P1M Learning Reflection W/E 16th March

What another busy week in P1M. We have been busy preparing for our assembly. We learned the ‘oo’ sound and the tricky word ‘are’ in Literacy. We wrote about our Granny and why they are special. In Maths, we have been looking at sharing. We have enjoyed playing games such as make it fair and discussing whether something is fair or not. We also did yoga and went litter picking with our P7 buddies. Here are a few of the children’s reflections on the week:

Mathew: I enjoyed yoga.

Amelia: I enjoyed litter picking.

Jaxon: I enjoyed litter picking with my P7 buddy.

Safia: I liked learning the tricky word are.

Jan: I found taking part in the school fitness week tricky.

Lewis: I enjoyed all my learning this week.

Cali: I found it easy doing the Trolls yoga.

P1M Weekly Learning Reflection Week ending 9th March

What another busy week for P1M. In writing we enjoyed sharing our snow adventures and then writing them down. We are focussing on using a capital letter and full stop at the moment. In Literacy we were learning the vowel diagraphs ‘igh’ and ‘ow’. We were able to think of a lot of words with these sounds then word build them. In Maths we have been learning how to tell the time, o’clock and half past times only. We can tell the time on an analogue clock and are beginning to recognise these times on a 12 hour digital clock. Using the computers we tried to draw a picture of the different types of transport from where we live and where Katie Morag lives on the island of Struay. Here are a few of our reflections on the week:

Cali: I liked learning to tell the time when it was o’clock on a digital clock

Anya: I enjoyed learning the sounds ‘igh’ and ‘ow’. I found it tricky using the computers to draw a picture of a mode of transport.

James: I liked learning the new tricky word ‘was’.

Mathew: I enjoyed learning the new sounds.

Calum: I enjoyed learning the ‘ow’ sound. I found it tricky to learn ‘igh’ as it was three letters but only one sound.

Jan: I liked our tricky learning this week. I found it tricky learning to read digital times.

Amelia: I enjoyed telling the time.

Enter The Dragon

Over the last couple of days Matthew and Logan Y have been working on creating a Chinese Dragon Head….the finished piece is brilliant with lots of thought and detail. Well done boys, what a fantastic piece of Lego engineering.

Lego Challenge -The Great Wall of LVPS

Continuing on with our China topic, today’s challenge was to create a watchtower and walls based on our recent research of The Great Wall of China. The children worked in groups of three, using our Lego Challenge Roles to support their learning. Each group planned their tower, thinking about the size constraints and had great fun finally building their creations.

The final challenge was to link them altogether to great our own version of The Great Wall of China … and we did it!

Well done P5, what a terrific bunch of architects and engineers you are.

Snow day challenges

Hope you are all staying cosy and warm, however if the children need some challenge –

1.

  • Take a cupful of snow and time how long it takes to melt in the house.
  • Take a second cup of snow and wrap it in a scarf, time how long it takes to melt.
  • Take a third cup and wrap it in plastic- how long does it take to melt.
  • Take a fourth cup and try and idea of your own to keep the cup cold, and time how long the snow takes to melt.  Remember if it is a fair test everything must be the same except one thing.  So same size cups, same place in the house. the only change is what it is wrapped in.

Let me know if you have any other science ideas.

2.

  • Put food colouring in balloons and add water thenleave them out in the snow to freeze, when you cut the balloon off they look like giant colourful marbles apparently! Not very sciency but hopefullyfun!

  • ? Do you have any other ideas?
