Monday and Wednesday with Mrs Meiklem

Tuesday with Miss Allan

This week we did our PE outside. We were playing games to do with balance and stability. We loved playing hot dog tig and rolling about the grass!
We practised skimming and scanning skills using highlighters and made our own notes. We wrote information reports about moles.
In numeracy we used objects to show commutative pairs (3×4 and 4×3…).

In literacy we have been learning about past and present tense words and how to use them in sentences. We have played lots of games to develop our understanding and next week we will continue on with this area.

We have continued to build on our racket skills with beanbags and next week we will move on to use tennis balls! We have been competing in pairs and teams.

We began the planning of our own inventions in pairs. We were very creative and designed some interesting things!

Have a lovely weekend. X

Monday to Wednesday with Mrs Meiklem What a lovely sunny week we’ve had! We enjoyed learning outside lots this week. In PE we were practising throwing and catching with lots of fun music and games. In numeracy we took our learning outside and used natural materials to group objects for multiplication. We have been doing lots of extra writing and seeing how much we can write in 10 minutes. We planted sunflowers in science and talked about what a seed needs to grow. We are setting up an experiment and making predictions. In topic we were reading for information about beavers. We made our own notes and wrote information reports.

We have had a lovely first week back! We created a fantastic display to showcase our trip and the adventures we got up to. This included art, stories and reviews.

We started learning some tennis skills using beanbags and were able to work in pairs and in groups.

We learnt some new symbols in numeracy.

We explored some new resources in our classroom.

What a wonderful trip we had with NatureScot at Tentsmuir on Wednesday! We hunted for bugs and even found a frog. We used the telescope to watch the seals on the sandbanks and had fun making our own artistic creations in the sand. There was even time for a little play in the play park before coming back to school.  Then an ice lolly at the end to top it all off!

The whole class took part in our Spring service. We sung songs and showcased our art work from this term.

We created Easter cards and pictures and shared our plans for the up and coming holidays.

We hope you have a lovely relaxing holidays.

This week we planted some wild flowers to attract butterflies and bees in our class planter box.
We also had such fun at our Rio Cinema Day trip. It was great to organise and enjoy our enterprise day together at the end of term.
We enjoyed our final gymnastics session where we  worked with a partner to make up sequences on the equipment.
In French we were labelling classroom objects. We also write Easter poems.
Have a fabulous holiday!

The boys and girls had Miss Alan yesterday and had lots of fun. They were able to code on the netbooks so that they could make characters move and they took part in a litter pick.

Today we have been learning some new symbols in maths – more than, less than and equal to. We created our own crocodiles to help us remember them!

We all had our last week of committees for the term.

We finished our spring art which we are all so excited to share and practised our service songs.

We have been pulling together some of our Scottish Inventors learning to create a timeline in our class.

Have a lovely weekend all. Xx

This week we celebrated World Story Telling Day with lots of stories. On a sunny afternoon we made our own obstacle courses from loose parts. We were learning how to write poems this week.
In French we were learning the words for classroom objects and instructions.
We have all been enjoying practising the songs for our Spring Assembly.
Next Tuesday is our class trip to the Rio.

This week we have been preparing for our Spring service. We have chatted about ‘what spring means to us’ and the children have come up with lovely stories around what they do with families around Easter time. This will be shared at our service represented by art.

We have come to an end of our data displaying topic and we voted for which Scottish invention was most important. Lots of us thought the steam engine!

We have been considering how we can help in a situation where someone is unconscious. Lots of us are becoming confident in following 7 steps to ensure we are safe to help others if needed.

In literacy we have been talking about fact or opinion. We came up with great comparisons.

We have all been very busy in our committees as last week is our last of this term. We enjoy sharing our experiences with our peers when we come back together.
