Springfield Primary School and Bonnytoun Nursery School

On Monday we worked hard to learn our new spelling patterns for this week and practised our words as we moved around the different active spelling stations. In Maths we continued learning about the different types of repeating patterns and began work designing our own tile designs.  In the afternoon we began work to create a “friendship circle” using our very own hand designs.  We also tried out our new “learning through play” activity centres.

We had a great time at the Bench ball Festival. The class had worked so hard throughout the term learning the rules of the game and practising their throwing and catching skills. Mrs McVay was very proud of how well we played in our games and how supportive we were of one another throughout the afternoon.

The glitter is out! Our classroom carpet is very sparkly after having a great afternoon on Thursday making Christmas decorations for the school hall and tree. We are busy making our Christmas craft to sell at the Christmas Fayre so please remember to come and visit us next Friday.

This week we have been revising adding numbers to 5 and we have been learning addition facts for 6. We played with dominoes and looked for the dominoes which made 6, explored different ways to make 6 in our workbooks and played ‘Save the Whale’ on the smartboard. We needed to know our number bonds to 6 to save the whale!

On Thursday, we continued to look at reading o’clock times on analogue and digital clocks. We played ‘Hour Hero’ on Education City, played o’clock Bingo and matched written, analogue and digital o’clock times. We have also been learning songs about the days of the week and the months of the year.

Next week is our Christmas Nativity, ‘A Little Nativity’. There is lots of excitement in our class! This week we drew detailed line drawings of sheep for our hall decorations. We used paint, cotton wool, glitter and tinsel to make our sheep. Look out for our hall decorations next week! We have been participating extremely well in our songs and we are looking forward to performing for audiences.

This week our new sounds were ‘l’ and ‘c’. When learning about the ‘l’ sound, we played ‘l’ Bingo with words and pictures, practised writing ‘l’ and ‘l’ words, drew ‘l’ pictures and played ‘Lovely Lollipops’ on Education City. When learning about the ‘c’ sound, we made ‘c’ with jewels, pebbles and counters, made ‘c’ with rainbow writing and made a ‘c’ graffiti wall. On Friday we had a turn of being the teacher! We used Miss Harrison’s magnetic letter board on the smartboard to show the rest of our class ‘l’ and ‘c’ words! We have also been learning to read and write our common words. This week our common words were ‘he’, ‘me’ and ‘is’. We played ‘Beat the Teacher’ and we were able to read our common words so Miss Harrison didn’t get any points!

Thank you for reading our blog post.
