Bonjour!
What a great week we have had learning about the different countries and continents of the world and what a super response to the Cultural Challenges set for home learning, well done to everyone who completed a challenge task. Hopefully your language skills are now a little more developed than they were at the beginning of the week.
This week P1 have been learning the or and air sounds and P2 have been learning about double consonants ff, ll, ss and zz. We have had great fun playing different games to practise these sounds while also developing our observational skills and our turn taking skills. Some people were very good at spotting our focus sounds within differents texts in the classroom. I wonder how many you can spot around your home or when out and about?
In numeracy this week we have been continuing to practise our number bonds to 10 and 20 and have been using these to help us with our subtraction. We have also been learning about o’clock times on an analogue clock. I wonder how many analogue clocks you can find around your home?
In Art, we continued to develop our observational skills as we watched a Charles Rennie MacIntosh tutorial about how to draw a Rennie MacIntosh rose. We have drawn these using black pens and will finish colouring them next week and let you see them.
In PE we have continued to work on our gymnastics skills and have been practising more rolls. Please remember that our PE days are Monday and Wednesday and children should come dressed ready for PE on those days. You might also like to provide your child with 2 water bottles on PE days so they have plenty to drink.
Yesterday we enjoyed a Digital Schools session with the National Museum of Scotland and it was very informative. We learned about the different parts of a plane and went on a journey to Australia where we met koalas, kangaroos, emus and kookaburras.
Here are some of the children’s comments this week:-
Poppy “I liked learning about the planes and how the animals move a little bit like the aeroplane and I also liked learning the gymnastics moves.”
Dylan “I liked singing the songs about the different parts of the aeroplanes.”
Ethan “I agree with Dylan.”
Cooper “I really really liked writing.”
Minny “I liked learning about the Rennie Mackintosh rose.”
Kyle “I liked drawing the rose.”
Aylar “I liked doing the rose too.”
Rory “I liked the rose too.”
Theo “I liked learning about the guy who makes the poems – Robert Burns.”
