We started off our week with Money Monday. We revisted our prior knowledge in this numeracy topic and used our concrete materials (coins) to show different ways of making an amount. The children were fantastic at showing and explaining what different coins they had used to show a total amount.

In PE we continued with our Athletics. This week we put our running skills that we learned about last week to the test. This week we focused on running over objects. the children worked in teams to complete and obstacle rely. The first team to all be seated won the race. Tiring work!

P3 and 3/4 worked together this week to explore another of our wonderful Scottish cities. This week we stopped of in Stirling. The children were asked to research facts about this city and encourage tourism by creating a leaflet full of information and facts about this historical city.

We discussed Robert Burns this week and listened to ‘To a mouse’. After we designed our own kilts using our knowledge of tartan ,colours and patterns.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! Enjoy your haggis, neeps and tatties!

It has been another busy week in Deans Den as the children are working hard to become independent learners. They are really enjoying their role as lead learners and take pride in being the line leader and group messenger. Well done boys and girls!!

In maths, we have been learning about time and exploring using clocks in our play. We discussed where we might see clocks and why it is important to learn to tell the time. Her are some of our answers:

” There was a clock in the hospital” Maddison

” Look there’s numbers on the clock” Max

“Clocks help us to tell the time” Charli- Mae

” I want to learn the time” Andrew

We will continue to practise this during group time. Have a lovely weekend.
