This afternoon Room 3 had a Scottish Food Tasting afternoon to celebrate Burns. We tried haggis, neeps and tatties, Scottish oatcakes with cream cheese, smoked salmon, shortbread, tablet and Irn Bru. The haggis was very popular and all of the children really enjoyed trying new foods.
Numeracy in Room 17!
In Room 17 this week, we have been learning about fractions. We worked together to make a human fraction line to order the fractions from the smallest to the largest! 
Room 16 Time
Today in class Room 16 completed some time challenges, played a range of time games and made time posters.
Learning in Room 6!
This week we have had so much fun learning our spelling and phonics words. We used paint to practice fine motor skills and spell at the same time.
In Maths we have been learning number bonds and counting within 100. We used lots of active games and hands on practice to improve our skills.
In IDL we were researching the people who live in the Rainforest and found out that they often paint their faces or bodies during celebrations. This inspired us to make our own masks in Art.
Burns Day Celebrations in Room 10
Room 10 celebrated Burns Day by tasting haggis, neeps and tatties and finishing off the day with some delicious shortbread! Yum!!

Room 14 visited the boys and girls in Room 1 for Storytelling. We really enjoyed hearing all their imaginative stories about Barney the dinosaur!
Out of School Achievements
We are all really proud of Macey for winning her dancing trophies.
Getting Fit in Room 5!
At the start of term Room 5 created their very own new year resolution. The main theme which emerged was the desire to get fitter and healthier. As a class we have been discussing how we can do this by changing our diet and exercising more regularly. This wasn’t enough however… Room 5 wanted to make sure this was having an impact. We decided as a class to carry out a fitness test and record our scores. We will repeat this fitness test at the end of term and hopefully our scores increase! Check out some of our photos.

Room 6 Learning Update!
We have been learning all about Robert Burns in preparation for Burns Day on the 25th January. We have been learning some poems and songs and recorded our early practice of Auld Lang Syne. A special mention to Ellie M Scott and Jack Montgomery who did outstanding singing during these lessons.
Due to lots of other school events we took our gym lesson back to the classroom and did some good old fashioned circuit training. With a combination of Jumping Jacks, Lunges, Sit Ups and Aerobics we are continuing to work on becoming healthier and fitter individuals.
In IDL we have been exploring food chains and writing captions. In Literacy here are some examples of our dictation practice with a partner.
Cloud in a Cup!
Room 2 have been learning about the weather. This week we have been learning about the rain and clouds. We enjoyed carrying out our cloud in a cup experiment.
