Today as part of our maths lesson we started off with a Number Talk and the game, Biggest Roller: Taking turns to roll the dice and writing out the numbers in our boxes to find the biggest number. Lots of communication and collaboration skills.
Today in P4-P7 we started to read a range of descriptive texts, focusing on characters in our group novel and how they are portrayed. We started by looking at descriptive language and grammar using our Think Aloud approaches and then had the opportunity to describe another character of our choice.
A busy morning in Woodmuir completing our Sky scraper sundae art work. The children first of all had to draw their tall outline and design each of their sections with a pattern and colour of their choice. At the end they had to outline their drawing in black pen and cut around the drawing carefully. A super start to our art project this term involving drawing skills such as understanding shapes, lines and proportions.
This week in Woodmuir literacy hour we have been very busy working together on our new class novel Turtle Moon. Children were predicting what the book is about, reading character descriptions and designing their own book cover!
Well done to the upper class on a fabulous leavers show, Reach for the stars! The singing was super and everyone spoke very clearly and in role. A great way to finish off the term and demonstrate our talent in the arts, we wish our p7 pupils all the best in secondary school! We will miss you all at Woodmuir primary.
This afternoon we had an extra football training session from West Lothian community Association. This was great fun, learning new skills and having a game at the end.
Today we all had the chance to try out some hockey skills from Livingston Hockey Club. We practised lots of skills such as passing and tackling before a mini game. We had lots of fun and are looking forward to football this afternoon.
We had a fun whole school visit to the RHS yesterday. It was a fantastic day out in the sunshine, getting to see the cattle, sheep, horses and much more. We also had the chance to try lots of different food and participate in fun activities from the exhibitors. At the end we had ice- cream and a play time in the park! Thanks to Ms Petrie for joining us on the trip and volunteering her time to help supervise the children, we all loved having you with us.
