Literacy:  In reading, we have been working on identifying and stating facts and opinions.  We know that facts are something that is known to be true and can be proved.  An opinion is  what someone believes and it has no proof.

In Grammar we have worked on question marks;  identifying and writing questions and statements.

In numeracy we have worked on the vertical written method of subtraction with exchange.  Some of us have continued to work on subtraction facts within 20.

For art, we have created a water background display (wax resist) for our fish that we will make next week from our bottles.

It was Shrove Tuesday this week and we were delighted to be able to make and eat pancakes that day.   So the next day, we modelled a piece of Procedure Text on How to Make Pancakes.

It was World Book Day on Thursday 3.3.22.  We went on a character hunt around the school.  We found lots of characters:  Thomas the Tank Engine;  Peter Rabbit;  Charlie and Lola and Zog (and more).   We then found out what the Kingsland Staff’s favourite books were by opening videos and pictures, a collection produced by Mrs McGilp,   Mrs Scott’s childhood favourite books were Enid Blyton’s Famous Five.   Mrs Hope’s favourite books were the The Day the Crayons Quit and the Day the Crayons came home.  Mrs Franklyn Rae’s favourite book was Manfred the Baddie.  We brought in our own favourite books to read and/or draw our own inspired front cover.

In collaborative group work we worked on the skill Talking in Quiet Voices and played Chinese Whispers.

We also had a chance to finish our Mapwork of the United Kingdom and Scotland.
