This week P6/7 have been refreshing their memory with times tables after the summer break.  In shared reading we have started to read a new book called ‘Oranges in No Man’s Land’ and have started a new class novel called ‘Running Out of Time’.  During maths we have worked on our mental strategies for adding up to triple digit numbers. and have been learning the 1089 times table!  We worked in groups of four and had to make a radio programme which included a jingle, an interview and an advert.  We finished off our week with an exciting game of rounders which everyone enjoyed.

P3/4 have shown good listening skills whilst their friends in class show and tell objects from their holiday.

This week (Friday 21st September) we focused on objects found at or near the beach (or bought/found/won on a beach holiday).

Welcome back to my new P3/4 class!  We have been spending time getting to know each other this (short) week, including when our birthdays are, and what our favourite TV programmes, sweets, food, pets and colours are.  Well done for organising and displaying information about our favourite colours.  Here they are busy at work…

Well done to all the children who performed in the school show for the 50th birthday celebrations.  Here is a picture of the P6/7 class who are dressed in their 80’s outfits.  The children performed a dance to ‘Dancing in the Street’ and then a catwalk to ‘Karma Chameleon’.

This week, P3/4 have been busy doing some independent quizzes and tests using the netbooks and headphones.  Afterwards, we counted in fives and made a number line to check we had all our equipment in order.
