This week the children have visited the cemetery to explore the subject of our Remembrance Day. The children took time to respectfully look at the graves and find those who had served in the military. The children were moved when realising how young some of the service men were when they lost their lives.\u00a0 The display created by the parish was lovingly made up of knitted poppies and the time and effort put in was recognised by the children.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In our literacy work we have been reading the book Storm by Kevin Crossley-Holland as a class.\u00a0 Through the book we have been exploring the tools the author uses to affect the way the reader thinks and feels about characters and to set the mood and pace of the story.\u00a0\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The class worked fantastically this week to tidy the back garden, clear some leaves, collect litter, weed the planters, find worms for a wormery, and plant some bulbs.\u00a0 Some of the children found some potatoes that had self seeded from last year and have chosen to cook them as wedges next week.<\/p>\n

For maths we have been learning about budgets and making plans for our business enterprise.\u00a0 More of this will emerge over the next few weeks.<\/p>\n

The children were story making with their P1\u00a0 buddies this week and they loved it – such an effective way to extend their sense of story sequencing, sentence structure, vocabulary as well as building up their confidence in their work.\u00a0\u00a0\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The class have been introduced to the wellbeing wheel and we have considered what inclusion can mean through the story Each Kindness by Jacqueline Woodson .\u00a0\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We have revisited the 6 x table, and applied our learning of author’s tools to our reading group texts,\u00a0 they have had\u00a0 judo taster session and shared their home learning as a class, they have begun learning some basic Scottish country dance steps in PE and are looking at \"\"<\/a>energy and elect\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>ricity in science.<\/p>\n

Finally, on Friday children got to hold the stick insects if they wished to. I was surprised how many were had a go.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“They are really soft they just pad gently”\u00a0 “It feels a little tickly”\u00a0 ” They go quite fast”\u00a0 “They like the dark colour on my sleeve”<\/p>\n

And last but not least, we had fun in the NYCOS session as you can hear –<\/p>\nhttps:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/public\/livingstonvillageprimaryschool\/uploads\/sites\/65\/2018\/11\/Voice-045.m4a<\/a><\/audio>\n
