In reading, we focused on the Jack and the Beanstalk story, answering comprehension questions and describing the characters using wow words. We also used props to act out the story with a partner and used yellow split peas to make something from the story – one of the characters, settings and even the beanstalk.

In maths, some of us have been learning our two times table. Others have been using ten frames to support their understanding of addition. Some of us have been developing our understanding of subtraction and others have been counting in 10s.

In language, some of us have been matching words with pictures to help our decoding and blending skills. We had to read the three sounds in the word and work to blend them together to read the word.

In health we have been learning all about medicines and how to stay safe around them. We focused this week on some do’s and don’ts of medicines including who to take medicines from.

In writing, we have been continuing our dinosaur adventure stories to get them ready for the West Lothian Young Writer competition.
