We have been very busy this week…in phonics we have been learning ‘oy’ and ‘ang’ and our new tricky words are does and goes.  In numeracy we are counting and ordering to 20/100.  We have been looking at repeating shape and colour patterns. In topic we have been learning about where food comes from before it gets to the supermarket – is it a plant or an animal.

This week in P2A we have been trying to be more considerate when sharing and taking turns.  We have been very friendly and we thank Miss Knight for helping us with all of our work this week.

We have started to learn about adjectives and we are trying hard to make our writing more detailed using great describing words.

It was Shared Start this week, thank you to all of the parents who joined us for the Growth Mindset topic.

We learned a little bit about our rights through our review jotter targets and we learned that we are very lucky to have Children’s Rights and have choices, as not all children in the world have them.

Reminder that Sport’s Day is on Wednesday (weather permitting) at 10.30.  We hope to see you there 🙂

Celebrating Success

Here are the recipients of our celebrating success awards-

Suvi – Head Teachers Award

Megan- School Values Award

William- Effort and Improvement Award

Maths/Numeracy

We continue to work hard developing our numeracy skills each week. We are all feeling much more confident using fractions. We can find a fraction of an amount and we also know what the term ‘equivalent fraction’ means and how to identify them.

Literacy

We have been using our knowledge of poetry to move from non rhyming verse to one that rhymes. Here are a few examples –

My Friend by Suvi

I have a friend his name is Mike

He loves to go on a mountain bike

I have a friend her name is Nancy

For prom she loves to dress up fancy

I have a friend his name is Ben

My Friend by Euan

I have a friend his name is Peter

He is always a big big eater

I have a friend her name is Jane

She always is a great big pain

I have a friend her name is Lily

She runs around looking silly.

That’s all for now, have a great weekend in the sun!

P6 had a great day at the Science centre this week. We enjoyed exploring the activities on each floor and taking part in a human body workshop. Here are some of our reflections from the day:

Naomi: I enjoyed the hamster wheel; you needed to create enough energy by running to power lights.

Eva: I enjoyed the slanted room because it was really fun!

Lennox: I liked the human body show, my favourite part was the fire explosion at the end.

Tom: I enjoyed the planetarium. You could use the computer to zoom on space photos.

We have enjoyed working on our team working skills this week by playing board games. We have been working on listening to each other and problem solving.

We all enjoyed performing at celebrating success this week too! Well done to those who were awarded a certificate.
