As part of participation Friday we visited our local shops to ask if they would display our Reduce, Reuse, Recycle posters. We have been exploring the importance of recycling correctly and we know by doing so we can help to save our planet. We hope people in the community will see the posters and be reminded of this important issue. Some pictures below.
In an attempt to become more independent learners, we are beginning to self assess our work against curricular targets. We have began with writing. The children are aware of the 3 main targets and these targets are part of our writing success criteria.
When children are finished their work they traffic light it against the success criteria (red – still a bit tricky, yellow – getting there and green – I’ve got it!) and put it in the appropriate tray. During this term we will also focus on different forms of Feedback and how we can use it to improve our work the next time.
We are continuing to enjoy Hamish McHaggis’s adventures as he travels around Scotland. We have been celebrating all things Scottish through art and design- making tartan patterns, using chalk to create thistles and starting to make Nessie puppets.
Lead Learners
The children are becoming more confident leading aspects of lessons. The pictures below show a number of children explaining how to partition 8 in a number of different ways.
I hope you all have a lovely weekend. More updates next week.
