We are super excited to learn all about it. We\u00a0had a whole class discussion and thought about what we already know about the Arctic\/North Pole and what we want to learn. We put all of our ideas on a big poster.<\/p>\n<p>This week\u00a0we began our writing lesson by watching a video clip which showed the Inuit people building igloos. We had to listen to all of the information given in the documentary and then we used it to write our own instructions. We now know that when writing instructions you give each step a number and you\u00a0give the instructions a title.\u00a0We will try to use our instructions to build an igloo in our story corner.<\/p>\n<p>Miss Boyes: 3 boys in class showed a real interest in writing instructions of how to build an igloo. Their enthusiasm of the topic also showed during golden time. Calvin asked me &#8220;Can you come and\u00a0take a photo of our\u00a0Jenga igloo Miss Boyes?&#8221;\u00a0I was more than happy to as I thought this was fantastic. Jakub, Calvin and Seamus had worked together on the construction and they were able to link this straight back to their writing lesson from Wednesday. I asked them how they built their igloo and they informed me that<\/p>\n<p>&#8221; you pretend that the jenga blocks are ice.&#8221; Calvin.<br \/>\n&#8220;You start at the bottom and build them in a spiral.&#8221; Seamus.<br \/>\nThe boys were extremely proud and so they should be too!! I hope they have a nice surprise to see that their jenga igloo has made it onto the blog!<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/stniniansps\/files\/2015\/11\/IMG_1673.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-8635\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/stniniansps\/files\/2015\/11\/IMG_1673-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_1673\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In numeracy \u00a0we have been continuing with our subtraction sums.

It is really important that we go over what we have learnt at the end of a lesson and we think this is super fun. Sometimes Paulo the parrot joins in too as he likes to make sure we have been listening to Miss Boyes.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-8638\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/stniniansps\/files\/2015\/11\/IMG_1670-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_1670\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-8639\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/stniniansps\/files\/2015\/11\/IMG_1672-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_1672\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Here we are showing off what we have learnt.<\/p>\n<p>Keep posted to find out more about the clever clogs in P2B.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our new topic has been unveiled and it is &#8220;The North Pole&#8221;.
