Room 5

This week, Room 5 have been consolidating and extending their knowledge of telling the time using analogue and digital methods. Next week, we will be continuing to read the time to quarter past and quarter to, as well as continuing to read o’clock and half past times in analogue and digital clocks.

Our phoneme this week has been the split phoneme ‘u_e’ and we will continue this next week alongside revision of the previous week’s phoneme ‘a_e’.

A reminder that Friday 4th April is our ‘Dress Down’ day and the school will close at 2:30pm.

Room 6

We have had such a fun week in room 6 this week.

On Monday we went to Whitelee Windfarm, and spent the day learning about Wind Energy. We had a tour of the Wind Farm and even got to give one a hug! We enjoyed doing experiments to find out about wind, solar and hydro energy. We learned that there are 215 turbines at Whitelee, and they are really tall. We also learned that they are programmed to turn to face the wind at all times, which we thought was very interesting!

On Tuesday we started our new sound, ‘u_e’. We have also continued to look at telling the time to half past and o’clock. next week we will learn quarter past and quarter too.

We have finished our revision topics in Numeracy, and will be moving onto Division next week. We will be consolidating our spelling words for ‘u_e’ and ‘a_e’.

A massive shout out to the whole entire class, as we were awarded a Star Citizen certificate for our wonderful behaviour at Whitelee Windfarm.

Pupil Voice:

Colton: ‘I enjoyed drawing a bar graph today’.

Erica: ‘I enjoyed adding and taking away in maths’.

Katie: ‘ I liked practicing the ‘u_e’ sound.

Noah: ‘ I liked learning about Easter’

Louie: ‘I liked drawing a bar graph today’

Luca: ‘I liked the school trip and learning that there are 215 turbines on the wind farm’

Holly: ‘I liked learning to tell the time with Miss Riley’

Homework this week, we are consolidating the previous sounds. The maths task is on mathletics. This is the last week of homework before the easter holidays! Books are on Bug Club. I have forgotten to give out the folders, will send them home on Monday! Have a lovely weekend 🙂

Room 27

Thank you to Alexa, Kobe and TJ for writing our blog post this week.

 

This week we have been learning all about three digit by one digit multiplication in maths. For Red Nose Day we made a cube out of a net. Today we also made cuboids and triangular prisms from a net.  

We made a French calendar in our IDL jotters and today we made it on the ChromeBooks using Google Slides. With Miss O’Brian we completed a cutting and gluing task about Easter. Yesterday we made Mother’s Day cards and bookmarks.

Next Tuesday and Friday will be on our last block of rugby and fitness for PE.  

Have a lovely weekend,

Miss Macfarlane, Miss Higgins and all of Room 27.

Time ⏰

This week, Room 3 have been developing their understanding of time using the analogue clock. We have now learned about the different vocabulary surrounding this clock, such as hours hand, minutes hand, face and clockwise. We understand that the minutes hand moves faster than the hours hand and it takes the minutes hand a full turn around the clock for the hours hand to move between two numbers. We also know that a clock turns in a clockwise direction, which means that the numbers get bigger as the hands move around the clock until they reach 12 and reset again. This week we were continuing to practise how to tell the time to the hour when using the word ‘o’clock’ and showed our learning using the teaching clocks. We were also able to identify things we do at different hours of the day.
