This week, we have been exploring what a growth mindset looks like and why it is important to challenge your brain. We considered what we can now that we didn’t used to be able to do, because we have pushed ourselves to try new challenges.

In our topic of Scotland’s Landscape, we have been exploring Scotland’s major rivers and focused on The River Tay. We worked in pairs to carry out research and complete a fact file. We also completed a map of Scotland’s rivers.

We are continuing to enjoy our class novel (Kensuke’s Kingdom) and we used this for our inspiration in loose parts play.

In Numeracy, we have been developing our skills in place value.

We have been working on recount writing and we wrote about a day we would never forget, focusing on describing using our senses.

Mr Foggo continued his drumming lessons this week and we are all enjoying learning to keep a steady beat.

In Art, we developed our skills in using watercolour paint and created images of the River Tay.

We explored some of our school environment in outdoor learning and identified some of the trees we have in our playground.
