This week has flown by. We have been revising our set 1 sounds and tricky words. We played a roll and read game, looked for real or nonsense words and rolled dice to make real or nonsense words. In writing we learned what a simile is and wrote our own similes to describe Nessie the Loch Ness monster. “Nessie is like a dinosaur.” said Lois. “Nessie is as big as a cruise ship.” said Leighton. “Nessie is as shy as a mouse.” said Sevinc. We also said our poems to the class. In maths we have been exploring the months of year and the seasons. We drew pictures of the different seasons and discussed each one. We had to sequence the months of the year correctly. In P.E we are still working on gymnastics. We continued working on our different shapes and learned how to do two types of rolls. In Science, we went out in the garden and picked up things from nature. When we got into class we put the things we had picked up in a cup and filled the cup with water and placed it in the freezer. We also got together with Ms King’s class to prepared for the Scottish assembly. We performed the Three Craws. Here are some of the children’s reflections:
Euan: “I found looking for the real and nonsense words tricky.”
Leo: “I found it hard playing the game when we were making real and nonsense words.”
Sam: “I enjoyed exploring the months of the year.”
Ayden: “I enjoyed the Scottish assembly.”
Sevinc: “I enjoyed writing my simile about Nessie.”
Murdo:”I enjoyed the assembly and listening to the poems.”
Rory: “I found it tricky to concentrate on finding the real and nonsense words.”
