Newton Farm Primary School and Nursery Class

Room 4

November 15, 2024 by Miss Laird | 0 comments

Hello everyone,

We have had another busy week in Room 4. 

In literacy this week we have been learning the ‘aw’ phoneme. We have enjoyed working in pairs with our magnetic boards to say, make, break, blend, read and write the words. We also learnt 4 new common words – very, fast, took and there. 

In Maths we have been revising measurement and introduced calculating the area of different shapes. 

We were also very lucky to have a visit from the Young STEM leaders, who brought Indi along to allow us to explore the basics of coding. We had lots of fun and can’t wait to use Indi again.

Some of Room 4’s favourite parts of this week:

JB – I liked learning about square centimetres.

EF – I liked learning The Grand Old Duke of York in PE.

EMcK – I liked writing dictated sentences.

CG – I liked learning how to measure the area of a shape. 

RB – I liked painting autumn leaves.

MMP – I liked when the STEM leaders visited us with INDI 

JN – I liked learning the ‘aw’ sound.

YS – I liked writing sentences about autumn.

HW – I liked playing with Indi.

MM – I liked learning the ‘aw’ sound.

We hope you have a lovely weekend.

P7 UGS Numeracy Challenge

November 15, 2024 by Miss Napier | 0 comments

On Tuesday this week, Uddingston Grammar (UGS) held the Newton Farm heats for the Numeracy Challenge transition event. Mrs Kennan (Head of Mathematics at UGS), along with some S6 helpers, led the challenge where each of the ten groups had to work as a team to answer seven clues. The first two teams to answer all the clues received a key that opened a treasure chest full of tasty treats to choose from! The winning teams will be attending the Numeracy Challenge final in December along with the finalists from each other UGS catchment school. More information on this event to come.

Here’s what some of our pupils had to say about the event:

“The teamwork part was very fun!” – Lennon

“I thought it was fun that we had to go in groups to discuss the answers and work out the challenges together.” – Jack

“It was fun getting to meet the S6 helpers and working with them.” – Emily

“It was really quite fun and I liked how the challenges were different. The decoding challenge was so much fun!” – Daisy
