We're very happy to be back to school after the holidays (I think!). We have been deepening our Literacy knowledge a lot throughout the day. So far, we have been working on using speech marks. We worked to create a comic strip with speech bubbles, this then helped us identify which part of the sentence should go inside the speech marks. Some of us came up with some funny conversations! 

Additionally, we have also been developing our poetry skills. We have explored a range of poems and had a go at writing our own! Similarly, we have been linking our learning to the real world by learning some Scottish Poems in the run up to Burns Day. Ask us and we might be brave enough to share them with you at home. 

Wow! What a busy start to the year we have had. We have all been developing a range of skills throughout Numeracy and Mathematics. Some of us have been expanding our knowledge of symmetry by looking at regular polygons and irregular polygons. We have also been exploring our environment and using mirrors to help us find objects with a certain number of lines of symmetry. We had lots of fun doing this! As well as this, we have been learning how to create our own surveys online and display our data on a spreadsheet. 

Next, some of us have been developing our knowledge of multiplication and division. We have learned a range of strategies that we can use to help us when completing these calculations. We really enjoy writing on the tables!

Finally, some of us have been exploring measure. We have been using a range of different materials to help us measure the height, length and weight of objects. We can identify the different unit of measurements and select the correct tool to measure an object. Miss McLauchlan is very proud of us!
