Room 26’s Fantastic Blog!

We are gonna tell you all about Room 26’s week!

In maths we were learning about time. We learned 12 hour time and 24 hour time. We used mini clocks to help us.

We also were reading a timetable. We made up our own questions to ask the class. 

We all did a solo talk about people who inspired us and you can do people who are famous also . 

In handwriting we learned how to join our J’s. Some of us thought it was easy but some thought it was a bit hard.

For literacy we did peer marking. We had a checklist for each other (we were in pairs). Firstly we had to read a story we made with Miss Burns, after we did the checklist.

Made by: 

Leah, Lucy and Saad.

Thank you for reading and listening to our Fantastic Blog!

Room 2

Thank you to our parents/carers who came along to our open afternoon yesterday. It was great to see the children sharing their learning with you from this year and taking you a tour around our classroom.

We have been busy in Room 2 over the last couple of weeks. We have:

HMcH – Learned ‘ai’ – we came up with ‘rain’, ‘plain’, ‘brain’, ‘train’ and ‘painting’.

ER – I liked when we were doing maths and literacy. For maths, we were learning about coins. 

AD – Got a shop in the classroom. We made it. It has a counter, sign, baskets and a till.

AT – I liked when we were learning about best friends. We were learning that we had to be kind.

HMcG – Been learning through play. I am building with Lego.

Have a super weekend everyone, hopefully it stays dry! 🙂

Room 1

Good afternoon,

Primary one have been carrying out lots of different art activities this week. We looked at line and pattern and created lovely ice cream cones. We then explored colour mixing and looked at primary colours and secondary colours. Finally as part of our RSHP lessons we draw a family portrait using all the different skills we have learned this year about adding detail to our drawings. The boys and girls hope you all enjoyed their art pieces and other work that has came home this week.

Have a lovely weekend

Thank you

Mrs Ventre and Room 1

Footballing Success

We’ve been able to celebrate two football successes this week with our P7 Boys Football team.  Today, they played their final games in the league and came 2nd which is a fantastic achievement.

On Monday, they took part in the Bobby Murdoch Cup which is an annual competition held in the pitches here at Newton Farm, and our P7 team won the competition!

Throughout the year, a number of boys have played in the team and every single one of them has been a brilliant ambassador for our school. We are very proud of them all.

A big “thank you” to all the boys who attend weekly football training, to the parents who come and cheer the boys on, and of course to Scott who trains with them every week and takes the boys to the competitions.

We created cross curricular links with our Chocolate topic, literacy and health and wellbeing to create our own chocolate bar persuasive writing posters!

Take a look at some of our posters…

Room 5

This week, Room 5 have been learning the phoneme, “mb”.

We discovered that this sound has a silent ‘b’ and usually comes at the end of a word, unless it is followed by a suffix -ed or -ing.

In maths, we have been extending our knowledge of column addition by using the method of “carrying over” when the numbers in our columns add together to make a number of 10 and above. Have a practice with someone at home!

Room 6

This week in Room 6 we learned a new sound ‘ff’ as in different. The children enjoyed lots of different active spelling stations to explore different ff words. We have been learning about capacity and weight in Maths, and are moving onto 3D shape. We have been revising our times tables and division, and have challenged ourselves to the 3 and 4 times table! Keep practicing at home!

We have been reading Charlie and The Chocolate Factory as our class books which links into our chocolate topic, and have been really enjoying this.

Pupil Voice:

AW: I liked the ‘ff’ sound and I enjoyed reading my new book.

EB: I liked learning the magnetic boards.

WMCC-  I liked learning RME with Miss Riley, learning about Mosques.

CO: I enjoyed missing number sums in maths.

NM: I liked writing about our chocolate bar.

LW: I enjoyed making a lego mosque.

AO: I liked doing P.E with Room 4 and Room 5.

Shout out to our Star Mathematician, Emily for showing confidence in multiplication and a shout out to our Star Citizen, Charlie for always taking pride in his work. Well done!

This week Teddy went home with Abigail!

 

Homework is consolidation of all previous sounds, books are on bug club and maths task on mathletics.

 

Thanks so much,
