In Literacy this week we have been looking at rhyming words and describing words. Miss Harrison read us ‘Commotion in the Ocean’ and we listened for rhyming words. We played ‘Cat Cosy’ on Education City, matched rhyming words on Easter eggs and matched bees and flowers that rhymed, with Miss Hardie. On Tuesday we looked at describing words for different sea animals. We looked at the shark in ‘Commotion in the Ocean’ and thought about words to describe it. We were able to describe the shark using describing words such as ‘long’, ‘fierce’ and ‘dangerous’. Afterwards we used our own adjectives to write sentences about the shark using describing words.
In Numeracy this week we continued to look at odd and even numbers. We ordered our odd and even number pebbles, wrote odd and even number sequences on our whiteboards, played ‘Crazy Golf’ on Education City and sorted our dominoes into odd and even. We also made our own ‘Odd House’ pictures and we had to make sure that our house had odd features such as one chimney or five windows.
This week we looked at creating drawings through observing and recording. As part of The Round Table Marches Magazine competition, we looked at ‘What makes Linlithgow Beautiful?’ We looked at photographs on the Burgh Beautiful website of flowers and plants in Linlithgow. We drew pictures of what we thought makes Linlithgow beautiful. Our drawings were absolutely fantastic and Miss Harrison and Miss Hardie were very pleased with how hard we worked.
We also developed our observing and recording skills this week by creating our own sea animals from Commotion in the Ocean. We drew the outlines of our favourite sea animals and then Miss Harrison enlarged our drawings. In groups, we used different materials to create our sea animals for our Commotion in the Ocean display. We will finish our display during the first week back after the holidays.
On Thursday afternoon we went into the outdoor classroom and we had an Easter egg hunt. It was a lot of fun! This week we have also been practising our Easter songs and on Friday, we went to St. Michael’s Church for our Easter Service. Miss Harrison was so proud of our behaviour, both walking to the church and during the Easter Service. We would like to wish everyone a happy Easter and we hope that you have a lovely, happy and safe holiday.
Thank you for reading our blog post,
