Week 7 - jellyfish and money

We love playing with technic lego in Golden Time. We create lots of different models and machines.

Some people enjoy doing craft in Golden Time. Can you guess what we're making?

We'll put photos on the blog of these when they're finished!

In maths we're still working on money. We're learning about the different coins and notes.

We're practising working out change.

We practise buying things and giving change in the smoothie shop or the P3 and P3/4 shop.

P4 have been problem solving with money. Some of us are very proud of how we did!

We're busy preparing for our class assembly. We've been researching lifeboats ...

... and building our own one.

Mrs MacNab has been really enjoying 'Coastal Show and Tell'. We've had some great things in - like these giant mermaid's purses...

... and Hector the hermit crab!

It's nearly time for the school sports day - so we've been practising. This is our trials for the relay race.

We're hoping we get good weather for sports day.

The term is flying by....

That's the first 4 weeks of summer term already over, the time seems to be flying by.

We're really enjoying our topic - coasts. Here we are researching using books, trying to find out more information about some of the plants and animals which live around our coast.

What do you think you would see in a kelp forest?

We got the digital microscope set up on Friday afternoon (Mrs MacNab was very glad of having such expert helpers). It's really exciting! We can magnify things like sand and shells to 60x their normal size. We're going to be using it again next week and we'll try to take close-up photos of the sand and post them for everyone to see.

We're doing money in maths at the moment. A good way of practising using money and giving change is by having a class shop. We made our own smoothie shop this week. Which one would you like to buy?

It was lovely and sunny on Friday afternoon so we got to do PE outside. We're hoping we get more chances to go outside this term - keep your fingers crossed that the weather is good for us.

 Did you know that you can click on the photos to see them a bit bigger?

Money, money, money

We're doing money in maths at the moment. Here we are playing money bingo.

We enjoy playing games on the whiteboard too.

Some people helped set up the shop. Now we'll be able to go shopping and practise buying things and giving change. We'll have to work out what we can afford to buy. We wonder how much money Mrs MacNab will let us spend.

We've done lots of other things this week too.

This isn't music (though we look like a choir) - it's actually drama.

Here we are practising our spelling words.

We're doing SRA reading comprehension. Most people love it!

We looked up information about coasts, watched some videos of waves creating coastal features like caves and found out what sand is made of. We started making our own sand too.

We practised our passing skills in football.

In Golden Time we had lots of fun!  What would you choose to do?

(We made these things and took all the photos ourselves too.)
