We have had even more exciting new resources to explore in our classrooms. Kayleigh has used one of our amazing new writing logs to practise writing sentences and she has even included a describing word.
This week’s sound has been ‘d’ which has driven us dotty!! We hope you like our dotty d’s. We have had lots of fun building words and exploring the sound. We know we have to be careful not to be tricked with the sound b! We know that d has a tail just like a dddog.
The primary 2’s have been practising their dictation skills and writing sentences independently using d words. Well done Primary 2.
Scarlet – I liked all the busy start jobs this week especially making d words with the play dough.
Ashley – I liked practising writing my d’s on paper with a writing pencil.
Aayan – I liked my dotty d because it was really really spotty.
In numeracy we have been exploring number friends and counting in 10’s. We have had a great time using numicon to make 10 in different ways.
Lewis made the pattern 6 + 4 =10 using his numicon and Aaron was able to write all of the tens numbers up to 100. Wow! well done.
Daniel wowed Mrs Stevenson this week because he counted in 5’s all the way from 0 to 100.
Lexie – I liked counting in 10’s and making patterns with the numicon.
Aaron – I have enjoyed my number work this week and found that counting in 10’s with the numicon is easy.
This week sees the beginning of Fairtrade Fortnight. We have been exploring the symbol and learning all about where chocolate comes from. We read the story of Pablo the Fairtrade Super Banana and decided to create our own super hero bananas. Tadas thought it would be a good idea to include the Fairtrade symbol in our class shop to help promote Fairtrade.
Aayan – I loved making my Super Banana, mine was a bit like Batman- batbanana!!
We have been using our imagination in our role play areas. We have been performing fairy tales and using our voices to retell the story in a dramatic way and in the right order!
Sophie – I loved using the finger puppets to retell Little Red riding Hood. It’s one of my favourites.
Our Homework superstars this week are Harrison, Calvin and Sophie. They boys made fantastic mini beasts using recycled materials. Sophie made her very own dot patterns and wrote the calculations to go with it. Well done everybody. Thank you to everybody who sent in pictures of your home learning, we thoroughly enjoy looking at them together.
