P1 this week

Primary 1 have had another very busy week.

In writing we have been working on the ‘ai’ sound.

We have been writing fairy tales and imagining who the main character was, what happened to them and who came to rescue them.

In maths we have been continuing to explore measure using non-standard units.  We don’t think this is a very accurate way of measuring as all the cubes and items are different sizes.    We have been working on our number bonds and addition facts and we all had a great time using sumdog games based learning to help us practise our skills.
We have a school subscription to Sumdog and it can be used at home.  www.sumdog.com  If you need a copy of the username and password please let us know.

  

In digital learning, we have found out that algorithms are sequences of instructions.  We tried following algorithms in the classroom and we had fun with an ‘unplugged’ algorithm to draw a crazy character.

We then tried using ScratchJr to code the sprite to move in a specific way.  We were writing an algorithm using blocks.  It was a challenge at times, but great fun.

P4/3 Create Flying Santas and More Digital Learning

 

This week we have had a revision of simple fractions.
We had fun using games – both hand’s on and online.

We were learning about St Andrew on St Andrew’s day.  We designed our own tartans online.  We even managed to save our designs on Word, and then upload our documents onto our class team.

We have also been practising our keyboard skills. As we become more familiar with the keys, we are getting faster at logging into different websites and apps.

We have been learning to write programs to run on the computer using block coding. We had great fun coding Santa to fly across the screen.

You can see some videos of our flying Santas, and more of our digital learning on our Twitter page @MrsBuntinICT

P3 Try Coding in ICT

This week we have started to learn about coding in ICT.  We were programming simple instructions to get the angry bird to go and get the pig.  “It was amazing.”   “It was awesome”.  Everyone was able to work at their own pace and we all had fun.

Maths
We have been learning about friendly numbers, such as 10 or 5 and we have been using them in our number talks to help us to  add 2 digit numbers.  We also learned to play a new game.

Road Safety Week
It is Road Safety Week this week, and we have been looking at the Green Cross Code and writing about how to cross the road safely.  We were sequencing instructions in the correct order.

As part of our senses topic, we have been focusing on the sense of hearing this week.  We have been on outdoor and indoor sound walks and we even managed to play sound bingo.
