Good morning everyone,
This week we have been continuing our learning across the curriculum where we have created links with our topic, Scottish Contexts.
Literacy
We have been developing our linked handwriting skills this week, where we have used our knowledge of Scots language and alliteration to complete various activities. Our spelling patterns for this week have also helped us work on our handwriting skills.
We are continuing to enjoy our class novel for this term which is ‘The Witches’ by Roald Dahl.
Reminder that Scots poems should be ready for Monday 24th January 2022. Please check the criteria on Teams to show you what is expected on recital.
Scottish Contexts
This week we have been completing our Scottish Colourists artwork. We have finished re-creating John Peploes famous piece of artwork – Pink Roses in a Chinese Vase. We hope you are impressed!
We were also given the opportunity to create a personal project about a Significant Individual from Scottish history. We had taken a vote as a class and chose David Livingstone. We also chose the way in which we wanted to display our learning (i.e posters, powerpoints, quizzes etc)
Numeracy and Maths
This week we have been exploring measurement where we were asked to work out the difference between estimating, rounding to the nearest cm and accuracy.
We have been working on column addition and subtraction where we have been working on the correct layout, carrying, borrowing/exchanging terminology with numbers up to and over a million.
