Room 24

Hi, this is room 24’s blog by E, G and C.

 

Maths

In maths we have been learning about partitioning with 3 digit numbers and 4 digit numbers. Partitioning is when you split up a number into 100’s 10’ 1’s. 

 

Reading

We are still reading Dragon Fire by Anne Forbes. But we are nearly at the end of it.

 

Writing

In writing we did black out poems. They were October/ Halloween poems and we had to take key words from the poem to make mini poems. We designed them to be spooky with pictures.

This week in Room 16

Hello from Room 16. We have had a very busy week learning lots of new things.

  • On European Languages Day we picked a country and language we wanted to research, and during ICT we got to make slideshows all about them. We designed flags for our wall.
  • In French we played a game called Monsieur X that helped us practice greetings and saying our name.
  • For maths we kept practicing our place value, rounding and sums.
  • We also continued pumpkins art like Yayoi Kusama. We painted our dots and designed geometric backgrounds.

Thanks for reading!

Lewis C and Caitlin 🙂

Room 6 Thank You for Attending Our Parents’ Night! 🌟

A huge thank you to everyone who came along to our Parents’ Night this week! Mr Allen said it was wonderful to catch up with you all and celebrate how hard we have been working this term.

If you had a chance to look around our classroom, we hope you enjoyed our new class displays! One of the displays was about the night sky and the main phases of the moon—from a new moon to a bright full moon. We put so much effort into creating our artwork and writing about how the moon appears to change shape throughout the month.

Thank you again for your continued support.

This week we’ve been learning about nouns and adjectives by playing Lucky Grammar games. Ask us about the games, they’ve been so much fun!

We promised to upload a photo of our finished Rights Charter, so check it out below!

Just before the September weekend, we managed to earn a total of 20 PROUD clouds and we chose to have a movie afternoon in our pyjamas! We voted to watch Toy Story 5 and had a great afternoon!

Room 21

For maths, we explored the world of chimney sums, partitioning and compensation – particularly focusing on addition. Everyone was fairly confident with this.

For Literacy we did some comprehension on half of chapter nineteen of our class reading book, Rooftoppers. 

On top of that we practiced our new spelling words by creating a wordsearch and using our new words in sentences. 

We learned how to create a Blackout poem and used our knowledge to create a poem based on Autumn/ Halloween theme.

Room 7 24.09.2026

Room 7 have had a wonderful week immersing ourselves in all things math in celebration of ‘Maths Week Scotland’!

We spent time looking at partitioning numbers and working on our place value knowledge. Take a look at our leaning in action…

As part of our taught writing, we are continuing with our text, ‘Man on the Moon’. This week, we focused on the use of adjectives to describe some of the cheeky aliens who hide from Bob on the moon. We started our learning by working together to create a class bank of adjectives to describe aliens. We set off around the class describing a variety of different aliens…
