This Week in P3/2
Literacy
During Literacy this week, we were up-levelling our writing by adding adjectives and using our core writing targets.
Alexis- “I was writing sentences about Pudsey Bear”.
We read through our reading book and then answered comprehension questions about the text. When reading, we made predictions about what might happen and looked at the picture for clues.
Tyller J. “I was reading my book”.
We have been practicing our new spelling sounds every day. We practice using our whiteboards, rainbow writing and using our spelling words when writing a sentences.
Maths
In maths this week, we were learning about patterns. We were also completing a number sequence and identifying the rule of the number sequence. We used a 100 square to support us and work out the rule and complete the number sequence.
Calvin- “Pattern is when the same thing is repeated”.
Aaron – “We were learning about number sequence. This is when you add the same amount to each number”.
IDL
For our topic this week, we were learning about Vikings homes and what they wore. We looked at what Vikings made their homes from. We compared a Viking house to our home and discussed the different materials that were used and the advantages and disadvantages of these materials. We also learned about how the Vikings dressed and the materials that their clothes were made from. The Viking used materials such a wool, leather and fur to make clothes and shoes.
Robyn- “We were learning about what the Vikings wore. They wore capes”
Scarlet- “They wore jewellery and broaches”.
P7/6
It has been another great week! The P7/6 class have been working extra hard at learning division strategies and they have been busy writing an expository text. They have been learning about the history and significance of Remembrance day as well.
The children have been heavily involved in organising Children in Need activities and it has been a successful venture. For IDL, they have been working in groups research 3 different types of animals from the Amazon. They have been learning about the different diet, habitat as well as food chain.
Have a lovely weekend everyone!

Apostrophes have two diferent purposes. They connect two words together: “It is” turns into “It’s”. They can also be for someones property. It sometimes comes before the s.

P5 Remember
Remembrance Day
This week we celebrated Remembrance Day or Poppy Day . We had a two minute silence on Wednesday to remember armed forces members who have died in the line of duty. We also watched a video by Rev. Nelu who talked about what it meant.
This Weeks Learning
Literacy
On Monday we continued to read our novels in group reading in order to improve our fluency and decoding skills. We practised answering questions about the text with our reading partner on Tuesday. Then on Wednesday we discussed our novels in detail in order to practise our talking and listening skills while being encouraged to back up our ideas with evidence from the text. Finally, on Thursday we wrote a persuasive piece connected to the novel.
Numeracy
Hope – We learnt how to add several numbers using different strategies.
Anna – We can look for numbers that make 10.
M – Then we can look for numbers that make 11 and 9.
Then if we add these together it makes a multiple of 10.
Debbie – It was tricky at first!
We did find it difficult. However, practise makes perfect so we had another go and we feel more confident now.
Maths – Shape
We continued to practise discussing the properties of 3d shapes and this week using pipe cleaners, to represent the edges of a shape, built our own 3d shapes.
Science – Micro-organisms
Bailey – I learnt that some microbes are harmful but some can be helpful. There are three types – bacteria, fungi and viruses.
Jaxson – I enjoyed designing my microbes poster showing how they can help us.
Health
We learnt about the difference between direct and indirect bullying and continued to discuss ways of dealing with conflict.
