group work | St Nicholas Primary School

This week we have been very busy even though we have only been at school for 3 days!

Ellie- we designed and then made a stop and go sign. We were only allowed to use one kitchen roll tube, 4 pieces of paper or card, 1 pair of scissors and sellotape per group. After we made the sign we had to write about how we made it.

Sam – we had visitor this week to see us complete a number talks lesson.

Connor – in Numeracy we have dividing and using the chunking method and expanded method to solve sums. I like the chunking method when dividing.

Paula – we had an author visit from David McPhail. He told us about Vikings. We had the chance to buy one of his books.

Leo – we looked at Mary and coloured in some stained glass windows and thought about we think of when we think of Mary.

Ciaran – in P.E we have been doing athletics and running races. We have been sprinting and doping sprint starts.

Marwa – this week we did some reading routes and looked at punctuation. we looked at why it was important and rated the authors use of punctuation.

Mirin – with Mrs Baty we started to make scratch projects and made the characters communicate with each other.

We began our literacy work by discussing the difference between fact and opinion and sorted statements into these categories.

Our teachers put us into working groups to research a Scottish wildlife animal. Our task was to find out about their habitat, diet, social grouping, babies and talents. Primaries 5 and 7 were very kind to allow us to use their netbooks to carry out this research.

We used a notebook to record all the facts that we were learning and used these notes to create colourful and informative posters displayed that we have learned. Today we are going to present our findings to our classmates.

Elise D learned that adders have big sharp teeth.

Sophie K learned that foxes like to eat small animals and sometimes even eggs.

Cole enjoyed recording notes using the netbooks.

Sterling enjoyed making a colourful poster.
