Room 7

This week in Room 7 some people moved to silver for their fantastic literacy work. P3 were working on answering questions in sentences at reading time. P2 were doing a new book called Rice Cakes and we were finding verbs and nouns in it. P3 moved into groups, one was reading Horrid Henry and the other was reading The Hen Who Wouldn’t Give Up.

At maths time, we learned about equal groups to help us with multiplying.

At indoor gym, we have been learning gymnastics. We have been using some equipment and watching video clips of gymnastics. We watched the pommel horse, the women’s floor routines and the men’s vault at the 2012 Olympics that happened in the summer.

I’m getting better at doing the rolls – Megan

I’ve been doing better jumping higher – Zack

I got better at doing a front flip – Anna

When we were jumping I did 6 front flips – Calvin

I got better at staying on the balance beam, I never fell off it – Ross

I liked when I was jumping up on the yellow horse and jumping back down – Kerr

Today, we were doing Mackintosh’s rose design. We will colour it in tomorrow. We made our own notes about Mackintosh and we used them for our exciting writing today. We wrote an information report about his life.

Miss Torley is absolutely amazed at how well we are doing in PE, and she always looks forward to a Wednesday morning when it’s time to go to gym. She’s so proud of how well are doing and can’t believe how hard we work to get better.

Today, we were drawing Mackintosh’s rose design. We will colour it in tomorrow. We made our own notes about Charles Rennie Mackintosh and we used them for our exciting writing today. We wrote an information report about his life.

We are looking forward to World of Work week and World Book Day next week too!

At literacy time, P2 were finding nouns in our reading books. P3 did a spelling quiz and we all think we did really well. We VCOP to turn boring sentences into exciting ones. We used WOW words.

For maths, P2 learned to do chimney sums and P3 used our textbooks to learn about hundreds, tens and units chimney sums. P2 used their maths booklets too.

We learned more about Glasgow and the Coat of Arms, linked to St. Mungo. We saw a mural of St. Mungo which is painted onto the side of a building in Glasgow. We saw a new one too, of St. Mungo as a baby with his mum. We looked at more murals around Glasgow including one of Charles Rennie Mackintosh.

In gym, we started gymnastic and we learned some new moves. We learned a proper gymnastic walk, and we learned skips, strides and jumps.

I am happy about getting two weekly wonders – Colby

I really liked using the textbooks for maths – Fraser H.

I liked doing chimney sums – Megan

I liked seeing Charles Rennie Mackintosh in the big wall – Zack

I liked seeing the murals of St. Mungo and the robin – Kerr and Harris

This week in Room 7 we started learning about Glasgow. We learned that it is a city, looked at different ways to get there using Google Maps, and found out how long it would take using different methods of transport. Lots of us already knew a little about Glasgow (like the squinty bridge, Glasgow Green, The Hydro and the Clyde) and we are excited to find out more.

At the start of the week, we painted winter hats. We had to use paint and glue and lots of different resources, and we were so sensible and organised. Miss Torley was very impressed!

There were 4 new star writers today. They wrote an acrostic poem about winter. We used lots of WOW words.

We did more subtraction sums this week. P3 used their number square, and tried to add mentally by breaking numbers into hundreds, tens and units. P2 used their number lines, and are getting better every day!

I’m getting better at counting in my head – Chloe

People might get some wrong, but mistakes help you learn – Zack

We started learning about subtraction this week. Primary 3 children have revised using a number line and number square to take away. Primary 2 children used cubes to take away. Megan said “I got them right” and Rory said “I got some wrong but I got some right too. Mistakes help you learn.”

We got new jobs in class, like Munch Monitors, Board Cleaner, Resource Managers and Tech Team.

In PE, we did yoga. Everyone has really improved from the very first time we did yoga! Aston said “It was the best” and Sophie said “I like doing it because it helps you relax.”

Primary 3 chose a reading book from the library, and in class we learned about plurals. Plurals mean more than one of something. We learned to add s or es.

Today, we had 4 new star writers. These children made a big improvement and their writing was outstanding. Miss Torley will take a photo of us, and put it up later.

This afternoon, we found out that our new topic will be Glasgow!
