Day: March 4, 2022

Monday:

Green Gym – we started this excellent activity today, with a problem solving task.

Maths – started looking at  scale, as this will help our understanding of the timelines we are working on

In language new spelling words went out. The class also wrote their narrative pieces “If I were a ….. “. The inspiration for this came from “Strawberry”, my pet snake which I had brought in and fascinated the class.

In PE we extended our learning on hockey, focusing keeping the ball close to the stick for accuracy on push passes. AS, SU, SD, EY  and SJR excelled.

For IDL today we carried on work on the timelines.

Tuesday:

In language today we looked at the original script of “Macbeth” and some of the old fashioned words.

For maths we continued to look at scale.

For IDL today we continued work on the Tudors, with partners researching famous people from the time, and continued writing biographies about them. We also continued work on the timelines, adding baby photos and “Not to scale”

Wednesday:

Maths: work on fractions including whole number.

Language today was another reading comprehension about the Tudors. The whole class found this very interesting.

The class was delighted to be able to at last support the P1s in ICT

Thursday:

With Ms T the class did activities relating to world book day.

We also did drama today based around “Macbeth”.

Mark worked with the class on a health activity on what will happen to the children in the future and they wrote letters to their future selves.

For IDL today we were finishing off work on biographies and timelines.

Friday:

Maths: worked on times tables practise.

PE: tennis activities. Also our class game: “Ball Tig”

Hello, we say it every week but what a busy week!!!

Our Reward

The children filled their marble jar and they decided that they wanted their reward to be a trip to the park. It was a lovely bright morning and the children had lots of fun with Mrs Lockhart and Miss Webster.

IDL

Our IDL stations are new to us as it is not something we have done before. The children have been very engaged in their learning and excited to be part of the different activities in the classroom.

The science experiment is allowing the children to experience first-hand how our digestion works. It gets a little messy but the children loved it! We have also been learning some very tricky words linked to our body, how our lungs work and making a model of our lungs.

This is a weekly rotation so not all children have visited each station yet.

Numeracy

We are working hard on division and trying to understand the concept. We have worked hard as a group to share our knowledge with each other and use different strategies to help us solve different equations.

The children took some of the pictures.

Have a lovely weekend!
