At the start of the week, we had a lesson from an Uddingston Grammar PE teacher. He taught us how to play Shinty and will come each Monday over the next 4 weeks so we can learn more.

We started our new topics this week too. The P6s have been studying Europe and the P7s are working with Rooms 23 and 24 to take part in the Digi-Inventors Challenge, which is a STEM project.

Last Week’s Learning – Room 7

Room 7 have been learning to spell words using the phoneme ‘ou’ (mouse). Our words included: mouse, house, ground, out, count and pounce. We used these to practise our handwriting, focusing on letter formation, including ascenders and descenders. We continued learning about instruction writing, focusing on ordering instructions using the time connectives: first, then, next, after and finally. We practised writing our own instructions using these as sentence starters.

In numeracy, we have continued to use addition and subtraction strategies and explored number families, linking addition to subtraction as inverse calculations.

We began learning about the process of making chocolate. We learned that cacao pods grow on trees in farms near the equator. Farmers split them open to empty the cacao beans and put them in the oven to roast. Once roasted, they are peeled and smashed.

Please bring your reading book to school every day.

Hope you had a great weekend. Looking forward to hearing your news!

Our week in Room 13

Hello everyone,

In Numeracy last week, we moved on to subtraction using the written method. I’m confident every child who was present in the class last week can subtract 2-digit numbers without exchanging. We have also started practising subtraction with exchanging and will continue with it this week. We also started the 5 times table whilst still recapping the 2 times table.

For Reading last week, we were focussing on our skimming and scanning skills to find which page given words were on. In Writing, we made a writing plan for our favourite season of the year which includes reasons why. This week we will write our first drafts and add persuasive openers. This week for Spelling, the Red Rabbits and Blue Birds will be consolidating their last three phonemes, and the Green Giraffes group will start their new sound. Our Grammar focus last week was on nouns by naming people, places and things.

We finished our diseases topic in Science by learning about Sir Alexander Fleming. We reflected on what we enjoyed the most about the topic which was just about unanimously learning about The Black Death. We will start our new topic on the senses this week but at the children’s request we will do a one-off lesson on the Spanish Flu in the future as well.

Our mini class topic of Robert Burns has now ended. We have enjoyed learning some Scots words and listening to some Scots poetry. We finished the topic by labelling some human body parts using Scots words such as airms, shanks and lugs etc. We will start our new topic about the Waverley this week.

Fingers crossed we will get some better weather this week and the children will get more time learning and playing outside.

Have a great week.

Kind Regards,

Mr Dalling.

Our week in Room 16 22.01.24

Another week of fun in Room 16!

In literacy we have introduced a new way of learning our phonics and tricky spelling words, spelling scrabble! We have loved using this resource to help us work out the letters and sounds in our words, we are still getting the hang of it.

In numeracy we have continued with our focus on time, exploring 10 minute time intervals and working out new times based on ‘quarter past’ and ‘quarter to’ times. We have been doing this through group games which has allowed the children to discuss their thinking with each other and support each other in any challenges they come across.

We have continued with our Japan topic by researching different regions of the country and collecting evidence in our floorbooks. We have also really challenged ourselves to draw 3D Pagoda’s for our art this week! We love how different each version is as it captures all the different Pagoda’s found around Japan. We have also introduced some Japanese into our class as attention grabbers such as “Kon’nichiwa” and “sensei”.

For PE this week we have continued with our Hockey block through group games focused on passing and receiving.

Scots Language & Robert Burns Room 9

Over the last few weeks we have been learning about the Scots Language and we have really enjoyed all the funny sounding words. Here are some of our favourites.

Mingin,
bowfin,
achin wame,
lugs,
dug,
sair

We got to explore different Scottish poems like “The Sair Finger”, A Dug a Dug and Katie Bairdie. For our writing we got to write our own version of Katie Bairdie which helped us to find out lots of new rhyming words. Here is an example of our work.

At the assembly this week we got to sing two songs in front of all the Primary 3s and 4s. Our first song was about the history of Robert Burns but we did it to the music for “Gangnam Style”, except our version was called “Dae it Rabbie Style”. The second song was about a “Greasy, Squeezy, Triple Cheesy, Bacon Roll”. Three members of the class also got to read poems on the stage.

The grown ups at home will be disappointed that they didn’t get to see our performance but we will be doing some of the assembly at the P3 Learning Showcase that will be taking place at the end of February.

Piet Mondrian Artwork

Here in Room 19 we have been making some artwork inspired by Piet Mondrian, a Dutch minimalist artist

To make a minimalist art piece like Piet Mondrian you could have primary colours and blocks of colour surrounded by thick or thin black lines. You could also use different shapes to make these blocks of colour and lines. Some of these pictures below include different shapes and shades of colours. We hope you enjoy our works of art!
