  2. Continued learning about directional language, including using a compass to write and follow instructions.

 

3.  Started to learn our songs for the Christmas Concert- it will be here before we know it!!

Room 19

Thank you to Elise, Indi and Lucy for this week’s post.

We have been improving our writing by doing IOW. This includes fragments, scrambled sentences, run ons and independent clauses. We  have been loving it.   

We have also been revising about time such as half past, quarter past and o’clock as well as reading time we can also make our own.

We have been debating with each other about the Prodigal Son.  We were talking about if the son should have left his home and went on an adventure or stay at home and work on his father’s farm.

For Monday gym we do badminton and on Fridays we do football.  We have been getting better at passing and dribbling.  Most of the class have been really getting the hang of it.

We have been learning about Peit Mondrian and August Rodin in our European topic.  

 

Have a lovely weekend and we look forward to welcoming visitors to our Learning Showcase on Thursday 20th November at 1:40pm.

Autumn Art

A little while ago, we discussed a very, big question in Room 2 – “What Makes the World Wonderful?”. We had fantastic answers such as fireworks, God, Rainbows, Schools, People and Nice Autumn Leaves.

We have spoken and read books all about the changes that we see in Autumn so we decided to create lovely Autumn art. We used different materials such as our fingers, cotton wool, sponges and cotton buds to create the illusion of Autumn leaves. We can’t wait to display our pictures on our ‘Being Me’ squares in class.

Next week, we will be celebrating Book Week Scotland. We would like to invite our parents/families into our class on Monday 17th November at 2pm to enjoy some reading time with us. We are also being gifted fabulous Bookbug bags filled with lots of great goodies! We can’t wait to see you then.

Room 1 – 7.11.25

This week in Room 1 we:

– have been learning to add numbers together and write out addition calculations ➕

– wrote about watching the fireworks using our senses to help us describe the fireworks

– continued working on our big question “What Makes the World Wonderful?”. The children wanted to know: “What makes a rainbow?” and “Why are flowers colourful?” We carried out experiments to learn about the colours in the rainbow and investigate flowers 🔬

We are continuing to rehearse for our Nativity. We will be sending home lines in homework packs on Wednesday.

Have a lovely long weekend, see you all on Tuesday ☺️

Room 6 – Firework Pictures

Another super week in Room 6. This week we were learning a lot about firework safety. For our writing we wrote a list of instructions that will help people to use sparklers correctly. This really helped us for Bonfire Night.

Our class love doing art so we managed to make Firework pictures this week as well. First we had to draw buildings with white chalk and then we used yellow chalk to show the lights through the windows. Finally we used different colours to make the fireworks. As we had black paper, we had to make sure we used bright colours with the chalk.
