Phonics

Shea: we learned the ‘v’ sound.

Mara: the ‘z’ sound.

Anna: the ‘z’ sound is dark blue that means it is a loud sound.

Carter: the ‘v’ sound is a loud sound because it is a red sound.

Roma: we made a zebra for the ‘z’ sound.

Paul: ‘s’ and ‘z’ sound a little bit the same.

Here are the songs for the sounds we have been learning:

Numeracy

Lucas: on the laptop you had to drag the teddy bears into the house. For 4 you could put 2 into 1 house and another 2 in the second house.

Amelia: For 6 teddy bears you could do 3 and 3.

Shea: For 7 teddy bears you could put 6 in 1 house and just put 1 in the other house.

Rojin: You had to pick up a lollipop stick and there was an adding sum. If it was 3+4 you had to start on 3 and then make 4 jumps. This was on hopscotch.

Scott: With bowling we had to roll the ball and you count how many.

Shea: On the tuff table you had to make the numbers with numicon.

We have been practising our subitizing skills by using this song to help us:

Nativity

We are continuing to practise for our nativity twice a week. We listen to the songs in class every day too. Look out for letters about costumes in homework folders next week.

Roma: we have been talking about going on and off the stage and practising our songs.

Carter: we have to point at me and Roma when the songs are about us.

Freya: we all have a song about the main characters. I like singing ‘shhh’ for King Herod.

 

Writing

We had a little surprise on Wednesday morning when a fairy door had appeared in our classroom. I wonder what is behind the door?

Freya: a fairy door is in our class.

Roma: it has a key in a bottle.

Lucas: I thought a soft play was behind the door.

Amelia: I think a scary soft play.

Mara: I think a magical zoo.

Rojin: I think fairy land.

We loved using our mighty writer board to develop our ideas for our writing.

 

Library

On Tuesday, we went to the library as part of book week Scotland. When we were at the library, Mrs Campbell the librarian read us the 3 bookbug stories. We then had to vote to see which was the favourite. In our class ‘I am Bat’ was the favourite with 11 votes.

Mara: you picked a book and we are going to read it.

Shea: There was a book competition.

Roma: we read a book called ‘I am Bat’.

Carter: we read ‘Eric makes a slash’.

Rojin: and ‘One Button Benny.’

Freya: the favourite was ‘I am Bat.’
