Good Afternoon.
In Literacy we have learned the split diagraph sounds ‘o-e’ and ‘u-e’ We taught ted how to write ‘o-e’ words, played roll and read, wrote u-e words, played u-e words snakes and ladders. For writing we worked in partners and wrote spring acrostic poems.
In Maths this week we continued to explore number bonds to 20. We used double sided counters and ten frames to help us. We matched ice cream to their partner cone to show bonds to 20, played number bonds to 20 bus stop and completed the missing number bonds on stars. We also explored odd and even numbers using Numicon.
This week was British Science week. On Monday we explored the life cycle of a bee. A bee starts out as an egg, then larva, then pupa and finally a bee. On Tuesday we had our P7 STEM leaders down to help us in an activity called Handy Gardener. We have planted five different seeds in a glove. We planted a broad bean, cress, chives, spinach and radishes. On Wednesday and Thursday, we watched a video all about dinosaurs from the National Museum of Scotland. It told us all about dinosaurs. We then drew our favourite dinosaur and found out what they like to eat, how long or tall they were and when they lived. We made our very own Pterodactyl peg. Here are a few of the children’s reflections:
Jessica – “I enjoyed learning about Dinosaurs. I drew a Pterodactyl.”
Gracie- “I loved Gym. I liked learning the new star game.”
Leo – “I liked learning about the superheroes in the house corner.”
Aaron – “I loved learning the new games and playing in the hall and playing the mushroom game with the parachute.”
Matthew- “In gym we made a mushroom with the parachute. We went under it.”
Emily – “I made a bee with playdough. I liked Gym.”
Angus – “I liked playing in the tuff tray. I was learning about bees and playing with other people.”
Finlay – “I enjoyed doing PE. It is my favourite! I liked red light, green light. I was the traffic light and a car. In stars and catchers, I was the catcher!”
Ishanvi – “I liked the assembly because we were having red nose day.”
Have a lovely weekend
