This week we kept our cloakroom really tidy and earned the Cloakroom award- well done P2! We learned about money and giving change to 20p. In writing we wrote a guide on how to spot a witch. We learned how to spell ire words and aw words. We made salt crystals in science and tried dissolving different things. We enjoyed gymnastics and Spiderman dodge ball in gym. We learned about plurals and revised nouns.
Well done to Arya, our star of the week.
P1a have been working very hard this week. In numeracy we have been exploring odd and even numbers. We know that the odd numbers have a 1,3,5,7, or 9 in them and that the even numbers have a 0, 2, 4,6 or 8 in them. Even numbers all have a mate. We explored the odd and even pattern by sorting using numicon, feeding Mr Todd and Mr Steven , colouring odd cupcakes blue and even cupcakes red. In number talks this week Miss Maclachlan set us a challenge. She gave us the numbers 2, 4, 6 and 8 and we then had to try and think of as many number sentences as we could using these numbers e.g. 2+4=6. Can you think of anymore? In literacy this week we having been revising the diagraphs learned in set 2. We made words with these diagrams, taught ted how to spell words and did word searches with the ay, ee, igh, ow, oo, ar, or, ir, air, ou and oy diagraphs. For writing this week we worked in partners and wrote an acrostic poem about Spring. Before we wrote our poems we had a discussion about the season spring and how we know when it is spring. We enjoyed listening to the story about Katie Morag and the Wedding this week. We had a big discussion about things that happen during a wedding and the people involved. We also watched a wee clip of a Muslim wedding to look for similarities and differences in weddings. In P.E we are continuing to work on our team building skills and in particular co-operation. In Science with Mrs Fraser we were learning about what flowers need to grow. They need time, water, soil, light and air. We coloured in a flower and glued on the different bits of the flower.
Our jotters are coming home today for us to share our learning with you. Please could our jotters be brought back to school with us on Monday. Thank you.
