After school club

This week we  started back to Lego club on a Wednesday afternoon, Allister Duncan has continued to volunteer to help with the Lego club for his Silver Duke of Edinburgh Award that he is taking part in for 423(Speyside)DF Air cadets. Also we are lucky this term to have Ashleigh Duncan who has also volunteered to run a craft activity along side the Lego club, she also is working towards her Bronze Duke of Edinburgh Award for the 423(Speyside)DF Air cadets.

This week the children were doing some origami and also making loombands. The boys on the other hand took the oppertunity to play some Lego games.  The children are able to use their imagination in these activities  and suggest what activities they would like to do in the future.

Reflections for Term 3 week 3

Jade P1

I am learning about measure with gingerbread men. We put them to the bottom of the paper to find the tallest to shortest. I was really good at this. 

I have been learning my numbers 1-5 and I am finding this tricky as I forget where the numbers go sometimes.

My next step is to work on recognise where the numbers go on a number line, without any help.

 

Tilly P2

I was learning actions for ‘The Duck in hat’. I was learning about full stops, exclamation marks and question marks as well as the words.

I was working independently on a initial sound task and took it a step further by trying to spell each word.

I went outside with Mrs. Lawson and we were looking for tracks in the snow. I found a hole and I think it was a vole’s house. I also rabbit prints and rabbit dung. The snow made it easy to follow the tracks. I have also taken photos of robins and the sparrows in the school garden.

 

Iona P3

I was learning to measure. I cut out five gingerbread men. I had to estimate the tallest gingerbread man. I estimated sixteen centimetres , I was pretty close as it was fourteen centimetres.

I was acting out the actions for a book called ‘The duck in the hat’ I am getting on a lot better. Soon I can write it out in my book. It was awesome.

We talked a lot about the use of full stops, commas, question marks and exclamation marks and added them to our actions so that we can use accurate punctuation in my story. We talked about the rule for using a/an and revised nouns and then went on to discuss verbs.

 

Kole P5

In math’s I am really proud of my work. Today I knew the difference between meters and centimetres 1m = 100cm 1/2m = 50cm 1/4m = 25cm.

I was learning to retell a story using actions. We talked a lot about full stops, commas and question marks. We also talked about when to use ‘a’ or ‘an’.

 In discursive writing we had a discussion about TV. We gave everyone a chance to have their opinion. I was being a responsible citizen by developing an informed view by taking on board what everyone said . I found that my views are not always the same as everyone else.

 

Fraser P6

In discursive writing we had a really good discussion. Everyone took turns and we all had a chance to share our points of view. I agreed and disagreed and also able to back up my statement with evidence. I am finding that I like discursive writing and I am inspired by Mrs Duncan to start a debate club.

 I was doing revision on converting meters and centimeters and vice versa. I found it quite tricky but then I asked for help and now I feel more confident doing them.

 Miss Smith was showing us our topic. It looks really cool . I cant wait to get started.

 

James P7

I was reading ‘ The duck in the hat’ and was acting out the story. This is helping with my punctuation as I want to get better at my full stops.

In art I was doing some sketching of a cloud and I finished it in 5 mins. Then I got to sketch a helicopter and also finished my flower picture.

  In discursive writing we were doing it about TV. We needed to write 3 for paragraphs for and 3 against. I want to do more of this as I want to get better as it is still a bit hard. I learnt that peoples opinion is a lot different to mine as I thought we would be on the same page for this activity.
