This week we made a map of the school grounds. We had to work out what each thing was and then make a key to show them all. We used thee maps this afternoon to do a treasure hunt. Each thing was marked on the map and we had a grid reference for each one too. We had to work in our team to find each thing and get back to the classroom as quickly as possible. We also found places inside the school on a map using grid reference.

As part of Book Week Scotland, we read The Worry Tiger which is in our book bags. We learnt about being mindful. We drew tigers by following instructions. We then coloured them using oil pastels. They look great.

In Numeracy, some children did a Domino Challenge where they had to sort 4 dominoes so each side added up to the same. They also did some doubling of 2-digit numbers. Other children were revising adding numbers within 20 including some empty box questions.

As part of our Literacy learning, we did the Comprehension Box.

For our writing this week we watched Something Fishy and wrote a Diary Entry about it.

In French we learnt some classroom instructions. We then played Jacques a dit…which is the French version of Simon Says.

Today we went to our Committees and did different activities while we were there.

Also, as part of Book Week Scotland we joined a Live Book Event with author Robert Tregoning. He read us his new book called The Dress in the Window and we learnt a dance to go with it!

In Health and Wellbeing, we thought about the things we can be grateful for. By concentrating on the positive things in our lives we can feel better. We wrote two things that we were grateful for on leaves and have made a Tree of Gratitude for the classroom.

In PE, we had a hockey tournament and practised our football skills again.

In Literacy, we were writing questions using question words and question marks.
