sentence openers – Springfield Primary School and Bonnytoun Nursery School

As a new month starts, our learning continues.

This week we have consolidated our learning around negative numbers and the children have completed a pre-topic assessment for money and finance, which we will begin to explore next week.

In literacy, the children have used Scot’s language to rewrite either part of the script from The Lion King or a scene from The Broons. They had great fun using Scot’s Dictionaries to discover some new words. Ask them which new words they have discovered!!

We have also written an imaginative story, with our main focus being the way sentences are started. We have learned that sometimes we need to restructure the sentence in order to open it with an interesting word. Ask your child which sentence openers they used this week!!

We have continued our preparations for The Lion King show, rehearsing and singing.

Have a lovely weekend

Primary 6B and Mrs Kerr

This week we have looked at the sentence openers we use in our story writing and discovered that we usually use the same words over and over again to start our sentences. We have explored some other words that we could use instead and we are hoping that next week, our sentence openers in our stories will be much more exciting.

In maths we had to use our knowledge of factors, multiples and prime numbers to work out which factor bug had eaten Mrs Kerr’s chocolate!!!

Ask the children who it was and how they worked it out.

As part of our learning for Scot’s week, we have played Scot’s language bingo, recited our Scot’s Poems and explored the lives of The Scottish Colourists.

Yours
