P6 had a great trip to the library this week. We took part in some activities linked to our new topic and also browsed the library and chose books to borrow.

Food technology
P6 have enjoyed using the kitchen so far this term. We have been measuring and mixing ingredients for our baking , using the oven and cleaning up after ourselves!
We are looking forward to more opportunities for food technology throughout the year.

Money – P3a
It was Financial Education Week last week. The children took part it lots of different learning activities using money. They were recognising and skip counting coins; adding money to create different amounts; estimating costs and using magazines to total costs. We had lots of fun with our active learning.

P5a
This week P5a have worked very hard advancing their understanding of division in number and characterisation in language. Next week I will introduce fractions and help the children to find more information when a reading non- fiction text. P.E on a Thursday will now involve mastering skills in netball.

JRSO Be Bright Be Seen
We have done an assembly about wearing bright jackets on dark nights. You should wear reflectors on your jackets so at night a car would see you. Our class ( P5a ) have made some posters of bright jackets. We picked four posters to put round the school. We enjoyed the assembly, it was also a bit scary.

These are the four children with their posters to promote wearing bright jackets this winter.
Growth Mindset -P3a
We ended this weeks learning with a Health and Well-being lesson focused on Growth Mindset. The children learned about the differences between a fixed mindset and a growth mindset . We worked together to highlight the positive growth mindset statements. The children then created their own fixed mindset statements then used their learning to turn them into positive statements. The children especially loved getting to write their statements on the desks!

SPOOK-tacular Artwork – P3a
The children celebrated Halloween with lots of spooky learning today. They especially enjoyed creating their amazing ‘Mummy Eyes’ artwork. They used oil pastels and selected complimenting colours to create these bright and glaring eyes. These will look fantastic on our classroom walls, well done P3a!
