This week we have been learning…

“About inventions. We learned who made the telephone.” Amy
“Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone.” Ranna
“We watched Wallace and Gromit to help us to learn to be inventors.” Alex
“We learned what makes something an invention. We sorted pictures of things that have been invented and that have not. An egg and a rabbit are not inventions!” Zara
“We designed our own inventions.” Hannah
“In Maths we have been learning numbers to 1000. We were finding numbers before and after 3 digit numbers.” Miles
“We have been looking at tens numbers and counting in tens.” Spencer
“We were learning about rhyming words and we made rhyming flowers.” Niamh

We enjoyed making number lines in the playground with Mrs Jamieson. We counted in 10s or 100s and then had to guess where a number she shouted would be on our number lines.

We enjoyed listening to a rhyming story, ‘The Shark in the Dark’ and making our own rhyming flowers for our classroom display. We also looked at how some rhyming words don’t follow the same spelling pattern, e.g chair and care.

We watched some Wallace and Gromit clips about inventions and learned that inventions happen when someone has a problem or question. We thought of problems that we have and created inventions to help solve them. Mrs Gallagher created a sockinator that washes and pairs up socks so that she doesn’t end up with odd socks! 🙂

Well done to Joshua, who was pupil of the week for his detailed invention drawing and to our class dojo winners this week, Skye and Catriona.
