Wow! We have been working so hard! Have a look at what we have been up to.

 

Literacy:

For literacy, we have been learning and revising the sounds “ew”, “ow” and alternative “y”.  As part of our Library topic, we have also been learning about fiction and non-fiction books, and fact and opinion! For writing, we have been learning about persuasion! Have a look at our chocolate adverts and letters to the council about the library closures.

 

For Maths, we have been learning our the 2 and 4 times tables! We used our knowledge of the tables to learn how to divide by 2 as well. We have also been continuing to find missing numbers in sequences, to tell the time to half past and estimate! Here are some pictures of our learning!

 

We are also super lucky to be working with Eco Drama this term! Here are some pictures from our adventures.

 

 

 

RERC:

For RERC the class were learning about symbols which represent Judaism. They created their own symbols to represent things that are important in their lives. Then they made a Star of David.

 

 

For Health & Wellbeing, we have been learning about our feelings through PATHS. We have also been looking at Developing The Young Workforce and worked together to decide what skills we think are needed for different jobs! We will be looking at our own skills and future ambitions soon. We were also challenged to come up with a job title for every letter of the alphabet. We worked in groups to do this!

 

As part of our Scotland topic, we worked together to study and compare the landscape of Scottish cities and islands! Here are some of our ideas! We also, created some special art work. We looked at the Scottish artist, Caroline Duncan’s work for some inspiration. We focused on shape, form, pattern and colour for this project. Here are some of our finished island landscapes!

 

 

Lastly, we have been learning about space! We learned about the phases of the moon, the earth and sun. As part of our time topic, we learned the months of the year and seasons. We learned this term that it is Spring in Scotland right now, but it is Autumn in Australia!

We have now started our plants topic and are growing our own beans! Come back soon to see them grow.
