This has been a quick and exciting week!

In literacy, we have looked at other ways in which sentences can end. We can identify which sentences just use a full stop, which ones are a question and which ones need an exclamation mark. We have also been learning to write letters. This was quite tricky as we had lots of things to think about. We had to think about why we were writing, what we wanted to know and say, the layout of the letter and how to write in paragraphs.

In maths, we have been extending our knowledge of place value by ordering numbers and counting in tens and hundreds. We also looked at lines of symmetry. We used what we learned about this to create symmetrical butterflies in art.

In topic, we learned about the different types of houses that people live in and where we would find them in our Town. We have begun planning our own towns.

This week we also had a chance to participate in Drama which was provided by Firefly Arts. We had lots of fun playing a game called ‘Pressure’, making shapes with letter sounds and singing.

On Monday, we are looking forward to our trip around Bathgate. Please remember to wear something warm, waterproof and comfy shoes which are good for walking in.

(Parents who said they could accompany us on our trip on Monday, can you please come to reception for 1:20pm? Thank you!)

Have a great weekend!
