Our New Learning 📚

In Room 6 this week, we have moved on to a new spelling sound, this being ‘ow’ as in owl. We have enjoyed getting the magnetic boards out and working collaboratively to practise these words. We also had fun identifying these in a phoneme story yesterday. We found it interesting that this sound is spelled the same as a previous phoneme we looked at (‘ow’ as in snow) and we are working to identify which words have which ‘ow’ sound.
In Numeracy, we have now moved on to subtraction. We have been consolidating our subtraction within 10 this week and familiarising ourselves with different tools we can use to help us, such as number lines, number squares, cubes and our fingers. We discussed the difference between addition and subtraction and are trying to remember that we count backwards on the number line when completing minus sums. We are feeling confident with these calculations.
We have moved on to a new topic in Health and Wellbeing this week and are now focussing on ways to have a healthy lifestyle. We watched a short video explaining different ways we can stay healthy, which looked at factors such as eating healthy foods, drinking water, exercising, washing our hands and sleeping well. We then made a poster about this information, making sure to make these visual and eye-catching. Yesterday, we had a great time working in groups to create fitness routines before showing these to our peers. We are excited to use these routines in PE lessons.
As part of our Literacy last week, we were concentrating on the summarising strategy. We found that this strategy can be used to identify the main points of a story without giving every single detail. We read the book ‘Monster’s Inc – The Little Basket’ and used this story in pairs to create a piece of work that showed what happened at the beginning, middle and end of the book. We worked hard to build sentences along with a picture. We are continuing to try and remember capital letters, finger spaces and full stops. Have a look at some of our work!
Below are some comments from our learning this week:
BrMc, BlMc, RF, OM, SI, HG – I 100% loved doing PE with Room 5.
DT, AbS – I loved to do the skeleton with Miss Smith.
SG, QJO – I loved making up the exercises in groups for Health and Wellbeing. We wanted to run 35 laps. 
HH – I liked doing the posters about staying healthy.
IW – I liked making the posters with exercises and want to do gymnastics. 
HW – I liked doing the new sound ‘ow’.
SJ – I loved doing the giraffes to show what we can do and what we can’t do yet. 
Have a great week!

X (previously Twitter)

As we start a New Year we plan on restarting the use of X (previously Twitter) as another means of communication with our parents/carers.  We already have a lot of followers on our account but are keen to increase this and share information about events, achievements and updates from the school.  If you are not already following us, our page is @NewtonFarmPS.  To ensure the safety of our pupils any requests received will be checked by a member of staff before being accepted to ensure that only those from within the Newton Farm community have access.  To enable this to happen, could we ask that if you send a request to follow @NewtonFarmPS on X (Twitter), could you also email the school office on gw17newtonfarmoffice@glow.sch.uk informing us of the name associated with your X account and the name and stage of the child/children within the school. Please put X (Twitter) as the subject line in your email.  Any previous requests to follow have been rejected so if you are not currently following the school, we would ask that you send another request.  Any requests will be dealt with as quickly as possible.

Room 23 – 12/1/24

I hope you all had a wonderful break, we are back with a bang in Room 23!

In art we created winter scene prints 🥶

We learnt about creating a positive maths community in our class. Many of us, whether we love or dislike maths, were able to identify ways in which we can approach challenges with a different attitude. We learnt that depth is more important than speed, learning is more important than performance and best of all, mistakes are fantastic for your brain! We feel ready to take on the challenges of multiplication over the next few weeks. ➖➕🟰➗

Also special shout out to our superstar Harley. We are so excited one of our classmates is famous and made it in the paper! Read about his inspirational story in the Glasgow Times newspaper. Harley we are so proud of you ❤️ Thank you for sharing with us, how lucky are we to have you in Room 23!

Have a lovely weekend everyone!

Welcome Back! :)

Happy New Year everyone!

We have been excited to get back to school this week and begin to learn new skills and concepts this term. Today we were treated to a very special surprise, a panto in school!

L – It was brilliant.

F – The panto was a one hour show. The sisters were making fun of our school uniforms and it is not our faults.

S – Two people were very mean to Cinderella.

G – It was the story about Cinderella. It was really funny because he tried to marry a shoe.

H – The characters names were Cinderella and the Prince Charming.

R – They were very funny because Prince Charming tried to marry a shoe.

A – At the pantomime they didn’t want to share their sausage rolls.

R – The two girls weren’t letting Cinderella go to the ball.

C – The prince was about to lick the shoe.

H – The two sisters, one of them burped really loudly and it was really funny.

E – The princess lost her shoe.

L – Cinderella’s sisters were calling us names.

It was a fantastic panto and we certainly had lots of laughs.

Our Week in Room 16 08.01.24

We have had an exciting and welcoming first week back after the new year in Room 16!

We have started our new topic, which will focus on ‘all things Japan’, the children will be documenting their new knowledge and learning into group floor books as a group project, which the children will have complete and total creative control over. The children were given an introductory explorative lesson about Japan and were asked to create a cover page featuring all the things they already knew about Japan, don’t these look fabulous!

For numeracy, we have started our new topic focusing on time, the children have created a learning wall which shows visitors what we know, what we want to know, and how we will learn these skills.

Room 15’s Week

Room 15 have had an exciting week starting our new Japan topic. The pupils picked ‘topic groups’ to work in and created amazing Floor Books to store and record all their findings while learning about Japan. We had fun creating these and then learned all about Koi Fish and how they are celebrated in Japan.
