We have had a busy first week back at school! On Monday we started our new Katie Morag topic. In Katie Morag and the New Pier there is a storm.  We discussed storms and wrote our own story to describe one.  We also watched half of the story Katie Morag Delivers the Mail then drew pictures to predict what would happen next.  Most of us guessed correctly that Katie Morag would deliver the parcels to the wrong people. 

 We have learned that Katie Morag lives on an island in Scotland.  During our shared start this week, we completed different Scottish activities.  We painted a Scottish flag, made a thistle collage and designed a tartan piece of clothing for a teddy bear.

 This week we explored syllables.  Isaac explained that a syllable is ‘when a word is broken into chunks.’  We completed lots of fun tasks to count syllables in words.  For example, we played a game on Education city, clapped the number of syllables in our name, completed a cut and stick and went fishing for pictures then counted the number of syllables.  We will complete more syllable activities next week.

Bye for now,
