We are authors

We've had a great first week back after half term. We've enjoyed sharing our Home Learning - it looks like we all had lots of fun in the holiday.

This week, we finished the work we were doing about Katie Morag, by planning and writing our own story about her. We had so much to remember when we were writing - as well as full stops and capital letters, we thought about Wow words (adjectives) and joining words (conjunctions). We also thought carefully about our spelling and handwriting.... We wrote some great stories, with Katie Morag having all sorts of adventures.

She had a birthday - Chrisanthi
She went to school in England -Ross

In Creative Writing, we used all of our story writing skills again. This time we could write a story about anything we wanted. We all thought this was very exciting and Mrs McLellan is looking forward to reading them all.
My story is about Rugby - Harry
Mine is about the tooth fairy -Evie
There's a magic key in my story - James

This week in maths, we've been using everything we've learnt about adding and taking away to solve problems. We have been learning to do jottings to help us solve the problems- this means drawing marks or small pictures.

In Topic this week, we've been learning about Poland.
The capital is Warsaw - Thomas
Around Christmas it is -4 degrees

We continued our learning about Poland at Woodlands, where we worked together to make bright flowers.
They are used at Easter in Poland - Sophia
We also looked for signs of winter at Woodlands.
It was very cold - Tome
There are brown, scrunched leaves on the floor- Sam

This week, Indie has been given the Star Award for showing a real love of learning- especially in her writing. Very well done, Indie.

Our Learning Owl this week is Poppy. She works hard and tries her best with everything. She is always kind, polite and a great role model. Well done, Poppy. Have a great weekend with Snowy!

Next week is Book Week. Our Home Learning is to do some different reading activities- we could record some of these in our Home Learning Book.

We can bring our favourite book in on Monday, that we will have chance to read throughout the week.

On Friday, we also need to bring in a cushion (if we have one) as we are having a whole school read.
