Week beginning Monday 2nd December 2013
On Monday we did our new spelling words and we had to practice our words. We also went to our dance practice, we have already learned three dances; the dances are The Gay Gordon, Canadian Barn Dance and Dashing White Sergeant.
In maths the squares were looking at new vocabulary related to money and they looked at addition with money using decimal points. The circles had to work out if they could afford certain items.
In literacy the Burns did an individual read and visualisation of Sam. The Williams used inference and had an individual read. Kindley were working with Miss McGregor to read the end of their book.
In the afternoon we completed a TASC wheel activity to create our own Christmas decorations and one group got to make a decoration for the top of the Christmas tree.
On Tuesday we had our stage assembly in the morning where we had to design a Christmas card and then they would shrink it down. We also practiced some Christmas songs. In literacy everybody finished their books and we all completed our tasks from yesterday. In numeracy we did gimme 5. We also looked at how to spend money in different ways. At the end of the day we made Christmas decorations for the class room there was different types of decorations to make.
On Wednesday we had our Scottish dancing, the girls choose the boys this time. We also had literacy where we made visualisers and listed the main points of our books. We have all finished our reading books this week. We have been doing some of our work on the I pads!
Christmas is coming up so we have a Christmas tree in our class and two advent calendars! We all got to put a decoration on the tree and hang our decorations that we made around the class.
We all have committees to work in on Wednesday afternoons; there is JRSO and global learning, media busters, healthy food group and Eco. After committees we made black and white symmetrical snowman pictures, they look great up on our class wall.
On Thursday we had Mrs Kyle in class. In the morning we had a dance practice and we got to look at some road safety equipment with Mrs Allan. Today we also have Gaelic with Mr Furlong. In literacy we made visualisers of our whole book. In the afternoon we looked at what we have learned from our topic ‘The water cycle’, it was interesting to see what all the children in the class remembered about the water cycle.
