Welcome to this week’s blog. I hope you are all well. Some of this week’s highlights.
Health and Wellbeing – The Colour Monster 
As promised last week, a picture of our completed Colour Monster display which we share with P1/2.
The children put a great deal of though into what makes them happy, feel love, angry etc. and shared their thoughts on speech bubbles.
Outdoor Learning – 
Below are some pictures from this weeks outdoor learning challenge set by Mrs Dobbie. The children had to work together to find a way to cross the playground without standing on the ground.
And they made it! Challenge completed!
Writing-
As well as our weekly writing the children are encouraged daily to write independently and are becoming more confident. Some really good examples below-
Numeracy – 
This week I have been challenging the children to add 2 collections when one of them is screened (this is support counting on strategies), they have also been introduced to subtration using this method. I was so pleased to see 2 children challenging each other (with no promting at all) using screens.
The children have also been creating their own numbers talks and challenging each other.
We have been exploring how larger numbers are made using 10 as a base number and dienes base 10 blocks. Some children created very large numbers!
Art and Design
We have started creating a forest display complete with drawings of the wolf from Little Red Riding Hood and The Three Little Pigs.
I hope you all have a lovely long weekend and I look forward to welcoming the children back on Wednesday 16th February!
