End of Term 🍂

Room 3 have had a great week to finish off a fantastic term. We have really enjoyed getting used to our school routines, expectations and making new friends along the way.

This week in Science, we learned all about the senses and how we use these to touch, smell, hear, see and taste. After having a discussion about all of the different senses, we worked together to organise different foods, items and objects to what sense would match these best. For example, we thought the foods would link best to taste, while instruments would fit best next to the hear sense. Have a look at our display on the board.

This week as part of our nurture afternoon, we learned about the importance of self-love. As part of this learning we spoke about the importance of being kind to ourself to help boost our self-esteem. During assembly we shared some of our super work, where we were asked to draw a self-portrait of ourselves and think about something we loved about our personality, talents or appearance.

To complete our week, we had fun getting the paints out and designing our own autumn trees. We worked so hard to make these realistic.

Pupil Voice

Here are some comments about this week’s learning:

GM, AR. CD – I liked playing with my friends.

KH, MM – I liked getting a good report at parents night.

VC, IM – I liked using the balls in PE.

ET – I liked outdoor PE.

CJ – I liked doing my autumn tree.

RC, ST – I liked playing and dancing in the playground.

CW – I liked reading the dinosaur books.

CG – I was proud of myself for getting star writer.

PC – I liked playtime.

EM – I liked learning about sight when doing senses.

Thank you to everyone who was able to attend parents evening yesterday, we had a great night sharing all of the progress in learning. Have an amazing October break!

Room 27’s Blog

We cannot believe it is the end of Term 1 already! We have all had a fantastic start to Primary 5.

Let us tell you what we have been learning about this week.

We had an exciting start to the week with pizza making on Monday. We then wrote about this on Thursday, creating our very own recipe cards. We did a great job at remembering the ingredients and measurements!

We finished reading ‘The Wild Robot’ and worked hard to learn our common and tricky words.

In Maths, we have learnt how to round to thousands and finished our topic on compass points and directions. We played sinking ships to help practise times tables. This was great fun!

We enjoyed some team games at the end of PE on Friday.

“My favourite thing we did this week was ‘French 11′” LK

“I liked playing sinking ships in Maths.” SM

“My favourite part was definitely making pizzas.” AM

“I really enjoyed making the pizzas and writing our recipes.” AG

“I really enjoyed eating my pizza!” MN

“I loved leading the warm up in PE.” AR

“I liked the one-shot challenge in basketball.” KH

“I liked the rock, paper, scissors challenge in PE.” JD

“I really liked doing the hoop game.” OB

“I liked playing prisoner dodgeball.” BM

Thank you for reading our blog, have a wonderful holiday!

Room 26’s Spectacular Blog!

This is Room 26’s Spectacular Blog! We will tell you about our week and what we have learned.

This week we have been doing basketball games. We put all our skills to the test and played 8 games all together over 2 days.

In our book, Kensuke is into rock painting so we did it ourselves! Our options were a cherry blossom tree, fruit, birds, dolphins, gibbons and orangutans.

Next week we will have even more to tell you. So make sure you come back next time!
