Our week in Room 16

Written by Room 16:

Hello and welcome to Room 16’s blog. For PE we have been playing rounders, practising our running, teamwork, batting, and catching.

For maths we have been practising equivalent fractions through daily 10 challenges, and using our right angle finders to find 90 degree right angles outside, we managed to find over 100!

In literacy, we have been replacing the e and adding the ‘ing’ into different words for our spelling rule. We also focused on inference through an Ancient Greece comprehension task. We also wrote letters to an Ancient Greek friend to ask them questions and let them know all about the different technologies we have today.

We have started a new topic, Ancient Greece, we are so excited to learn about all the different gods and goddesses such as Zeus, Poseidon, Athena, Aphrodite, Plato, Hades and others!

 

Thank you for reading our blog, have a nice weekend and bank holiday!

Room 14 – Sharing Assemblies

This year we have led several assemblies. In January, we led the Scottish Assembly. We have also participated in leading several Nurture Assemblies with our most recent being about how learning is understood developmentally. For this we worked in groups to make posters showing how some children might learn at different ages. We showed our posters at assembly and told everyone that we all learn at different stages depending on when we are ready. This week we led the Assembly by telling everyone in P3 and P4 about our new topic. We told the pupils that we planned the topic ourselves and even created a list of home learning ideas. We thought of a mixture of fun ways to learn about Ancient Greece. At the Assembly, Keeva and TJ held up the huge timeline we made about important events that occured during Ancient Greek times. We also held up the floor books we began in groups and invited all P3 and P4 classes to come along to our room to learn from us in June.

Amber – I felt nervous but excited before talking in front of everyone. I think I did really well and was proud of myself. Miss Campbell said I was super clear.

Harry J – I felt nervous but I remembered what I had to say and managed to use a loud voice.

Lucy – I felt confident so I volunteered to talk.

Amy – My heart was racing but I managed to tell everyone about the impact the Greeks have had on modern society.

Sophie – I was nervous but Mrs McCann said I could do it and she believed in me.

Ellie – I like talking at Assembly so I was excited.

Room 8

Happy Tuesday everyone!

Firstly, I would to say a massive thank you to everyone who managed to come along to our showcase last week. The boys and girls have worked really hard and we hope you enjoyed the experience.

Since then we have been working hard on some new learning.                                                              In maths we are learning about fractions and division.   For writing we are learning of adverbs and plurals this week.

On Friday we enjoyed sharing our nurture learning at assembly. We loved getting to show the rest of the classes our ‘tick tick boom 💥’ game.

Home learning will resume this week. Although, it will be handed out on a Friday and should be returned on the Thursday. (Thursday is when most children were returning it) 😊


Room 8 will be working with the Active School coaches on a Friday. They have had two sessions so far and loved it. School coaches on a Friday. They have had two sessions so far and loved it.The children will be working on their fitness, turn taking and team work skills during these sessions.

Target 🎯- Our current target is to improve our spelling accuracy of our common words. Any additional revision of these would be great.

Thank you for your continued support.

Euromix and Our Showcase 🚚🌟

Room 6 had a very busy day last Thursday. We were lucky to get a chance to visit Euromix, a company that makes mortar that is used to build houses, schools and other buildings. We learned that this company even helped build our school and some houses in our area.
We had a fantastic morning learning all about how to stay safe on building sites and the road. The workers did some quizzes with us all about staying safe around big lorries and trucks and we also played some fun games about stopping distances. This helped us learn how far away we had to be from large vehicles so we can stay safe. Our favourite part was when we got a shot of tooting the horn in the truck and playing the games! It was a super morning. We were so lucky to also all get a high visibility vest and goody bag each to take away with us too.
When we got back to school, we had our class showcase in the afternoon. We would like to thank all of the family members that were able to attend. We loved showing you around our classroom and practising our learning activities with you!
