Hello everyone,

P4M would like to update you with our learning.

J would like to tell you about how we have been learning Mandarin! We have been learning colour words. We have video lessons via teams. L thinks learning about Mandarin is pretty cool.  H is enjoying Mandarin where we have used our understanding to colour pandas and butterflies.  T knows that hei se is black and bai se is white.

B would like to tell you we made some turkeys when we were learning about Thanksgiving.  M would like to tell you we have been learning about Diwali.  E would like to tell you about the Guy Fawkes night poem we wrote using our cursive handwriting.  Remember, remember the 5th of November.  For Halloween, we celebrated by taking part in some spooky numeracy activities. N would like to tell you we have been learning all of this because our topic is festivals.

L would like to tell you about the rockets we made.  We then wrote Sci-Fi genre stories about them.

R would like to tell you about our fairy tale genre writing.  Her story was about an elf, a fairy and a wizard.

E would like to talk about maths.  We have been learning about telling the time.

M has been enjoying learning about the different things you can do on Microsoft teams.  K has been enjoying learning about this too,

A has been enjoying the NYCOS lessons in music.  NYCOS stands for the National Youth Choir of Scotland.

Z would like to tell you we have been developing our throwing and catching skills through PE.

Thank you for your support,

P4M and Miss M

Hello everyone,

here is an update from P4M.

R – Festivals is our new topic.  We learned about Halloween and this week we are going to be looking at Guy Fawkes night.  W – I know that we will cover new topics throughout the year.  E – I enjoyed the bat pictures and painting the background for our haunted houses.  S – We will be learning about lots of different festivals.

B – We learned about perspective through our topic art and our bat pictures.  Perspective is where two things are the same size but the thing that is further away looks smaller.

L – In PE we are playing ‘Footgolf’.  We use the inside of our foot to kick the ball towards the flag.  K is really enjoying footgolf.  J – We are learning to kick a ball towards a target. A – I’m learning to control the direction of a kick.

E – Through number talks we are looking at the ‘adding up for subtraction’ strategy.  N – We switch a subtraction around and find the difference.

J – We are looking at written methods for addition and I’m finding it easier to add and get the sums right.  T – We have been learning how to carry numbers over.

L – Our new spelling pattern is the long ‘ee’ sound that can be made using ee or e.

M – I’m enjoying when we do the clocks.  We are learning to tell the time.

M – I like learning about our new Jigsaw topic.  I like learning about how people are different.  M – I liked today’s lesson learning about the ‘Solve it together’ strategy to help us solve problems.

Thank you for your continued support,

Miss M and P4M =]
