Room 5

What a great week Room 5 had immersing ourselves in our new topic, “Chocolate”!

We began the week by looking at the Cocoa bean and its key features, colours, texture and shape. We then used a variety of different paper to create our own Cocoa beans. Take a look at what we created…

We then researched the chocolate making process and discovered that there are a lot of steps that need to be taken before the chocolate is ready for us to buy and eat! We used our research to sequence the chocolate making process…

Room 6

This week in Room 6, we have been learning the ‘ss’ sound. We have focused on words like ‘mess, chess, less’ and  enjoyed writing silly sentences with the words. We have been working hard in our reading groups this week, all challenging ourself to read something more challenging.

In numeracy, we have been learning about multiplication and division word problems, and consolidating our 2,5 and 10 times tables to help us with dividing by 2,5 and 10. Today, we came up with different things we can use to help us with dividing. Some of the children used lego pieces, small parts, acorns, sticks, pens, paper and number blocks.

In our chocolate topic, we looked at the process of which chocolate is made and are looking forward to melting our own chocolate next week. We are still doing our instruction writing- ask us about making our own instructions based on our own drawings that our partners had to draw.

AW- I am really enjoying doing division.

CO- I like learning about the chocolate topic.

JH- I got Star Writer this week and it made me feel happy.

EB- I liked the addition and subtraction challenge this week.

KH- I enjoyed practicing for sports day.

LW- I liked doing running races.

WM- I liked using the acorns for maths today.

 

Homework is in bags, mathletics for maths, and bug club for reading.

Room 26’s Interesting Blog

Hello,

We are going to tell you about a very interesting week.

We finally found out our new topic, sustainability and enterprise. We are hosting a charity shop and we hope 

you can come. 

For Health and Wellbeing we have been learning about strengths and differences and we enjoyed learning this because it helped learn what we need help on and how we can help each other.

That’s all for now, see you next week!

Room 5

What a busy week Room 5 have had since returning from their Easter holiday!

In maths, we have started our division topic and will be using our knowledge of the 2,5,10 and 11 times tables to divide by 2,5,10 and 11! We worked hard this week to revise halving a number and transferred this knowledge to dividing by 2.

We started out new topic, ‘Chocolate’, and shared our current knowledge and what we would like to learn about as part of the topic!

Our week was finished off by Primary 2 hosting a very successful ‘Learning Showcase’. We would like to thank all of our Room 5 families and friends who took the time to come along and attend this very special event!

Take a look at our learning showcase in action…

The First Week Back in Room 27

It has been a lovely first week of the new term in Room 27. We have loved learning more about autism as part of Autism Acceptance Week, with a special assembly, bake sale and dress down day. We had the pleasure of hearing from Mrs Graham’s son, Euan, who visited us on Wednesday morning. After a discussion about how we are all different, we came up with some important words that link to recognising this. We then used these to create some beautiful Spring art work.

In our Morning Clubs we are really focussing on the skills that we are developing through our play experiences. This week, these are the things we have highlighted:

“We were working together and had good teamwork when we challenged ourselves to build the tower.”

AR: “We were really developing our communication skills. I had to use my communication skills when working with a partner in the construction area.”

JD: “I have been learning how to run a business with the jewellery and bracelet shop.”

KE: “I have been working on my singing and performance skills by creating a show in the imagination area.”

AG: “I’m improving my confidence by performing to the class.”

Thank you for reading our blog, we hope you have a great weekend.

Room 6

We just wanted to start the blog off by saying a huge thank you to all our mums, dads, grans and grandpas that came in for our learning showcase this week. The children loved showing you their learning.

This week our sound was the split digraph ‘e_e’, next week we will be looking at ‘ss’. We are still working on Division in Maths, and we started our new topic this week which is ‘Chocolate’.

Our P.E days have changed, we will now be doing P.E on Tuesday and Wednesday so that we can practice for sports day.

Homework is in bags, maths homework is on Mathletics and bug club books for reading.

The children have had a fabulous start to their final term of P2.

 

Thanks
