Our Learning Showcase! :-)

Yesterday we had our parents/carers in for our Learning Showcase. It was fantastic to show our adults some of the activities that we complete each week in class. We were having so much fun that we did not get any pictures!

CD – I liked the tuff tray with the division calculations.

OW – We did times tables snakes and ladders.

GO – I liked filling in the missing numbers on the missing number 100 squares. My family said that they wished they could have a shot.

ES – I liked playing BINGO. My mum had a good time.

Thank you for taking time out of your day to spend it with us. We had an amazing time!

Just a little reminder that Thursday 2nd May is an In-Service Day and Friday 3rd May is a non uniform day.

This Week in Room 2!

Hello everyone,

We wanted to share with you our favourite activity this week.

“We had to listen to our partner’s instructions.” M

“We couldn’t touch the people when they were walking, we needed to say the directions to help them.” E

“We were learning to listen and to give instructions.” A

“We had to direct our partner from the class door to the outside door.” D

“We were blindfolded and couldn’t see anything, we had to listen hard.” S

We all had great fun exploring positional language and creating instructions to our friends.

Thank you for reading our blog. We hope you have a lovely weekend.

Room 1

Good afternoon,

Room 1 have had a great week this week and have enjoyed lots of new learning.  We have been very lucky with the weather this week and have loved taking our learning outside. For example:

We took part in a fun fitness session on the pitches with Miss Finch and the Primary 1 and 2s.

We took our reading outside, and partner read our books.

We played show me don’t tell me with chalk to practise spelling our common words.

We practised writing our numbers to 20 with chalk and recalling our numbers before and after.

Please see pictures below of some of our outdoor learning.

Have a lovely weekend.

Thank you!

Learning the different ways we can learn

In class we have been looking at the different ways that children learn.  Some people can listen, some can read instructions and others can watch a demonstration. We found that the best way to learn is by getting someone to demonstrate as you can get to see exactly how something is done.

During PE this week Mr Allen demonstrated a game to us and we got to play the game which was good fun. We were then split into groups and we then got to design our own game using different equipment. When we were finished we got to try it out. After trying out the game we had to make lots of changes because things didn’t work out at first. Even though we made mistakes during the planning process, this actually helped to make our games better. So always remember it is ok to make mistakes as long as we learn from them.

We all learn differently (Nurture afternoon) 📚✨

As part of our nurture afternoon this week, Room 6 focussed on the principle ‘Children’s learning is understood developmentally’. We discussed the importance of understanding that people learn in different ways, before making a whole class poster about some ways that we like to learn. We came up with some super ideas and these can be seen below.

On Thursday, Room 6 have many exciting things coming up. We are looking forward to going on a trip to Euromix in the morning and welcoming family members in the afternoon for our learning showcase. As part of our planning for the showcase, we all picked a piece of work that we are proud of to put up on our WOW wall. Each piece is something that we enjoyed completing to support our learning and that we like talking about. Have a look at our great display.

We have been using our voices this week to identify what we have liked to learn about and why. We have made a PowerPoint for the showcase which highlights different learning experiences we have loved during P2 and reasons for this. We also had a chance this morning to complete thought bubbles on different curricular areas to show how we have found areas of our learning.
