Literacy

This week we have been doing some writing using our class laptops! We use Class Notebook on Teams as an online jotter. Class Notebook is good because you can use dictation (speak a story out loud and the computer will write it down) or immersive reader (which will read your work out loud so you can listen and check that your work makes sense). You can also add images or links to your story.

We are still reading Holes as our class novel, and now we have group reading books. These are Double Act, Follow That Spy!, The Return of the Hundred-Mile-Dog, and Fantastic Mr Fox.

Numeracy

This week we started our Money topic- some of it is a bit tricky but we’re working really hard! We have also introduced the ’55 Club’ scheme to help us with our multiplication and division skills.

Health and Wellbeing

We have been continuing with our work on internet safety and how to be responsible online using a series of videos called Band Runner. The videos are funny and teach you important lessons!

IDL

We have just started our new IDL topic: Our Planet. We came up with ideas about what we know, want to know, and how we would like to learn. We are beginning the topic with some work on endangered and extinct species.

Have a good weekend!

Well done to P5 for some amazing egg decorating.

Here are some of the eggs brought in.

Well done P5.

This week in Primary 2 we have been continuing our topic on living things. We conducted some of our own research on the 6 different animal classification groups and had fun exploring their different characteristics.

We have also been practicing our number doubles with help from Jack Hartman  and his doubles song. Here is a picture of us in action.

This week Primary 1 have been learning about seeds and how they grow.  We watched a short animation called ‘Peep plants a seed’ and then went on to plant our own sunflower seeds.  We took our seeds home and will have a competition to see who can grow the tallest sunflower.  Watch this space!

Primary 1 have been busy writing 2 part stories.  We have been focusing on increasing the detail in our drawings, adding lines and patterns.  We have also been learning about finger spaces and full stops.  In our writing we have been trying hard to sound out words.  Well done!
