Tuesday

We did French and we had to learn how to order a table and our food so we had 5 minutes to practise and if you wanted you and your group could go up in front of everyone and perform your french.

In maths we did place value with high numbers all the way up to millions.

We also had to round the numbers up to the nearest hundreds,thousands,ten thousand,hundred thousands and a million.

Creative Room 20

This week in Room 20 we were looking at condensation as part of the water cycle. We tried an experiment to create a cloud in a jar – some groups worked better than others. We decided that the water was not hot enough.

We have also made clay medallions. just like Henry the medallion in the novel we are reading.

Room 4

This week in P1/2, our main focus has been all about food! We loved reading the story The Very Hungry Caterpillar together.

On Tuesday, we had a fantastic food tasting session. The children got to taste some of the foods from the story: apple, pear, plum, strawberry, oranges, a pickle, Swiss cheese, salami, a cupcake and a rocket leaf.

We had a great time using our senses. The children talked about what each food smelled like, what it felt like, and used brilliant words to describe how they tasted.

We are so proud of everyone, especially the children who were very brave and tried some foods they had never eaten before! Well done, P1/2!

Some of the childrens favourite foods:

MW – ‘I liked the strawberry.’

MM – ‘I liked the cupcake,’

EF – ‘I liked the leaf.’

NP – ‘I liked the apple.’

HT – “I liked the salami.”

NN – “I liked the leaf.”

SK – “My favourite food was the strawberry.”

LP – “I liked all of the food!”

HB – “I liked the salami”

CR – “I liked the cupcake.”

Have a great weekend,

Mrs Bryden

Room 3

A very busy week in Room 3!

In Literacy, we have been continuing to practise our rhyming and syllable skills. We have been listening carefully to words, identifying words that rhyme and clapping out the syllables in different words.

We have also begun learning about alliteration. The children have been enjoying listening for words that begin with the same sound. We have had lots of fun playing with sounds and words!

In Maths, we have been consolidating our understanding of numbers to 5. We have been practising counting, recognising numbers and number formation.

We have also been exploring colour patterns, creating and continuing simple repeating patterns. Alongside this, we have started learning about 3D shapes, investigating their names and features and looking at where we can spot them in our everyday environment.

We have also been working together to create our class charter. We have been thinking about how we want our classroom to feel and how we can make sure everyone feels safe and happy.

The children have been sharing their ideas about how we should treat one another.

I hope you have a lovely weekend

Bonjour Parents! Look What We Did in Room 6!

This week, we have been super busy learning our colours in French! It was so much fun and we can’t wait to tell you all about it.

🔎 Our Great French Colour Hunt!

Our classroom turned into a big French puzzle! Our teacher put up signs with French colour words written on them all around the room.

We had to become French detectives! We worked in pairs to find objects in our classroom and match them to the correct French sign:

We matched a red brick to rouge!
We put a blue crayon beside bleu!
We found a yellow book for jaune!
We matched a green toy to vert!

We also matched things with marron (brown), noir (black), and violet (purple)!

🗣️ What We Liked Best

We loved hunting around the room and trying to say the words in our best French voices. Some of the words sound very fancy!

We were really good at working together, helping our friends if they got stuck, and checking that our objects matched the right signs.

Room 5

This week in Room 5 we have been learning lots of new things. We had the Chromebooks on Monday and we explored how to type on a google doc, practicing our spelling of our phonemes for this week which were ‘oy’ for toy, and ‘ai’ for rain. The IPads were also out to get us used to navigating mathletics for some maths tasks, and bug club for reading. This week we focused on Subtraction for numeracy, and learned how to take smaller numbers away from 10, next week we will extend this to 20 and beyond for a challenge. In P.E with Miss Livingstone we are focusing on our balance skills, and navigating different challenges so we used the trim trail to help us practice balancing on different objects. Mrs Sheed took us for outdoor P.E and we learned different skills on the pitch. She also taught us about being kind to animals as part of our RME focus.

Pupil Voice:

Callum: Today we have learned about 3D shapes, I enjoyed it and I got to play with them.

Harris: Archie and I made a sand monster from the moon.

Kai: I enjoyed learning on the Chromebooks and typing my spelling words.

Ayesha: I enjoyed running around the pitch for our warm up. It was so fun.

Amira: I enjoyed the Chromebook task which was spelling on a google doc.

Shreyan: I enjoyed using a 10 frame to represent numbers to 100.

Lucas: I also enjoyed using the 10 frames.

Kai: I made 100 with the number frames.

Aulay: At the 10 frames we made 140, i used 14 ten frames. #

Lucia: Peyton and I made 100 with the 10 frames and used 10.

David: I enjoyed the 10 frame task.

Amira: I enjoyed bug club on the ipad.

Aulay: At the Ipads, I enjoyed our Mathletics maths task and reading books on bug club.

Callum: I enjoyed the blue task, focusing on the different phonemes we have been learning about.

Peyton: I liked doing the yellow task, looking and investigating 3D shapes.

Aulay: D in 3D shape stands for dimensional.

Reminders:

Indoor P.E- Wednesday

Outdoor P.E – Thursday PLEASE bring a waterproof jacket.

Library- We visit the school library every Thursday. Please bring books back for then so children can bring a new one home.

Homework will begin after September Weekend. Homework will be issued via parents portal, the same method as last year. We hope to transition to google classroom at some point, once the children are familiar with using it in class. They will be issued with a poly pocket on Thursday 1st October, which will contain their log in for Bug Club and Mathletics. Tasks for reading and maths will be available every Thursday to fit in with clubs etc. Spelling homework can be completed in any way that you see fit at home, and words will be issued on Parents Portal. I will check homework and upload it on a Thursday.

Our blog next week will be updated on Wednesday, we love looking at all your comments and the children love to share their pictures.
