This was the week the snow came! We couldn’t resist going out and having some fun together. We stacked, rolled, squashed and squeezed.
In Maths we started a new mini topic on Money. We were learning how to recognise and identify different coins. We were also adding coins up to 50p and £1. We linked this to our work on place value and could identify the tens and ones. We practised our skills by playing lots of Money games.
Miss Mudd set up a new Finger Gym activity this week. We had to use the coins to make up different totals. We then had to use the giant tweezers to put the coins in the right cake cases.
In Literacy we have been learning how to give feedback to our friends. We wrote a sentence then went round the circle and listened to the feedback given. We then had to write the sentence out again and make improvements. We enjoyed doing this because we could see our sentences improving every time!
On Monday Miss Baillie set us a challenge to research Polar Bears and create a fact file to give other people information. We watched videos, analysed pictures and shared our own knowledge to come up with some key facts.
This week we also started our block of Futsal. A big thank you to Neil for teaching us new skills. It was hard work!
The Isle of Struay role play area was finally open for business. We have loved playing in the Post Office and have been practising paying for items and giving change.
For Scottish week we learnt about the artist Steven Brown. We loved how he used bright colours and long wavy lines to create his pictures. We had a go too!
On Thursday we had a very special visit from Travelling by Tuba. We participated in a workshop and learnt to play music from around the world. We had to stay in time to the beat and experimented with different instruments.
At the end of each day Miss Mudd has set out our P2A learning log. We roll out the piece of wallpaper and write down all of the things we have learnt that day. It is important for us to be able to identify what we have learnt so we can reflect on it. As you can see, we have learnt a lot this week!
