This week in Room 20 we have been reading DarkIsle by D A Nelson. One of the characters is Shona a dragon. We made dragon eye artwork using oil pastels.
We also learned about the water cycle and made lego representations to show our understanding.

On Tuesday we had the most exciting morning ever because a real Taekwondo teacher came to visit us in the gym hall! We were so surprised when we walked in and saw her wearing a white uniform with a shiny black belt. She looked just like a superhero, and she showed us how to stand up super tall and bow nicely to show respect before we started. We got to shout, Tae-Kwon-Do!
First, we had to warm up our bodies so we didn’t turn into floppy noodles. We ran around the hall as fast as cheetahs and stretched our arms right up to the ceiling. We learned that Taekwondo comes from a place called Korea
Then came the absolute best part of the morning — learning the moves! We stood in a special guard stance with our fists up near our cheeks to protect our faces. We practiced punching the air, and then punching the pad. It was so loud it sounded like a huge thunderstorm inside our gym hall!
Then we got to try Superman flying punches! The instructor held up the big, soft red pads for us to hit. We lined up, took turns running up, and punched the pads as hard as we possibly could.
We learned that Taekwondo is not for fighting or playing rough, but for being kind, brave, and respectful to everyone around us. We promised not to practise our superpower shouts during quiet reading time in class and only do the moves when we are at Taekwondo.

This week in Room 5 we have learned lots of new things. This week we focused on 3 sounds in phonics ‘oo, ee, ck’ and 4 new common words ‘are, come, of, new’. We spent time focusing on addition to 20, splitting the 10s and 1s in each number to help us to add smaller numbers to bigger numbers. For Non Number, we focused again on 2D shape and we created a poster to showcase our learning of all the shapes we have learned. The children also had a taekwondo taster session this week, and they really enjoyed learning some of the moves.
Take a look at our pictures and pupil voice below!
Pupil Voice:
Aulay: I enjoyed taekwondo this week, it was fun.
Harris: We went to the library for the first time.
Callum: We learned about 2D shapes and created shapes with magnetic tiles. The shapes had to be flat on the table.
David: We learned about the months of the year and days of the week.
Amira: We learned new sounds.
Hridhaan: I enjoyed learning how to tile with 2D shapes and making them fit together.
Lucas: I enjoyed going on the trim trail in P.E practicing our balancing skills.
Peyton: I enjoyed tiling with 2D shapes.
Kai: I liked when we did Yoga in the classroom, it was silly as it was minion yoga.
Katie: I enjoyed taekwondo.
Ayesha: I enjoyed learning about shapes.
Archie: I liked taekwondo.
Aulay: I enjoyed doing our number talks this week.
Harris: I liked playing with the lego with Archie making sand monsters.
Kai: I liked football and practicing rolling the balls and kicking them.
Shreyan: I made Godzilla with the lego.
David: I made a huge ship with the lego during play.
Lucas: We played Teacher in the role play corner, used the pretend laptop as a lesson and pretended to do colouring tasks. Peyton was the teacher.
Reminders:
Thanks

It has been another busy week in Room 23.
We continued reading our class novel Rooftoppers and created some brilliant Paris inspired pieces of art from the perspective of looking up at the Eiffel Tower.
We started looking at Place Value in maths and have been reminding ourselves that every digit within a number holds its own value.
In writing, we focussed on describing a character and created some excellent character descriptions using the ‘show not tell’ technique.

Welcome to room 11’s 2nd blog.
In Literacy, P3 have been consolidating previously learned phonemes including ‘igh’ and in P4 they have been learning new common words like ‘breakfast’.
In Maths P3 have been learning about 1s, 10s and 100s, P4 have been learning how to partition numbers to 1000.
In play, we have been using our play skills such as creativity and junk modeling.
In P.E we have been learning how to play What’s the Time Mr Wolf and Pizza Maker. How you would play is someone would be in the middle and everyone else would stand in a line and they would ask the pizza what topping can run.
Please come back next week for more!

This week, Room 7 were revising their knowledge of identifying 2D shapes and their properties.
We used a variety of materials to help us construct these shapes and worked with our peers to discuss and record their properties.
To extend our learning, we investigated the properties of some new 2D shapes – the rhombus, heptagon, octagon and trapezoid.
Take a look at our learning in action…

This week in Room 1:
– we have been working on numbers up to 5, forming them and identifying! Have a go at our fun dice and counters game with someone at home, you could use pasta if you don’t have any counters 😄
– we have been learning about alliteration, check this superstar out who matched the pictures that’s begin with the same sound.
– we learnt about life on a farm through our focus book ‘A Squash and a Squeeze’
Next week the Evening Times will be in to take a picture of primary 1 on Friday 11th. P.E. will be changed to Thursday afternoon (10th) this week. 📸
Have a lovely weekend 😄

Thanks For Reading.

What a busy and exciting week we have had in Room 4!
Primary 1 have been enjoying learning all about the farm. We read A Squish and a Squeeze and had lots of fun learning the words to Old MacDonald Had a Farm. We also discovered the names of different farm animal babies and loved acting like the animals and making their different noises!
Primary 2 have been consolidating their learning of the ‘wh’ and ‘ph’ sounds. They worked together in lots of active and engaging ways to practise their common words, developing both their reading and writing skills.
In Primary 1, we have been practising recognising, counting and forming the numbers 3, 4 and 5. The children particularly enjoyed listening to the Number Zoo stories that go along with each number.
Primary 2 have been learning all about partitioning numbers into tens and ones. They have also been exploring numbers that are more than, less than and equal to. There has been lots of fantastic mathematical thinking and discussion!
We asked the children what they have enjoyed this week, and here is what they had to say:
It has been lovely to hear about all the different things that have made the children happy and excited about their learning this week.
On Friday 11th September, a photographer from the Evening Times will be visiting us to take a Primary 1 class photograph.
We will let you know as soon as we find out when the photograph will feature in the newspaper.
Have a lovely weekend!
