We have been working hard all week.
In language, we are learning the ‘oi’, ‘ea’ or ‘sh’ sounds. We have been making our words using magnetic letters, and we are trying to spot these words in our reading texts.
We have been writing reports about the 50th birthday celebration last week.
In our topic work, Barnaby bear has finished his travels in Scotland. We had the opportunity to look at some artwork by Charles Rennie Mackintosh. We tried making our own pictures of roses in the Mackintosh style. In PE we have been working on linking some dance steps together to make a dance in the style of a Scottish Country Dance. We are having great fun!
In maths, we have been learning to count forwards and backwards in 10’s. We don’t always start on a 10 number – sometimes we try 3,13,23,33. It is a challenge when we cross over 100, but we are practising every day. In money, we have been adding up coins, and beginning to calculate change.
As part of our Scots focus this week, we have added more steps to our dance, and now it is becoming quite a challenge, but we are all having fun learning. We have also been learning about different Scots words, and listening to stories written in Scots. Sometimes it is easy to guess, and sometimes not. We were all a bit stuck with translating “loon”.
