The non-campers from P6, P6/7 and P7 were busy this week researching Islands. We looked at Tristan Da Cunha, Madagascar, Tahiti and then an island of our own choice. We used our knowledge of scale and ratio to develop various charts about these islands. We also created some marvellous art work. Here are a few examples:-
Our P6 children are away all of this week to Lendrick Muir for some outdoor learning. Hopefully the weather will be kind to them and they all have a fabulous time.
We had a very short week in the Nursery so when we did get together, the children enjoyed developing their language through play. We look forward to having a full week together to play next week. We’ll be learning all about growing sunflower seeds next week. Who can grow the biggest sunflower? I bet I can!
This is going to be a busy term. We will be looking at how to write biographies, autobiographies and science reports. In maths we will be concentrating on measurement, initially looking at length but then we will investigate volume. Our topics this term will be to research our local history by investigating the shale mining era in West Lothian and looking a little further back, we will be looking at Bannockburn. Lots and lots to do and learn.
No wonder they’re not smiling!!!!!
Over these sessions we have been learning all about nouns, verbs and adjectives. We have been learning how to improve our story sentences by adding these special words in. Last week we learned what an adverb is and how to use it in a sentence. One of our favourite games in class is ‘Silly Sentences’. We like making up silly sentences with the jigsaw and then we try to add in adjewctives and adverbs to make it an exciting sentence!
Can you make this sentence exciting?
The cat jumped up the tree.
