Literacy
We have been learning how to give feedback to each other and how to peer assess each other’s work. We were working on using different sentence openers and used a highlighter to identify the openers our partner had used. We then coloured in the smiley face that we thought they had achieved. We said what we thought was good about their work and gave them a next step.
It was Scottish Book Week this week so we were reading some of the Katie Morag books. We read ‘Katie Morag and the 2 grandmothers’ then compared the characters in the story. We had to find words in the book to support our answers. We read a different Katie Morag story each day and talked about the different characters that we met. We also created a giant Katie for our topic corner. We thought of words that described her and added them to our display.
We finished our BFG story this week and we have loved every second of it! We used the story as a stimulus to talk about bullying and being kind to each other. The Giants are not kind to the BFG and it makes him sad so we talked about what we could do in that situation. We made posters to help people remember what to do if someone is being unkind to them.
Numeracy
In numeracy we were using our knowledge of number bonds to 10 to help us recall the bonds to 20. We noticed a pattern! We used a rhyme to help us remember the number facts. We made number socks to show the pairs that made 20. We worked with a partner to make our socks symmetrical. We are going to hang them on our washing line.
Other
It was our last week of rehearsals for the Nativity. We are all very excited to perform to a proper audience. We have been very busy sorting costumes and props. Well done to Harrison for winning the Enjoyaball trophy. We are very proud of your achievement. Well done to Zara for moving up a level in swimming. So nice to hear about everyone working hard outside of school.
We have also been busy doing Christmas crafts this week. We have made ribbon wreaths for the Christmas Fair. We also made paper plate angels to hang on the Christmas tree. It was very sparkly with an explosion of glitter in P2A!
Have a lovely weekend
Miss Mudd and P2A
