P7’s day out at Hillpark

Last week P7 went to Hillpark for a STEM day.

First of all we made rockets to launch later that day. We made them out of card and sticky tape. Next we had our break and it was delicious.

Then we went to maths and learned how to find the average speed of our rocket. After that we went to science to launch our rockets outside to see how far they went.

After we launched our rockets we went for lunch. It was very tasty.

After lunch we tried to recreate our rockets in ICT. They were amazing. Here are some pictures from the day.

Trick or Treat …

We started off the week with all the children being replaced by scary figures…..but not to panic they had all been returned by Tuesday.cimg2235 cimg2236 cimg2237 cimg2238 cimg2241cimg2239 cimg2240

The boys and girls started blending this week and we were so impressed with their knowledge of their sounds and how they applied them to blending to make words.

Look at how we learn….

Number Time

The children really are really engaging in the range of different learning opportunities happening in and out of the classroom.  This week we have been focusing on number ordering, formation and being able to sort objects into sets.  Here are some examples of the children hard at work.

We took advantage of the nicer afternoons this week and we went on a shape hunt.  The children were looking for examples of 2d shapes in their environment.

I wonder if you can guess which letter we were learning about?

Yip that’s right ‘l’ – the boys are girls made lollipop crafts to reinforce that sound! Mmm they look good don’t they.

It’s very important that we reinforce our sounds so we did this through sorting activities and roll and cover activities.

The children have started to read, write and identify common words – watch out we have some new readers about 🙂

A listening station has been introduced at language time.  The children really enjoy listening to stories and telling us about what they listened to.
