books, we helped Primary 2s make their own books too. My book was about a boy that dressed up as a ghost that came to life” Mikey

Handwriting

“We have been learning how to join letters. I think I am getting better at it” Thomas

Maths

“We have been learning about measurement, we used cm, mm and metres. To measure items we used a metre stick and a ruler. We had to make an estimation and check if we were correct” – Ashraf

“We were learning about 3D shapes. We were learning about faces, edges and corners. A cube has 6 faces and so does a cuboid” – Matthew Fryars
