We are Reece and Kyle and we are the reporters of this week’s blog and we are reporting on Guided Reading.

Aaron was reading ‘Toilets and Telephones’ it is about how people made Toilets and Telephones and how they made flushing toilets. Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone, Clarence Birdseye he invented a freezer. John Brodie he invented football nets. King Camp Gillette he invented safety razors and Ladislao Brio invented quick drying ink.

One of the group’s tasks was to underline the words that has ‘er’  in it.

One of the girls was doing a Y chart. She had a follow on task from her reading on Wednesday. She is explaining things about ‘Divided City’ her reading book, like feelings, sounds and looks, on this Y chart.

Callum was doing a puzzle and doing work on it.

Mental Maths Quiz Blog by Arianne and Dylan

P6k have been doing a mental maths quiz we interviewed some people to see how they found the quiz and here is what they said…

Eilidh- I found my work challenging I understood most of my questions but some of them were a bit more difficult.

Scarlett– I found my work challenging I got 7 right out of 10 and the 3  that I got wrong were the ones I found more difficult.

Reece- I found my work challenging I understood most of my questions but only a few were a bit more difficult.

Alex- I found my work challenging I found most of them difficult but once Mrs Kilpatrick explained them I understood them.

Have a go at revising our phonic sound this week while playing these fun games!

P6K hope you’ve had a lovely time over the last few weeks with Halloween and then Bonfire Night. We have participated in some lovely art projects over these events. We created an image that felt spooky (by choosing colours and images that suggest certain emotions and feelings to us) and we also created an image of a bonfire setting. We tried to catch the warmth and excitement of a bonfire and fireworks show (we did this by showing movement in our silhouettes, also, by using small brush strokes to create the movement of the flames in the bonfire and by using dashed, curved lines to capture the explosion of the fireworks).

Over the last few weeks P2a have been reading The Twits.  We have thoroughly enjoyed reading this hilarious book.

P2a have been learning about describing words – adjectives.  They created a class list of words describing Mr Twits character. Miss Anderson was most impressed with Lucy who suggested wretched and mischievous!

Can you think of any other adjectives to describe Mr Twit?
