  • New skills

    This week we have been writing facts about oak trees. We have been thinking about spelling our tricky words correctly as well improving our handwriting.

    We had a fantastic time with the footballers. We practised our football skills through games. and we all came back muddy and happy. We were reminded that although it is good to win, it is also important to know how to lose without getting upset or cross.

    In maths we have been looking at division through sharing. We drew circles and shared numbers fairly between them. Some of us found using counters made the calculation easier. Please let us show you what we have learnt.

    In computing we have been looking at old technology and how it is different from what we use now. The class were amazed at how much a phone has changed, and we used to only use it for phone calls!

  • Challenge

    Published 11/10/24, by Jo Macrae

    We have been talking about how we can make our brains grow, its with challenge. When we make a mistake and then we work out the correct answer, our brains grow. When we choose a question that we find a challenge to answer, our brains grow. When we have done something challenging, we put our name on the poster.

    In maths we having been looking at multiplication. We have been counting forwards and backwards in 2s, 5s and 10s, some of us found this hard, so please can we practise this at home.

    This week we have been talking about how learning something new can be scary at first, but with practise it gets easier. Mrs Macrae told us that when we make a mistake and we learn from it, it actually makes our brain grow! 

    In maths we were learning that adding can be done in any order but subtraction can not. We also found that by spotting our bonds of ten when adding three numbers, made the calculation much easier. We played these games in school and thought you might like to try it at home.

    In writing we practised writing our tricky words, making sure we formed our letters correctly at the same time. The lists of words we need to be able to spell are attached at the bottom of this blog.

    We had fun doing PE outside with the hoops. We were learning to skip with them and then had a go at hula-hooping. It was amazing to see the progress within just one lesson.

    In Geography we looked at weather symbols and then watched a weather forecast to see them being used.

    We finished reading our latest class story book Esio Trot by Roald Dahl. We were surprised at the ending.
