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!

Final Term in P4

We have had a very busy couple of weeks back at school. We have started our new topic about, Ancient Greece. Using the chromebooks we researched it and wrote some facts in our IDL jotters. Afterwards we made a huge timeline for our display. We all chose our groups for our floorbooks and got to work creating the front cover. Inside we drew the timeline and then began making a page about the original olympics. We think it’s going to be a brilliant and interesting topic. Room 14 pupils are looking forward to sharing what we learn at our open afternoon in June.

Room 13 Term 4 Update

Good morning,

 

Room 13 have been working as hard as ever on our return from the Easter holidays. Here is a sample of what we have been up to:

In Writing, we have been improving a simple sentence by adding adjectives and then continuing the sentence as a story. Below is four examples of our excellent creativity.

In Spelling, we have really enjoyed using active spelling techniques such as finger spelling and spelling hangman.

In Numeracy, we have been working on 2d shape and the link between the 2, 4 and 8 times tables.

 

For Health and Wellbeing we have been linking the skills used in playground games to skills we use in the classroom. We came up with listening, imagination, teamwork, turn taking and following rules as skills we needed for both and discussed them during our nurture sharing assembly.

Yesterday we had our parents/carers in for our Learning Showcase. It was fantastic to show our adults some of the activities that we complete each week in class. We were having so much fun that we did not get any pictures!

CD – I liked the tuff tray with the division calculations.

OW – We did times tables snakes and ladders.

GO – I liked filling in the missing numbers on the missing number 100 squares. My family said that they wished they could have a shot.

This Week in Room 2!

Hello everyone,

We wanted to share with you our favourite activity this week.

“We had to listen to our partner’s instructions.” M

“We couldn’t touch the people when they were walking, we needed to say the directions to help them.” E

“We were learning to listen and to give instructions.” A

“We had to direct our partner from the class door to the outside door.” D

“We were blindfolded and couldn’t see anything, we had to listen hard.” S

We all had great fun exploring positional language and creating instructions to our friends.

Thank you for reading our blog. We hope you have a lovely weekend.
