Awesome Olympics in Room 2!

Hello everyone,

We are really enjoying learning about the Olympic Games.

“I like doing the sports and I like making the fire for the torches.” E

This afternoon we were discussing the opening ceremony. We crafted Olympic torches that we will display before our own mini Olympics.

“We made the torches from toilet rolls, paint, tissue paper and pens.” J

“We had to be creative!” A

“We used tape to stick the tubes together.” A

“We worked with a partner to make the torches.” E

Have a look at some of our fabulous designs below.

Toys 🐻🚗🎠

Last week, Room 6 got their thinking caps on and were set with an exciting task during our topic time. Working in groups, we were given the challenge of designing a new toy.

To begin, we looked at all of the toys we have brought in from home and did a walk round in the classroom, before discussing what made our toys likeable and appealing to children. We spoke about the materials used to build our different toys, as well as the use of colour and the features have.

Following this, we got into groups and set to work designing a new toy that we could share with our peers. When planning this, we had to think about things such as what the toy would look like, what it could do, the price we would sell it for and the age our target audience would be. We have had fun working together to come up with different ideas and have started creating our posters to share. We will add some photos in next week’s post to show our finished designs!

Best Buddies

Well done to all the Room 19 children who completed their buddy training this week. They have all received their completion certificate and have designed a pencil case to give to their assigned Primary 1.

They are all very excited to meet the Primary 1s next week and put all their training into action. I am sure they will all make fantastic buddies.

Room 5 Update! :-)

It was a short but fun week in Room 5. Here is a little update,

HL – We have been learning a new sound – ‘mb’.

GO – We have been learning new lines for art. Then we went on our whiteboards and drew them when we watched the C-Touch. Then we drew around our hand and drew the lines behind it without colouring the hands.

LC – Our new topic is ‘Toys’. We did a still life picture of our toys. We all did it in our class and it was fun. I was Star Reader today and I got a token for the vending machine to get a book.

JD – We were playing BINGO today and I won a game.

RC – Today we were learning about coins. We put one of the coins under the sheet of the paper and then we used a crayon to go over it and then we had to write which coin it was.
