Our learning this week

Here are some photographs of us developing our skills through our independent learning opportunities and experiences this week. Please take time to share these photographs with your child so they can share their learning with you.

Literacy focus

Our focus this week was on sharing our talks. All pupils were well prepared and spoke confidently to the class about their favourite place – we heard about so many different interesting places; bedrooms/homes, the family room, the cinema, Mauritius, North Berwick, Nethybridge, Turkey, ballet class, Legoland, London, Cousins’ house, Dollar Burn, Blairdrummond, the beach, the park, the swimming pool, Tenerife, Deep sea world and even the Dentist. Still a few more talks to share next week. Well done everyone.

We have completed our SNSA tests.

.

Other areas of the curriculum

In PE we continued our block of athletics ( run. jump, throw) and began to learn about shoulder and arm strength and different throwing techniques.

We are learning about Looking after living things and the lifecycle of caterpillars.

Looking ahead to next week

Health week activities, including trip to the woods on Tuesday and loose parts learning on Friday.

Children should come to school every day in sports clothes ( no football kit ) and prepared to learn indoors and out in any weather. If your child’s indoor shoes are ‘school’ shoes, it would be great if they could bring in some trainers or gym shoes next week for indoors as the hard soled school shoes are not always suitable for indoor sporting activities ( not buying anything new at this time of term obviously – just something for indoors next week would be great )

‘Homework’ ( things to practice at home)

Play this game. Choose addition or subtraction and then set your level of challenge – there are lots of options to try !

Use our class spelling city page to play games which will help you to learn to spell our block one and two tricky words. Follow this link and then choose the list you would like to practise.
