Active Maths

Primary 2 have been learning all about odd and even numbers and have had lots of fun doing all of the active tasks Miss Lochhead set them.
Primary 3 have had the challenge of learning how to divide items into equal groups and also use their multiplication knowledge to solve division problems. All of the children have loved the challenge of this and have had great fun using the new Heinemann Active games we us in Room 10. Some of us even completed three pages in our maths jotters! Keep up the good work Room 10! :)

Active Language

Room 10 have been enjoying learning all about literacy in various ways, but one of our favourite ways to learn our spelling words, our grammar and comprehension, is through taking part in active activities. Take a look at some of the fun things we have been doing to learn. Our favourite activities are plasticine spelling and the Oxford Reading Tree board games!

Drama

As you know, Room 10 were taking part in the drama ‘The Giant who threw tantrums’ and because they enjoyed it so much Miss Lochhead let us decided what happened at the end of the story. With our writing partners we made up our own ending to the drama. Have a look at some of them below.

Polish Traditions

The children in Room 10 were very interested in finding out about the traditions, not only in Scotland, but also in other countries around the world. We are very lucky to have Maja in our class who was born in Poland! We invited Maja’s mum to come into our class to tell us all about Poland. We had a fantastic afternoon and learned so much from Maja’s mum. She told us all about some famous Poles and taught us some Polish words. The best part of the afternoon was getting to taste some Polish food! Room 10 particularly enjoyed the Polish chocolate and sausages but not everyone was a fan on the Sauerkraut! We want to thank Maja’s mum very much for teaching us all about Poland, we had a great time!

Scottish Ceilidh

To bring our fantastic Scotland topic to an end, Room 10 got together with the children from Room 8 and 9 and had a wonderful time taking part in our Scottish Afternoon! Firstly we had a ceilidh where we danced the Canadian Barn Dance, the Gay Gordons (and a new favourite!)Strip the Willow! Mrs Coyle and Miss Lochhead were very impressed with the children's dancing, as was Mrs Gray. We had lots of fun but it didn't stop there. We all went back up to Room 10 and tasted some traditional Scottish food and traffic lighted how we enjoyed it all. Most of us really enjoyed the shortbread and the raspberries! A fun afternoon was had by all and everyone really enjoyed learning all about Scotland. Have a look at some pictures below.
