We have had a great time this week.\u00a0 For numeracy we are working on multiplication and practicing some of our times tables.\u00a0 We enjoyed exploring patterns that the times tables make and playing board games using our times tables.\u00a0 We have also been doing lots of counting in groups.<\/p>\n
In January, we are focusing on scots language and this week we explored the poem ‘A Dug, A Dug’ by Bill Keys.\u00a0 We really liked looking at the scots words and seeing if we could work out what the word would be in English.\u00a0 We made a picture dictionary to help us with the new words and some of our favourites have been hoose, breeks and mingin.<\/p>\n
As part of our topic this term we are learning about some Scottish landmarks and started this week by looking at Edinburgh Castle.\u00a0 We are using our learning about this to create a PowerPoint presentation, learning how to use PowerPoint for images and texts and are looking forward to learning how to add animations to our PowerPoint.\u00a0 \u00a0We also used chalk pastels to create castles, thinking about the main features that castles have.<\/p>\n
For music we have been looking at different Scottish instruments with Mrs Morrison.\u00a0 This week we looked at different types of Accordion.<\/p>\n
In our Spanish learning, we have been learning the names of the different parts of our bodies and had good fun acting along with the song Cabeza, Hombros, Rodillas y Pies (Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes!)<\/p>\n
Looking forward to lots of new learning next week!<\/p>\n
