Do you know who Lizzie Bryce was?
We have been learning about who she was as part of our topic Livingston Links. This has finished our topic of finding out about people from the past who have a link with Livingston. We learned that she was born 1776 and that she lived in Raw Cottage in Mid Calder. Today we have a roundabout named after her in Livingston.
In numeracy this week we have revised our learning of the number processes. P2 have completed work on addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. P1 have been adding and subtracting. We took our learning outdoors because the weather has improved so much, we had our chalk and we wrote our calculations on the ground. Our playground was maths-tastic by the end of the lesson.
In Literacy we focused on our two Word Boost books,
P1 – Who Flung Dung?
Boost words – culprit, scoff, trample, ridiculous
P2 – Ingenious Jean.
Boost Words – amazing, finally, a mixture, a vehicle, scoop
For art we completed some Spring cards. We used yellow tissue paper to make a feather texture on our chicks and then made eyes and a beak.
