Ness Class have been exploring Scottish songs, poems, literature and myths.
Inspired by the story of Nessie, Ness class decided they wanted to make jelly monsters during Food Tech this week. We set our own jelly, gave our monsters chocolate hair and scary laces.
Lots of munching followed. Clearing up and washing is something we are all working hard on.
What a fantastic time we had during our Food Technology session. The pupils decided they wanted to make ‘Monster Burgers’ with scary faces and tasty teeth. Well done to all the pupils who flipped their own burgers, used different food textures and sniffed and tasted everything, they cooked. A very responsible class who cleaned and tidied up after themselves.
Well done Ness Monsters 🙂
The New Year got off to a brilliant start this week in Ness. Getting back into our routines helped focus our minds back to enjoying time with our learning friends.
In reading, we have been exploring non fiction texts. In writing, we have been focusing on New Year Resolutions and presentation. Our Number learning is multiplying by 2 and 3 this week. We are also linking this to repeated addition allowing us to go beyond 2×12 and 3×12.
The highlight of our week was baking today. Our class chose Shortbread biscuits and we look forward to tasting them tomorrow.
Enjoy the pictures below.
We brought the curtain down on a very busy but successful first term. We have made lots of friends and learned lots of amazing facts and skills over the past 8 weeks. The highlight of this week was our funny but edible squishy ghosts we made during Food Technology.
Enjoy the pics below, and we hope everyone has a lovely week off.
A wonderful day for experiencing the great outdoors. Ness had a great time exploring our locality. Having noticed the amount of litter around our school, we decided to help our environment by clearing it up. We have been learning how important it is to look after our environment.
Enjoy our pictures below.
The new term is going very well in Ness Class. Everyone has settled in and the learning is progressing well.
This week, we have been reading together every day to improve our reading fluency.
Our number learning has been Place Value and some of us are very good at identifying number up to 1 million!
Science has been the highlight of our week, where we have explored Static Electricity- a hair raising experiment for most!
Some of our highlights are in the pictures below!
Our pupils have been learning about the Oceans of our World. A fact we found interesting was that we have dumped over 5 Trillions of pieces of plastic in our oceans. The pupils of Ness found this very sad and decided to find out how much plastic pollution we had around our school grounds. We collected the litter and decided to make a giant poster with it. We will be sharing our research and our Pollution Poster with the rest of the school. Enjoy our pictures!
Teamwork was the theme of the week in Ness Class. We were all helping each other learn during reading, number and playing.
In Reading, some of us wanted to help read our Book Of The Week. Laura, Dominic, Hunter and Lochlan were very keen to ‘be teacher’ and teach the book to the class.
In number, we have been learning about Fractions. We used a big bag of sweets to help our understanding about what a fraction is. Everyone helped share out our 1 Big Bag into tenths. Some of us even understood sharing the small bags into thirteenths. Mr Elliott, Mrs Mains and Mrs Hill were absolutely amazed at our knowledge.
Finally, we have a lovely playtime today in the sun. Hunter, Dominic, Nathan and Laura decided to play their own game of Duck-Duck-Go! Or as it’s known in our class: Quack-Quack-Run!
Enjoy our pictures 🙂
On Wednesday, we began our 6 week block of swimming lessons. Lots of excellent swimmers in our class, and even a few of us brave enough to dive into the pool. We had a great time at the pool and look forward to our next session.
It was great for everyone to be back in Ness Class this week. We all had great breaks: some of us had a birthday, some of us went to London, some went to Oban, some had day trips but we all enjoyed a good rest. This was why we were ready to get back to learning and having fun in class this week. Our new Topic is Under the Ocean and in Science we are learning about Hot and Cold. In number, we are looking at division and fractions and in literacy our big focus is learning how to write to persuade! Routines were re-established very quickly and we are already excited about the remainder of this term. Enjoy some of the highlights of our week below!
