We were also lucky to have a visit from Sarah’s day to talk about electricity. We enjoyed looking at and touching all of the props that he brought in. We also loved the mini windmills that he gave us.

In literacy this week we learned the sounds b, h and u. We have been trying hard to form our sounds correctly and have been blending some sounds together to read and make some simple words. We’ve also made some things that begin with each of our sounds – bats, hats and umbrellas!
In maths, we have been counting groups of objects and combining them to count how many altogether. We are getting really good at this and have been using lots of different resources to help us.
In art, we have been using a variety of media to create super seasons pictures. We are very proud of our fantastic work.
Primary Four have been lucky enough to have a visit from Sarah’s dad to talk about electricity! Sarah’s dad talked about what electricity is, how electricity is made and different types of electricity! We really enjoyed the talk about learnt lots! We loved all the demos!!
Primary 4 also won the Goblet of Good Manners this week as a bonus!
Olivia: I wrote a book review about Harry and the Bucketful of Dinosaurs in my reading passport.
Here is Caleb’s book report:
Ollie: we’ve been learning about food chains. Food chains are all the different animals that eat other things. In a food chain the arrow means ‘is eaten by’.
Conor: We’ve been sorting out animals into habitats. We put the polar bears in the Arctic, the elephants in the African Plain and the whale into the Sea.
Brooklyn: We played a game on the board and it was a quiz. We had to hold up our fingers for answer 1, 2 or 3 to vote for the right answer. The quiz was about the habitats that humans and animals live in. Humans can’t live in the Rainforest because there are poisonous animals and trees there. Humans can live on farmlands because they can get food they need from the farm animals.
Brandon: We’ve been learning some sounds: ‘ee’ and ‘oo’. We are very good at it now.
Peter Pan have been working hard to spell CVC words!
Mason: We used playdough and buttons to make sums like 5+5=10 (doubles).
Sarah and Ruaridh: We are matching the car numbers to the right word.
Caleb: We had numicon and we were adding from numbers that end in 0. We rolled one dice that went up to 90 and matched it with a normal dice that went up to 6 and added them together.
This week we completed our Human Body assessment. As a class, we were amazing at coming up with ideas to stay healthy, matching the names of bones with where they are in the body and naming some of our organs. Below are some examples of our excellent work! We also learned about how our blood travels in our body and what it does with the muscles. For writing this week we wrote about animals as characters. We had lots of fun and are starting to develop our descriptive language.
