Hi All,

Have a look at what fun and interesting ways we have been learning this month! Enjoy!!!

Literacy

During November we did Grammar in a really fun way. We had to colour grammar words in to show what group they belonged to and each sheet was difficult in different ways. The sheets had different words on them which corresponded to a different grammar group like a Noun, Verb, Adjective, Adverb, Conjunction, Pronoun, Determiner and Preposition. We had to colour them in the colours and group together. There were some words that were really difficult, the strategy we did however was helpful because we would colour a few words in that we thought were the right answer and then look at the help sheet to see if we were correct.

We are going to focus on our grammar a lot more in the next few weeks and try to use some of the words we have learned in our taught writing pieces.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Numeracy

During our Number Talks lessons we have been focusing on Subtraction, our newest strategy is Place Value and Adjust. The Adjust strategy is a little harder than the rest because you have to remember to use your subtractions and addition carefully. The other strategies are Count On and Count Back which are a bit easier to work out. During our Sumdog time Mrs McGuinness puts up the leader board for us to see how many answers we have managed to get correct. The whole school enjoys Sumdog, we enjoy playing together and trying to improve our scores, skills and levels. We have even been going down to Primary 1 and 2 and helping them to get better at their Numeracy skills. 

We are going to continue to work on the Adjust strategy in subtraction so we feel more confident using it.

 

Health & Wellbeing

During Health & Wellbeing we were completing activities on Talk Talk for the schools anti-bullying day.  We drew posters about how to keep ourselves and others safe and about how to cross the road in a sensible way. Some people drew people crossing roads with the Lollipop Lady or Man, people waiting for the red man to go green and even a lady waiting for a car to drive by before crossing.

We are going to focus on continuing to feel safe in school and helping our peers around us to do the same.

 

Social Studies

During the past couple of weeks we have been focusing on our Enterprise. We have decided to make Christmas pizza pan decorations. Our company name is “Pan It”.  Our slogan is “Get it you won’t regret it” and our logo is a Santa face. We all have our own jobs to do like managing director, production, finance, design, sales, personnel and buyer. We have two jobs that we are all going to do which is design and production. We all made badges so the customers know what jobs we are doing and what our company is selling.

 

 

Thanks for stopping by, see you all next month!
