This week we worked together to plan our learning from now until the next holiday, we are using the Hamish McHaggis books as a stimulus for this. Part of our learning looks at wildlife in the school grounds and we are focusing on birds and the role of the RSPB. Unfortunately the RSPB ranger is not able to visit us next week, (she is coming in January instead) however we are still going to do a nature walk around the school to see what we can find and think of ideas on how to encourage wildlife.
We started to look at food webs and chains and discovered that the sun is always the first part of the chain as it provides the energy needed for things to grow. Next week we will be planning a fair experiment around growing plants.
In literacy we wrote acrostic poems based on Halloween, these were excellent and Mrs Newton is going to make a book of them. Next week we will be looking at rhyming poems, using wildlife as a stimulus.
We have started to use our multiplication knowledge to solve dividing sums- this was a little tricky but we know that we will get there if we work hard. Next week we are going to work on time- let’s hope we can keep to time!
Mrs Newton is going to the Highland Wildlife Park on Saturday to take pictures of all the wolf cubs, If you see any wildlife at the weekend please remember to send in pictures for us 🙂
Have a good weekend,
