Room 5
We have had another fantastic week of learning in Room 5!
This week, we received a surprise letter from, ‘The Friendly Dragon’, asking us to help him save Fairyland and his fairytale friends!
We began by helping to rebuild the beanstalk by planting our very own beans!
We also continued our story telling of Jack and the Beanstalk by learning all about the importance of character speech and the punctuation that we use when writing this in our stories.
Take a look at our super story writers creating some great character speech bubbles for the characters in Jack and the Beanstalk…

Room 2!
Room 2 have been settling back into class and school routines after the Christmas break. We have enjoyed catching up with our friends and teachers and are looking forward to the term ahead.
For writing, we read a fantastic story called ‘The Dot’. It is about a little girl who believes she cannot draw. However, after drawing a dot on her page, it begins a journey of creativity. We were all given a dot and we had to use our imaginations to transform the dot into something else. We had such great examples such as, ‘The dot is a sun.’, ‘The dot is a flower.’ and ‘The dot is a bike.’. Here are some of our fantastic drawings and writing.
During Numeracy, we have started to learn how to sort and organise data. We spoke about our favourite colours and lunch choices and then worked out the best way to sort and organise them. We thought that putting the colours in a straight line would be much easier to count. We were able to quickly identify the most and least popular choices.
Please check school bags for homework folders as these were sent home today. Have a lovely weekend everyone! 🙂

Another week in Room 6
Happy Friday!
This week in Room 6 we have been learning the ‘ou’ phoneme (found, sound, mouse, house). We have also continued to learn the 2,5 and 10 times table and different strategies we can use to remember these. We started Gymnastics in P.E, big shout out to our amazing Gymnasts who modelled some excellent examples of different jumps we can do. We also had a special letter delivered by a Dragon, and he has asked us to help him save Fairyland! We are all so excited to help him.
Today we had our pupil voice groups, and we all learned something new!
LJ- I learned how to animate my voice on the chromebooks.
LW- We spoke about how everyone is different.
CS- I learned how to plant bulbs that will turn into flowers.
We have all had a fabulous week. Special shout out to our star reader of the week Rishaan.
Hope you all have a lovely weekend. Homework was supposed to go out today but we were so busy chatting about all of the fantastic learning that we forgot! I will send it home on Monday!

Snowmen
In Room 19 we have completed our amazing snowmen. We used a compass to draw the different sizes of circles, which proved trickier than it looked. They have a 3D effect, as we used cardboard to separate the snowman’s layers.
They have been getting lots of compliments from people as they pass by our class.

Room 9 Hockey
Our PE day has changed to a Tuesday now because we are getting to do something very special. The primary 3 and 4 classes are getting to do hockey as part of their PE this term. Our other PE day will stay the same.
For hockey we got to meet proper coaches from Uddingston Hockey Club and their names were Emma and Ruairidh. First of all they taught us how to hold a hockey stick correctly and we were shown how to move the ball around the gym using the stick. You are not allowed to use the curved side of the stick and you can’t lift it higher than your belly button. We then go to practise the Rainbow move which is moving the ball from side to side.
We all had so much fun and we can’t wait to do it again next week.

People Who Help Us – The Police 👮👮♂️
This week Room 3 enjoyed learning about the police and how they help us in everyday society as part of our IDL topic. We spoke about what people in the police wore (hat, hi-vis vest, boots, badge) and the type of equipment they carry (handcuffs, baton, spray, walkie talkie). We also had a chat and watched a short video about where police officers work, what vehicles they use and the use of police dogs. We found this very interesting!
As part of our play leaning, opportunities were provided to design your own police badge, colour the police person/car, be a police officer (role-play) and also build a police station or police vehicle. Learners enjoyed using these experiences to improve their understanding of this job role in society. Have a look at some of our designs/builds below!
Pupil Voice
Here are some comments about our learning this week:
MM – I liked doing the jumps in gymnastics.
ST – I liked balancing in PE.
LS – I liked building the police station.
AR – I liked doing the ‘o’ and ‘f’ sounds.
PC – I liked learning about and doing the police stuff.
LB – I liked playing in the playing in the playground.
CG – I liked learning about the police and hearing the story about it.
CJ – I liked using Successful Snake and Learning Lion.
Enjoy your weekend!

Happy New Everything!
Last week and this week we have been working on all new themes and topics. For Social Studies we picked teams to work collaboratively together to investigate different countries in Europe. No two teams have the same country.
In Numeracy, all groups are working on multiplication strategies. We are using different strategies to solve calculations. Miss Gray showed us how she had to do it when she was at school, long multiplication. We are glad there are different strategies now.
Our new class novels; Rooftoppers and The Hundred Mile an Hour Dog, are both proving to be fantastically entertaining books which seem to involve us using the class dictionaries more and more. We are divided as to whether this is a good thing or not. Miss Gray says it is an excellent life skill to have.
Homophones are tricky and we are learning which spelling to use in the correct place; to, too, two and there, they’re, their are confusing but practise will help.
We have some very brave class members who have been auditioning for the school show, ‘Disney’s Dare to Dream.’ The songs are ones that lots of us know and we are looking forward to learning about all aspects of putting on a show from backstage work to front of house. We are a lucky class as Miss Gray knows the songs and likes to sing them at us. We mean to us. 🙂 Such fun!
