Learning about Caroll diagrams

And a different Carroll diagram

We have been continuing to learn about shapes.  The new ones we learned today are the pentagon with 5 sides and the hexagon with six sides.  Today we were also making patterns with different shapes.

We have also been starting to learn about how to do adding sums to 20.  Some of us think it has been quite tricky.

Mrs Gibson was at netball yesterday and Mrs Byrne did writing with us about going to the zoo.  She thought this one was really good:

I went to the zoo.  At the zoo I saw jumping zebras and slipping penguins.  I got there in a car.  It was good fun looking at the animals.

 

We have been learning about 2D and 3D shapes.  We did different activities in groups today about them.  We find it difficult to remember the sphere, cuboid, cylinder, cone and the triangle.  We will need to keep practising!

We have been learning odd and even numbers.  Some of us think that has been tricky.  We keep playing games to beat the clock.  The odd numbers are 1, 3, 5, 7 and. The even numbers are 0, 2, 4, 6, 8.  Could someone help us practise these up to the number 40.

We are learning how to organise a wedding.  We have made lists in groups of all the things we need to do and we are deciding who is going to be in the wedding party.  As a class we emailed the minister to ask for help in getting the service ready.  We hope you really dress up on the day!

Fruit tasting

After our assembly yesterday on healthy eating Mrs Gibson prepared lots of fruits for us to try and we made smoothies.

The fruits we tasted were:

kiwi, mango, pineapple, lychees and blueberries.    The favourite was mango.  Mrs Gibson says she is very proud of all of the people who tried things even though they were not sure if they were going to like them and even more if they kept trying things even though they hadn’t liked the last one.  We had a napkin in case we really didn’t like something.

We had a piece of paper and wrote the fruits on it and a smiley, a not sure or a sad face for whether we liked the fruits or not.

Next we tried we tried two different smoothies that Mrs Gibson made after we chose the fruit to put in.  The first one was banana and strawberrry and the second was orange, raspberries, banana and mango.  Mrs Gibson used skimmed milk, water, ice and natural yogurt (less sugar!) to mix with the fruit.

This covers a little of the Curriculum for Excellence experience and outcome:  

I enjoy eating a diverse range of foods in a variety of social situations

Mrs Gibson has enjoyed hearing how some boys and girls are trying to eat more fruit and vegetables, checking food labels and even making their families switch from white to brown bread!

Thank you to everyone who came to our assembly.

Is chocolate good for you?

Chocolate is not very good for you as it sticks into your teeth and it has lots of sugar in it.  We should only have it for a treat, and so that means not every day!!!!!  Instead we should be eating five pieces of fruit and veg a day.

Miss Moore came in today and told us another story about Jesus.  We are learning stories about caring and sharing from the bible.  Another story that was also about sharing was The Rainbow Fish.

In maths we have been doing our numbers to 100.  We have been using number lines to help us and tried to make our own hundred square.

A big big thank you to Lewis and Emma and their parents for bringing in wedding pictures.  We enjoyed looking at them.
