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.
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!
We are all really proud of Macey for winning her dancing trophies.
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.

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.
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.
On Friday 15th January 2016 we went outside to see what it would be like to be Jack Frost in the cold.
We were reading the poem ‘Jack Frost is Playing’ by Brian Patten and then we were able to write our own experiences from being outside!
Room 1 have been learning new phonemes during their Literacy time. We like to brainstorm new words, make them on our magnetic boards and use them in jumbled sentences.
