A Brilliant Book Week in Room 2

Hello everyone,

This week we have been busy celebrating Book Week in our class and across our school.

On Monday, lots of our adults joined us in Room 2 to open our Book Bug bags and enjoy our new stories with us.

We had a special visit today from Mrs Rae who was our ‘Mystery Reader’ who read us lots of funny stories.

We enjoyed having our soft toy friends and blankets with us to snuggle up and enjoy our reading books and books from our library.

We have also enjoyed exploring a variety of book genres and learning new words that we’ve came across as we’ve been reading.

Have a look at a snapshot from our week.

tinned fruit, UHT milk, tinned soup, tinned vegetables, tinned tomatoes, tinned meat, rice pudding, custard, coffee, biscuits, sugar, cereals, pasta sauce, tinned fish, pasta, rice, jam, diluting juice

We will be collecting items during the Nativities and Christmas shows. There will be a designated area for you to drop off.

We really appreciate your support with this.

Every donation helps!

Our week in Room 7

In Room 7, we have been learning to spell words using the phoneme ‘au’. Our words included: sauce, pause, August, haul and vault. We used these to practise our handwriting, focussing on letter formation, including ascenders and descenders. We used what we have previously learned to write an information text on ‘Dogs’. We wrote facts in sentences and included a title and sub-titles in our writing.
In numeracy, we have been counting to 100 in ones, twos, fives and tens. We have been revising our number facts to 11, 12 and 13.
We have discussed different types of communication, these included: Makaton, sign language, writing, talking, body language and facial expressions.
In P.E. we were learning to pass and catch a rugby ball. With Miss Finch, we did some gymnastics and in French, we made Christmas bookmarks. Children from Room 27, came to read with us for Book Week.
The whole school has been celebrating ‘Book Week’. We brought in teddies, blankets and pillows/cushions to help us get comfy during DEAR Time.
We have also enjoyed practising our Christmas songs.

Book week in room 8!

This week in room 8 we have had a blast celebrating book week!

We had a shared read with Miss Kennedy’s class which we all loved.  We discussed our favourite books and shared what we liked about the book.

We are currently reading ‘Fantastic Mr Fox’ as a class and are enjoying the anticipation of finding out whether the farmers catch the fox.

” Our favourite time was BEAR time when we got to read with our blankets and teddies.” Esme and Maisie

Primary 2/3 would also like to thank you for coming to visit this week and share some stories with us. It is always nice to have visitors.

In maths we are learning how to measure and the vocabulary associated with measure.

Today we used cubes to measure the height of our water bottles and recorded the information in the form of a bar graph.

Ask me about the story I’m writing in class.  It is about a fantastic fox. (primary 2/3 boys and girls)

Keep watch for Mrs Kerr’s post of photos later.

Happy Friday and have a lovely weekend.  Thank you for your continued support.

Esme P3 and Maisie P2.

Dream Team Room 17

We have done a lot this week come and see.

We have been learning about volcanoes because our topic is natural disasters. Did you know? The ring of fire is the area with the most volcanoes in the world and a lot of them are underwater. We were learning our facts by improving our listening and research skills.

Come back next week to find out more.
