Learning Highlights

1. This week we enjoyed working with Rob from Kids Gone Wild. He took us to our usual spot in the forest area at Deanburn Gardens where we learned how long it would take for different items to disintegrate into the soil. Did you know that glass will take over one million years?!
2. We had a music lesson from Mrs de Luen from NYCoS who taught us a song that includes 5 different languages; English, Spanish, French, Swedish and German.
3. As a class we looked at sounds and vibrations and how they travel through the air to the ear.

Tricky Tasks

1. We have been practicing times tables in maths and looking at how important it is to learn them off by heart to help us with harder maths in the future.
2. For spelling practice we have been looking at putting words into alphabetical order. It gets quite tricky when some words begin with the same letter and we have to look at the next letter.
3. We have been using reciprocal reading skills in literacy and have made predictions about our class novel, the Wild Robot. We’ve also been clarifying hard words and asking more questions to get a better understanding of the text.

Our lead learners this week were Amelia and Thomas who worked on looking out for kindness and respect.
