MATHS Week Scotland

This week it is Maths Week Scotland and the theme is weather! In class we have been doing lots of Maths activities linked to the weather.

Here are some Maths games for you to play at home!

P2/1 have been drawing their self portrait in class, including as much detail as possible. We followed this up with self evaluations in the Open area, where children identified what feature they liked best about their picture, and what they could improve upon. This was recorded on the ChatterPix kids app (on an iPad), enabling children to animate their picture with their voice. From the pictures below you will see that this video footage has been linked to a QR code on our displays. This will remind children of how fantastic their pictures are and how to improve them in future. We hope you enjoy the following videos, and would love to hear your feedback!

Today P2/1 tried something different at story time. We put on some trap/hip hop music in the background and rapped a story. It was tricky but fun! The children asked if we could do it again and put it on the blog so they could try it at home. Here is our second attempt.

Here is a reading challenge for you to do at home. Find a book that has a rhyming pattern that you have lying at home e.g. The Gruffalo, Rumble in the Jungle (anything that rhymes!) and read it following the beat to the hip hop track below! Give it a go. Now you are a reading rap star! 

P2/1 enjoyed learning about African animals. The children used their observational skills, sketching skills and their knowledge of symmetry to complete these animal drawings. Well done P2/1, they’re fantastic!

Grammar: a or an

How do you know when to use a or an? Well if the word that comes after starts with a consonant then we use ‘a’ e.g. a car, a horse, a shop, a pencil.  However, if a word begins with a vowel then we use ‘an’ before it e.g. an apple, an elephant, an umbrella.
