In maths, some of us have been working on our addition and subtraction – including learning some other words which mean the same as add or subtract.  Meanwhile, some others have been learning times tables –  trying to learn to say our 2, 5, and 10 times tables.

Erin enjoyed the textbook exercise using her 10 times tables, while Carlos enjoyed learning more about his addition and subtraction, particularly the vocabulary used for add and subtract.

In Literacy, the Primary 3s were looking more at adjectives and trying to use them to create good descriptions.   Some of us have written stories about an alien.  We have also been thinking about our needs, what do we need to survive.

We also spent some time thinking about Miss Barr and we enjoyed making cards to send to her at this time, because we miss her so much and are hoping she makes it back to Bankton soon!

Learning Fact for Mrs Stewart:-

• ‘subtract’ and ‘find the difference’ are both ways to say take away,
• ‘total’ and ‘altogether’ are words used to tell you to add

Alfie enjoyed taking part in gymnastics in PE this week. The girls and boys from Miss Henderson’s maths class have enjoyed learning about the 6x tables! We have had fun learning about how to measure with a ruler in maths. Katie enjoyed writing about her Viking travels! We made some blop pictures in French this week as well. Mitchell had fun making the Chinese dragons and hearing a song in Chinese. We have made some fantastic Viking jewellery at the start of the week – it got very messy! We also enjoyed our taster session of handball on Tuesday! Gabriel has enjoyed improving his handwriting this week.

Over the past few weeks, P1a have been working hard in the structured play area and have enjoyed dressing up in the role play area and using their imaginations with the small world castle.  Children also enjoyed using Jack’s magic beans at the maths table – counting, ordering and making shapes.
