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.

Chloe: today we were movie stars. We were filmed doing super maths.

Logan: we made number bond chains by adding 2 chains together and we wrote the sum on the chain.

Well done to P2/3 for being fantastic super stars when West Lothian Council were filming us today for the COSLA awards.

Caleb: we read ‘Bumpus Jumpus Dinosaurumpus’ and we wrote our own poems to finish the story.

Brooklyn: we coloured in dinosaurs from the Dinosaurumpus story. Some were colourful and some had zig zags on them.

Taiba: we painted a large T-rex and Brachiosaurus for our dinosaur wall.

Conor: we wrote a book review about a book from our library.

Connor: We were spelling out our words and we wrote them on the boards. I spelt cat, mat, man and mum.

Maths:

Amy: In Number talks, we’ve been learning about the missing number. We had to work out how many beads are hiding under the box.

Ruaridh: we’ve been practising our bunny ears to show fast facts to 10.

Caleb: we painted our fingers and had to print it on the piano. We were making a pattern and had to match the numbers to the right colour.

Social studies:

Logan and Connor H: We were learning to sort dinosaurs into carnivores, herbivores and omnivores.

Roxanne: We’ve been learning that a T-Rex eats meat and that is called a carnivore.

P.E:

Sarah: I enjoy the monsters inc warm up in P.E.

Tobi: we have been practising our basketball skills in P.E.

Olivia: we had to bend our knees to put the basketball in the net. You have to look at the hoop so you can aim.

Michael: you need to aim for the box on the backboard.

For Scottish Maths week we have been learning lots about numbers and sorting:

Neve: I’ve learnt that 6+4=10 in Number Talks.

Olivia: I’ve been practising my number bonds during Number Talks.

Logan: I learnt how to sort the emojis into groups.

Chloe: I learnt to make patterns with the shapes. We had to think about how to sort them by shapes and colours.

We’ve been reading James and the Giant Peach as our class Novel:

Roxanne: I’ve been learning about James and the Giant Peach. Aunt Sponge and Aunt spiker are rude and one is fat and the other is skinny.

For Roald Dahl day we read ‘The Enormous Crocodile’. We wrote words to describe the crocodile and painted crocodiles. We dipped objects in paint and used them to print shapes onto the crocodile. Well done to Conor M for speaking at the whole school assembly about our Roald Dahl activities.

What else have we learnt?

Conor M: This week we’ve learning ‘sh’ and ‘ch’. We sorted ‘sh’ and ‘ch’ words into groups.

Amy: We’ve been learning how to write small ‘o’ and capital ‘O’ for handwriting. We had to do peer assessments to vote for the best ‘o’ in our peer’s work.

Taiba: We learnt about carnivores, herbivores and omnivores for our Dinosaur topic.

Ollie: I’ve learnt that in school you always have to try on everything; maths, number talks and reading. We always have to keep on trying.
