This week in Art we made boats with sails. We used oil pastels to design the hull and sails and paint for the background. We chose whether to make a sun out of tissue paper or folded circles. They look fantastic and they are going to be on display in the hall so you will be able to see them on the Open Evening.

In Literacy we have started writing a story. We chose our setting from a picture and then designed our own main character. We had to think about what happened first in the story, what happened next and then what happened in the end. We are still in the middle of writing them so will finish them on Monday.

In Numeracy we have been revising numbers to 100 and 1000, counting in 1s, 5s, 10s and 100s. Next week we are going to be learning numbers beyond!

As part of our Social Studies topic, Weather and Climate, we learnt about why Scotland has seasons. It is because of the earth’s tilt and whether or not Scotland is tilted towards the sun or away from it. We made posters about one of the seasons to explain what it is like and why.

In Music, we started to learn about the ukulele. We learnt about the different parts and what they are for and we practised holding it. Next week we will learn to pluck the open strings.

We had a competition to design a Drop a Note poster. There is an area in the classroom where children can leave a note if they would like to talk to an adult about anything that is worrying them. It was very difficult to pick just one winner so we have chosen a new poster for each term!

This week we have also been thinking about how Newport Primary supports us with all the Wellbeing Indicators. These are also going to be on display in the classroom so we can tell you all about them if you come in!

In PE, we have been playing some team games. We played ‘Rock, Paper, Scissor’ and Scatter Rounders.
