Room 9 – Active Maths in the Sun

For numeracy we have been learning about hundreds, tens and units which is part of Place Value. We found it tricky at first but we are now good at adding 10 and 100 to larger numbers. It has been really good learning numbers up to 1000.

With the weather being so sunny, Mr Allen decided to do active maths outside. We were split into 3 groups and we got to do different activities. One group used the base 10 materials that show 100 squares, sticks of 10 and unit cubes. The other group used different coloured disks to show hundreds, tens and units and the last group used coloured tabs.

The pictures below show some of the activities.

Magic Medallions

In Room 19 this week, we have been finishing off our dragon eye artwork. We are very pleased with the end result and can not wait to put them up on the wall.

We have also been designing medallions, based on the character Henry from our novel Dark Isle. We will hopefully be able to paint them next week.

The Creativity of Room 27!

Room 27 has been full of creativity this week!

In our imaginative writing we have been focusing on exciting openings for our stories.

We have created pictures of Roz from the Wild Robot in the style of Romero Britto.

We have been using creative spelling strategies to practise and learn our words.

In Maths, we are getting better at following and giving directions using compass points. We can link turns to angles and go clockwise and anti-clockwise. We have been creating journeys to help us practise this.

“I enjoyed our French lesson this week where we learned new greetings.” LK

“I liked narrative writing.” EG

“I enjoyed reading The Wild Robot.” AR

“I enjoyed DEAR Time.” AG

“I really liked learning about the compass points and angles.” SM

“I liked doing the Roz artwork.” HT

“I liked learning about paragraphs in Literacy.” FNQ

We hope you have also had a lovely week.

Thanks for reading our blog,

Room 27, Miss Higgins and Miss Macfarlane

Welcome

Hello Everyone,

A warm welcome from Room 16!

Each week our teacher Miss Campbell will select two people to write some of the things we have been learning about in our own words. We will also try to include some photographs!

Recently, we have been getting to know one another and revising previous learning to ensure we are confident moving forward.

Today we started our Narrative block in writing. We discussed the features of this specific genre and created mind maps to support our future planning.

Junior Road Safety Officers

September 17, 2024 by Miss Napier | 0 comments

Our two newly appointed Junior Road Safety Officers (JRSOs) had a great morning at Chatelherault Country Park today. Each year, South Lanarkshire Council hold a JRSO Open Day for pupils to network, learn about their duties and gain ideas for promoting road safety in and around our school. We’ve come away with lots of ideas and will soon be meeting with our South Lanarkshire School Travel Plan Co-ordinator to discuss our agenda for the year. Watch this space!

Room 8’s Weekly Update

Hello!

We learned lots in Room 8 last week and the children are keen to shared what they enjoyed:

JM- “I enjoyed rounding numbers to the nearest 10.”

AD- “I liked creating persuasive posters to ‘Save Wilbur’.”

MN- “I enjoyed writing book reviews of the stories we have been reading.”

ED- “I liked practicing place value and partitioning 3-digit numbers.”

CR- “I liked learning about adjectives and identifying them in sentences.”

CP- “I enjoyed doing dictation because I could see my hard work pay off.”

The whole class enjoyed our construction task which was linked to our IDL topic, Charlotte’s Web. We worked in teams to create a barn that could hold two animals and give them food and water. We were then able to present our barns to the rest of the class and explain our design choices. It was lots of fun!
