Hello everyone, P3M wanted to give you an update on what we have been learning!

Ana wants to tell you about settings we have been writing about.  Baili remembers writing about the setting of the forest for Hansel and Gretel and Carmen wrote about an under the sea setting!

Lauren would like to tell you about the show.  Everyone was practising their lines and songs and did really well.  William was proud that everyone did so well with their lines.

Jessica D has been working in her profile jotter this week and has recorded a personal achievement.  Eden would like to share that her personal achievement was that she taught her cat to give her a high 5! Jessica wrote that her personal achievement was teaching her dog to jump up and spin.  In her profile jotter, Lucy was reflecting on the show and wrote a bit about it.

Erika would like to tell you about our Jigsaw lessons.  We have started working on our, ‘Healthy Me’ piece of the jigsaw and she has been learning about how to keep herself healthy.

Jak would like to tell you about our school trip to New Lanark.  Jak enjoyed learning about how cotton thread was made in the past.  Evan enjoyed the Annie McLeod ride and being in the Victorian School.

Sophie would like to tell you about learning the season words in French.  Ruaridh knows printemps is Spring, ete is Summer, automne is Autumn and hiver is Winter.

Ethan has been learning onomatopoeia.  Maxim knows that this is when you write it down and it sounds like the sound it makes when it happens, eg. CRASH!

Gracie enjoyed using small pencil strokes in sketching.  Callum S knows that you use small pencil strokes to build up a picture.  We listened to a rainforest soundtrack and had to interpret it to sketch what we heard.

In writing, Allegra would like to share that we have moved on to developing our understanding of creating a character.  Today we created a character profile of Ursula the sea witch.

Jake has been working on multiplying TU by 2,3 and 4 using the written method.  Callum R has been working on his 4 x table facts.

Alana has enjoyed using similes.  An example of a simile is, “as slow as a snail”.

Thank you for sharing our learning with us and we look forward to showing off our jotters at the upcoming parent’s consultation evening.

Miss MacKenzie and P3M

P6 Spelling Words Blog 20.3.19 (pdf)

P1a have been very busy over the last few weeks learning about odd and even numbers, doubles, halves of numbers and skip counting in twos. We have been doing actions as we count in twos to 20 and we have been using lots of practical materials to find addition doubles and halves of  given numbers. This week we are going to be counting in tens and beginning to look at how bigger numbers are made of tens and ones.

In Literacy we have been learning about the sounds ai, ay, oi, and oy. We especially enjoyed a game where we had to work out the oi or oy words stuck to our backs by asking each other questions. This week we will be learning about the sound oa. In writing we have been trying to spell our tricky words correctly such as remembering the ‘a’ in was!

As part of our transport topic we have been learning about ships and submarines. Some of us made submarines from plastic bottles. Others made submarines or ships from large cardboard boxes. We have loved playing in the boxes and Mrs Cook has been very impressed with our co-operation and imaginative ideas.

Andrew – I liked doubles like double ten is twenty.

Cody – I liked learning how submarines have beds and lots of controls.

Ella-Rose – I like doing number talks

Eryn – I learnt ‘ai’.

Ethan – I liked making a sailing boat.

Euan – I liked the crashed car at the museum.

Frankie – I liked the old transport in the museum.

Konstancja – I liked learning how submarines can see with a periscope.

Kyle – I liked learning about how submarines go under the water.

Lucie – I liked making a submarine model with Cody

Luke – I liked making a ship with Lucie.

Nola – I liked making a model boat.

Rebecca – I liked making a model of a submarine with people inside
