Monday 15th – Tuesday 23rd April, reported by Billie-Mae

In Science, we have been learning about liquids and solids and have been thinking about what is waterproof and what is not.

In Maths, we have been learning our 10 times table and also about money. The smallest size of coin is the 5p and the biggest is the 50p. The value coin is worth 1p and the highest £2. With Mrs Smart, we are learning about bar graphs.

We have been making a flower shop in our role play area. We did a vote and it was between a flower shop and a bank to go with our learning this term.

On Monday 22nd we welcomed back Miss Kennedy who will work with us for the next 5 weeks. We made Earth Art with her using cardboard, paint and printing techniques.

Wednesday 6th March – Tuesday 12th March, reported by Bellamy

We have been learning about the Stone Age and have been writing stories about it. In my story, someone fell and travelled back in time and met a girl called Om. She met their family and they hunted for a deer together. The boy and Om went into a cave and a Sabre Tooth Tiger appeared – the boy fell in shock and travelled back to normal time. He told his family but they didn’t believe him!

We have also been learning about dinosaur fossils. Did you know that the first dinosaur fossil found was a … poop! We have a lady coming to talk to us about this on Friday.

In Maths, we have been practising our times tables. My group have been doing the 5 x table. I like doing it in chimney sums as it makes it easier.

Wednesday 28th February – Tuesday 5th March, reported by Sandy

In Maths, we have been counting in 5’s and 2’s.

We were working with Nell’s mum to make medals out of clay linked to our topic. We put patterns on them using shells and tools.

We have been learning and writing about Woolly Mammoths. My favourite facts are that woolly mammoths are very big and have 2 long tusks.

We enjoyed ‘Break the Rules Day’ last Thursday – we had a bouncy castle in the hall! My favourite rule to pay to break was getting extra break – I played ‘tag’ outside in the break before lunch and had more bouncy castle time for the afternoon one.

Monday 19th – Tuesday 27th February, reported by Ember

We made Woolly Mammoths out of milk cartons because our topic is The Stone Age.

We have been making our own tools out of sticks including small paintbrushes. We then used these to paint patterns.

In writing, we have been planning and writing stories based on The Cave Baby by Julia Donaldson. My story is going to be about a Cave Baby and a Woolly Mammoth.

Happy New Year everyone!

This week we have been looking at our family tartans and have been writing and drawing them. We have learned lots of doric words such as hoose, moose, loons and quines and fit like?

We have been making up our own Loch of Skene Monsters. We wrote about them in doric using lots of describing words!

“My monster had 4 arms and spikes all over his body”. (Ramsey)

“My monster had wings with tiny red spot on it. It also had 2 red horns.” (Bella)

We joined P4/5 for PE on Monday and the P5’s taught us some new games. Our favourite was Pizza Tag!

w/c 27th November, reported by Robyn

This week we have been learning about different shapes like the circles, stars and ovals.

We finished our writing about our leaf creature characters and now they are up on the wall.

We started practising for our nativity, The Sleepy Shepherd. I am an angel. I have been practising my line at home. We have lots of songs to learn.

w/c 20th November, reported by Oscar

In Spelling, my group were learning about double letters – zz, ll, ss and ff.

We wrote about the leaf creatures that we made last week. My creature was called Tilly the Turtle – the ‘ttt’ in the title is an example of alliteration.

In Science, we are continuing our learning about mosquitoes – the ones we have to look at are dead(thankfully)!

In Maths, we have started a new topic on shape. This week our focus has been on 2d shapes – they are the ones that are flat like rectangles, circles and triangles. Not spheres though because they are not a circle but a ball so they are 3D.

w/c 6th November, reported by Bellamy

This week, we made leaf creatures and used these for our writing. We had to think of lots of adjectives to describe them. Our challenge was to use alliteration.

We had assembly on Tuesday with Rev Stella and Callum about Remembrance. On Thursday, we created our very own poppy pictures using our pinkies and thumbs.
