P5/6 Learning Update
This week we used our ICT skills to email Mrs Gallagher our learning reflections for the blog. Here are some of our comments:
This week in Mrs Johnston’s class we have been learning how to use paragraphs and where to use them. In spelling we have been doing syllable jumps, Mrs Johnston played down tape with the number 1, 2, 3, and 4 and we jump how many syllables are in each of our words. Nethuki
I have been learning about a lot of animals and time. In maths i was learning about graphs. Daniel
I liked learning about the Song of the Sky and the Sand and the maths .

This week in Mrs Johnston’s, we have been learning about when to take a new paragraph in grammar. In numeracy, we have been talking about what kind of strategies we can use to help us with our learning. And in spelling we have been learning about syllables by using our spelling words and jumping how many syllables they have. π Lucy
P3/4 Rocket
P3/4 have been busy creating their own rockets.Β We worked as part of aΒ group to create our own logo and design our rocket.Β We decided on the materials that we thought would work well.Β We evaluated our designs and adapted them as we needed to during the design stage.Β The rockets are displayed in our class and we will present them to the other groups.
Woodland Settings
We added a snowstorm during the last art lesson to make our woodland settings. Pupils were more independent as they mixed the ingredients to make and add the snow.
Woodland Setting
Pupils added ‘mud’ to their woodland setting to match with the story ‘We’re going on a bear hunt’. They mixed glue, paints, flour and water. When pupils mixed the ingredients too smooth, they engaged in problem solving, working out how to keep th lumps in.
