Health and Wellbeing<\/strong><\/p>\n

As we continue to focus on the topic of Celebrating our Differences,\u00a0 we have been identifying how we are different and what exactly makes us special. It was very interesting to hear about everybody’s unique talents, abilities or little quirks which make us the person we are. Here are some of the examples which we shared with each other.<\/p>\n

Finlay – I am good at writing words and that makes me special.<\/p>\n

Kaleb – I am learning my name and how to write it and that makes me feel special.<\/p>\n

Lucy – I am really good at playing games and that makes me special.<\/p>\n

Leighton – I can ride my bike without stabilisers and that makes me feel special.<\/p>\n

We are working together with Primary 1A to build a special display to highlight our hard work in Health and Well Being over the last few weeks. We will share the finished result with you when it is ready.<\/p>\n

Literacy<\/strong><\/p>\n

This week we have had a focus on building and extending our vocabulary. We have been using a new and exciting programme called Word Boost. Each week we focus on a new story and learn all about 4 exciting and ambitious WOW words. This week we read the story Leo’s Dream by Antonie Schneider. Our boost words were –<\/p>\n

Celebrate<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reply\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Investigate<\/strong><\/p>\n

Enormous<\/strong><\/p>\n

Parents should have received a special ‘parent postcard’ detailing our new words to practise using in everyday conversation in the red homework folders.<\/p>\n

We have devised a secret signal for when we hear a boost word being spoken, we will tap our noses. Suffice to say there has been lots of nose tapping this week. It has been great fun learning about these words and matching them up with pictures. We even had a go at drawing our own pictures too….<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We now know that there are different types of words. Words which are coloured yellow are adjectives (describing) and red words are verbs (doing words).<\/p>\n

Numeracy\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

This week we have been continuing our hard work with teen numbers and using the ten frames to represent these numbers.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

We have also been working on recognising number words and matching the numeral to the word or the collection. We have been enjoying using the laptops in the class to develop this tricky skill.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

A great game we have discovered is ‘Numbers to Words Fruit Shoot’ on\u00a0 the topmarks website. Here is the link to have a go at home.<\/p>\n

We are getting really good at describing how we see dot patterns and now we can use the = and + symbols when recording a number story.<\/p>\n

Bonfire Night<\/strong><\/p>\n

Seeing this Thursday is Bonfire night we have been learning a little bit about the history behind why we celebrate bonfire Night on the 5th of November. We discussed how Guy Fawkes had a plan to blow up the Houses of Parliament. Mrs Walker set up a fun activity where we could practise our printing and colour mixing skills. We made the most beautiful fireworks pictures and even added a little sparkle too.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\" \"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

We hope everyone has a happy and safe Bonfire night and a lovely weekend when it comes.<\/p>\n
