This week we played the \u201cHit the Button\u201d game to practise our two times table knowledge. You have to quickly hit the correct answer.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-size: 16.0pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">Paolo the parrot here- I would just like to share how much the children like my plenary wheel. I like to check that they have learnt and understood the learning intention. One aspect that the children have been finding tricky is the difference between 2+1 and 2&#215;1. Maybe you could ask them at home: what is 2&#215;1?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-size: 16.0pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">The children kept getting confused and though that 2&#215;1 equalled 3. So Miss Boyes made it her mission to help the children understand the difference. After checking their knowledge at the end of the lesson I can say that they successfully got it right!<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/stniniansps\/files\/2016\/03\/IMG_1676.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-11168 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/stniniansps\/files\/2016\/03\/IMG_1676-e1457780723576-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_1676\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/stniniansps\/files\/2016\/03\/IMG_1678.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-11169 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/stniniansps\/files\/2016\/03\/IMG_1678-e1457780750773-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_1678\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-size: 16.0pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">In literacy this week we learnt all about road safety. We watched a video clip which spoke about the important things we have to think about before we cross the road.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/stniniansps\/files\/2016\/03\/IMG_1668.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-11170\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/stniniansps\/files\/2016\/03\/IMG_1668-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_1668\" width=\"261\" height=\"196\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-size: 16.0pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">After watching the clip we wrote our very own set of instructions. Later in the week we then read over our instructions checking that we had them in the correct order. Next we went for a walk nearby school and thought about our instructions when we crossed the road.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-size: 16.0pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">We were able to cross the road successfully and we were all very sensible. When we came back to class we assessed our knowledge of crossing the road by completing a sequencing task. Miss Boyes has checked over all of our learning and can proudly say that we can all successfully follow the green cross code.<\/span><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/stniniansps\/files\/2016\/03\/IMG_1683.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-11171 \" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/stniniansps\/files\/2016\/03\/IMG_1683-e1457781164560-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_1683\" width=\"173\" height=\"231\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/stniniansps\/files\/2016\/03\/IMG_1685.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-11172 \" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/stniniansps\/files\/2016\/03\/IMG_1685-e1457781176102-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_1685\" width=\"173\" height=\"230\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/stniniansps\/files\/2016\/03\/IMG_1687.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-11173\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/stniniansps\/files\/2016\/03\/IMG_1687-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_1687\" width=\"211\" height=\"158\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/stniniansps\/files\/2016\/03\/IMG_1690.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-11174 \" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/stniniansps\/files\/2016\/03\/IMG_1690-e1457781217586-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_1690\" width=\"170\" height=\"227\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/stniniansps\/files\/2016\/03\/IMG_1691.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-11175 \" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/stniniansps\/files\/2016\/03\/IMG_1691-e1457781231195-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_1691\" width=\"171\" height=\"228\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-size: 16.0pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">We will bring our very well deserved road safety certificates home to show off on Monday!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-size: 16.0pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">On our topic plan we shared that we wanted to learn about how you get to the moon.
