As we are learning about the work of the Emergency Services this week, we changed one of our outdoor warm up games to include some moves associated with the fire, police and ambulance services. Can you tell what we are demonstrating? We were increasing our stamina, fitness and recovery times- thinking about the fitness tests that Emergency Services recruits have to take and pass!

Today we were revising how to round to the nearest 10 and 100,

We were given our homework jotter and card with our Teams and Activelearn password. Please keep the card somewhere safe !

We were thinking of our particular skills and talents for our work “All about me”. When we were outside we chose one move to demonstrate one of our skills or talents. Can you guess what each one represents?

Have a great weekend, everyone ! 😁

Today we were practising our numbers to 20 in French by playing Lotto! We were also thinking about our learning in Place Value and competing our McWoodlands Burger to reflect on what we are doing well and what our next steps would be.

Today we did some meditation using Mrs McMillan’s Take a Moment video- a special place. We also sequenced instructions to make fairy cakes and this afternoon we were able to enjoy eating some!

We enjoyed using a copy of our shared text today. It was useful to look for evidence in the story.

Today we walked a mile around the school as part of the MacMillan fundraiser. In our writing today, we learnt how to make an origami teacup and we carried these with us as a link to the coffee morning that we would usually have.

We also finished off our lions’ manes today- don’t they look great?

Have a well-earned break and enjoy your long weekend, everyone !

This afternoon we started a mixed piece so artwork to link in with our climate zone topic. We are focusing on the elements of a lion’s face using a 3d effect for the mane.

Today we were learning about where different animals come from in the world and we were linking the information to our climate zone work.

For this week’s class homework please read Chapter 4 of Escape from Black Mountain on Activelearn. There are also independent texts on Bug Club for you to read too, if you’re not already reading a book at home. Please carry on playing the number games on Activelearn and Sumdog too!

Any homework information from Miss Ferguson will be posted on the main blog as well as on our class blog.

I hope that you enjoyed looking at our classroom and hearing about our learning and teaching in the video.

Today we have been learning more about verbs, which we revised yesterday with Mrs Davidson. We have started to learn about negative numbers and where we can see them used in real life.

If you can discover any other uses and examples of negative numbers in real life, please let me know next week.

Have a brilliant weekend!!
