Our Week in P2/3

Leave a comment

We have had a busy week in P2/3 this week.  In maths we have been continuing our work on using arrays and groups of to create repeated addition and multiplication sums.  We have been working out all the sums in the 2 times table.  Next week we look forward to continuing this work and developing our skills to help us share equally.

We have used our numeracy skills to help us complete a Roman timeline for our Romans topic.  We even learned that Rome was being built nearly 3000 years ago!

We are all very proud of our performers who said their poems in front of the whole school (having only had a short time to rehearse!)

Well done girls!

Our Week in P6/7

P6/7 enjoyed watching Andy and Wendy tell us all about Robert Burns.

“We particularly liked acting out Tam O Shanter.”   Andrew 

Two people from each class were selected this week to recite a Scots poem at Burns Day Assembly. Xander and Jonathon did us proud!

“It was nerve racking but we did well!” Xander

We have a new class novel linked to our World War Two topic. It’s called Billy the Kid by Michael Morpurgo. We used our class voting station to vote for this book.

“It was sad at the beginning but it’s really good.” Gary

We learned how to do sudoku this week in Maths.

“I struggled at first but then I got the hang of it.” Calan

We have also been multiplying and dividing decimals in Maths.

“It was confusing at the start but now I get it.” Emma.P

We created a timeline of the events leading up to the start of WW2. We are also keeping a floorbook of our journey through the topic.

“It took us a while to make notes about all the facts but once we had them all it was easy to sort out the order.” Findlay

Number Story Naturals in P1/2!!

2 Comments

This week, P1/2 have been showing off their addition skills! The boys and girls have been working hard finding all the different number stories of 4 and 5.  We have used lots of different strategies to help us do this like using our fingers, cubes and magnets!  We have spotted a pattern with the number stories!  Can you spot it too?  There are 3 number stories of 2, 4 number stories of 3, 5 number stories of 4 and 6 number stories of 5!  We have also been practising our money skills and have been using different coins to pay for items.  Lots of fantastic independent work has been carried out this week and Mrs Lloyd is very proud of everyone!

Thank you to all the parents who were able to attend our bitesize reading sessions this week.  It was great to have you there and the children really enjoyed showing off their skills!

Well done to all the boys and girls who stood up in front of the class and managed to say their Scottish poem this week.  Mrs Lloyd had trouble narrowing it down to four finalists – well done to Chloe, Brooklyn, Olivia and Tobi.  It was a hard decision choosing the final two people who stood up in front of the whole school at assembly to recite their poems – well done to Olivia and Tobi – you represented P1/2 really well and made us all proud.

On Thursday, we listened to the story called ‘The Disgusting Sandwich’ and used this to help us make some disgusted faces in our art work.

Finally, Mr Wedlock and Mr Evans made an appearance during maths this week when they decided to have their own number talk during independent maths work time.  Great job boys!
