Dinosaurs :-)

Room 2 have really enjoyed learning about dinosaurs. To finish off our topic, we decided to create our own dinosaurs using paper plates.

We cut out all the different parts, coloured them in, coloured in our plates and then glued the parts together. We think that they look great!

For our writing this week, we also created our own dinosaurs. First, we had to imagine what they would look like. We then had to draw and colour them in, give them a name and decide what our dinosaurs would eat.

We shared some of our dinosaur learning at assembly today with our friends in Primary 1 and 2.

Have a lovely weekend everyone,

Room 2 🙂

Room 7’s Blog

We have had a really busy STEM week in room 7. We used ICT to make Andy Warhol inspired pictures, learning how to resize, adjust and copy a picture we’ve inserted into a document. We also set up a scientific experiment to identify what cress needs to go – each group chose a variable to change . We are looking forward to our results next week.

Today wrote a letter to Mrs Calder about assemblies – and she’s asked us to help her plan next week! Mrs Norton thinks our persuasive language is brilliant, but wonders if we’ve maybe got more than we bargained for!!

On Monday we are going to do a practise for sports day with Primary 3 – can children wear PE kit on Monday if possible?

KC – I really enjoyed colouring my picture I made in ICT. I also enjoyed making my picture.

EA – I loved learning about pop art

CM – I loved doing the science this week.

RA – I am excited to plan the assembly

EL – I really liked doing the picture. I am so excited to sit on the benches on Wednesday

HW – I really liked doing the pictures.

AI – I liked doing ICT and pop-art. I am excited to sit on the benches on Wednesday

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Room 5

We have had another busy week in Room 5!

We continued our learning of double consonants and this week, we have been learning the phoneme ‘ll’. We know that this sound will always come after a short vowel sound. Take a look at our phoneme finding in action…

Our current topic, ‘Chocolate’, is still in full swing and, this week, we were able to learn with some real cocoa beans and identify all of its parts! We looked closely at the smell and texture of the husk (skin) and then we opened up the beans to find the chocolate nibs inside!

ROOM 26’s EPIC BLOG

This week we have been learning lots of fun subjects.

For the last three weeks on Tuesdays we’ve been learning hockey. The people from Uddingston Hockey taught us passing, v-drags and j-turns. It was really fun.

This week we have  been learning how to multiply and divide with decimals. The final decimal question we ever do is going to be 12 by 1. It’s going to be hard.

You should definitely come back next week because it is going to be amazing.

A Chocolate Filled Week

This week in Room 6, we were experimenting with chocolate. We talked about chocolate changing from a solid to a liquid when melting, and how the heat from the microwave helped this. We also learned that if we let the chocolate mixture cool down, then it will turn back to solid again and this is called a reversible change. We also enjoyed eating our chocolate fruit skewers after experimenting with the chocolate! For next weeks lesson, our prediction is that dark chocolate and white chocolate will melt the same as milk chocolate and we are excited to see if we are right! We spent some time on Wednesday writing instructions for ‘How to Make a Chocolate Fruit Skewer’, ask us about how we did this!

This week our sound was ‘ll’, and we worked hard on learning the rule that ‘ll’ always follows a vowel. For maths this week we have been trying different strategies to help us to do mental maths, such as using ‘chimney sums’ or breaking the numbers up for example (172+102 would be 100+100, 72+2). We are enjoying using the concrete materials to help us get to the right answer to.

Nieve: ‘I liked doing dictation today’

Erica: ‘I liked writing about my reading book’

Ari: ‘ I liked writing about my reading book and what happens at the beginning, middle and end’

Colton: ‘I enjoyed melting the chocolate and eating it too’

Katie: ‘I am happy that I got Star Reader’

Abigail: ‘I liked using the weights in maths with Miss Riley’

Willow: ‘I enjoyed making chocolate and eating it’

 

Thanks so much for another fantastic week. Homework is in bags, Mathletics task for maths and bug club for reading. Have a lovely weekend!

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…
