Room 3

What a wonderful week we’ve had in Room 3!

In maths, we’ve been learning how to write number sentences for addition, using cubes and number lines to help us understand how numbers work together. The children have been doing a fantastic job using these tools to solve problems and explain their thinking.

In literacy, we’ve been revising the six sounds we’ve learned so far in Primary 1. This has helped everyone become more confident in recognising and using these sounds in different words.

To round off the week, we enjoyed lots of Halloween fun! The class loved taking part in Halloween dances, a parade, and a party with the other Primary 1 classes. We also had great fun designing our own pumpkins, using our creativity and imagination!

Just a little reminder — please could all homework jotters and folders be placed in school bags on a Tuesday or Wednesday each week. This allows time for new homework to be glued and put into homework folders. Additionally, the parent council Christmas art must be brought back to school by the 5th of November.

Wishing you all a fantastic time celebrating Halloween and a lovely weekend!

Happy Halloween from Room 11!

This week for Halloween we made some paper mache halloween lanterns.

‘We made faces for the lanterns’ DW

‘We made them out of toilet roll so they would be thin enough to light up!’ RC

‘It was very hard!’ EM

‘The glue was so sticky and it was really annoying because we didn’t want the toilet paper to rip’ OC

‘I thought it was fun’ AT

‘We used a balloon and stuck toilet paper to it’ NM

‘When we popped our balloons today, we hoped that they wouldn’t collapse!’ AW

We have also started learning how to play tennis in PE. WE have started off just using the tennis balls without the rackets to work on our hand eye coordination. The children are really enjoying the challenge!

Hope everyone has a great Halloween and don’t eat too many sweeties!

Room 17’s Epic Blog

We had so much fun this week and would love to tell you about it.

Firstly, Room 17 had a ‘Kensuke’s Kingdom Day’. On that day we finished our book called Kensuke’s Kingdom so we did a book review. Here is an example: Peyton said ‘In this book a boy called Michael tried to save Stella, his dog but he fell in the water. Peyton gave this book four and a half stars.

We also did handwriting. We were learning capitals. We had already learned A-T so we were focusing on U-Z. We even wrote a sentence in all capitals ‘I DISAPPEARED THE NIGHT BEFORE MY TWELFTH BIRTHDAY’. It was so fun .

We had so much fun telling you about our week so please come back next time for more .

Room 6 Outdoor Learning

In Room 6 we have had a fantastic week back after the October Week. We have all worked hard to get back into our class and school routines.

For our topic this term we are going to be learning about Sustainability. For our first activity Mr Allen took the class outside for the afternoon so that we could learn about the nature around our school. We went on a Nature Scavenger Hunt which meant we had to note down all the different forms of nature. The class were able to find different flowers, leaves, birds and insects.
