Week 2

This week our new Investigators have been announced.  They have been given their welcome packs and will be preparing to meet the children they will be working alongside on their first online call shortly.  We wish them luck in this exciting opportunity.

Our new Investigators!

We’ve started our class novel, “The Explorer,” which ties in with our Rainforest and Biodiversity topic.

We have learned about the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and have used some of the most relevant Articles to help us form our Responsible Behaviours Agreement for our class.  We plan to create a rainforest theme which we’ll share with you in time!

Any pupil wishing to represent their class in the Pupil Council had the opportunity to think about what would make them a suitable member and we’ll take a vote on this next week.

For writing this week, poems created in Week 1 were rewritten for display in class and there was a big effort with handwriting.  Well done!

Maths this week was based around problem solving activities with pupils choosing from a wide range of tasks that involved them using strategies such as trial and error, act it out and look for a pattern.  Lots of paired and cooperative group work was also needed to succeed!

Week One!

It’s been lovely to see all our pupils back this week!  The Draatsi class have been kept busy.

Last year’s P5s helped our new pupils to get to know both of their teachers by introducing them to one of their favourite games on the laptop, Blooket.  It was fast and furious fun!

They have also been looking carefully at their reflections and have drawn amazing self-portraits.  These will be displayed beside a Bio Poem they have been creating to help us get to know them better too.

They have been introduced to our class topic, Rainforests and Biodiversity and have listened to the blurb on our class novel.  The title yet has to be revealed but it’s a good one!

Time was spent thinking about our school rules – Ready, Respectful and Safe and the class worked on T Charts to help them record what this would look like and sound like in our class.

The good weather meant that we could spend time outside playing team building games together so we can get to know each other better and begin to work well, collectively, as a class.
