Last week Room 6 completed their interdisciplinary topic on Burns by having a Burns Supper and Scottish food tasting session.
The children tasted a range of Scottish foods including Haggis, neeps and tatties, tablet, shortbread, oatcakes and smoked salmon all washed down with a wee dram (of Irn Bru). The children recorded which of the foods they enjoyed and those they disliked. There was singing, dancing and a cheers to Robert Burns!
We are learning how to hold the stick, dribble the puck and shoot. The children are also learning to find their comfortable body position bending their knees and using the stick. They are loving it!
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.
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! 
Today in class Room 16 completed some time challenges, played a range of time games and made time posters.
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.
