Welcome to our class page! We aim to update this page each term to showcase our learning, celebrate progress and share highlights from the classroom.
Term 1
The class started off the term well by taking time to get to know the class routines and expectations, helping everyone feel settled and confident. Together, the pupils created our classroom charter, agreeing on the values and behaviours that will help to build a positive and supportive learning experience for everyone.
Building on this, the pupils learned about the six principles of nurture and explored what they look like in our classroom. The pupils came up with great ideas for how to show kindness, understanding and respect to each other so that our class is a place where everyone feels valued and ready to learn.
This term, we focused on our first meta-skill of the month, collaborating. The class took part in an online assembly to learn more about how working together, listening carefully and valuing ideas is important for achieving shared goals. As part of this, the kids worked together to create a “human orchestra” and they were really pleased with their end result! This was a great activity for showing how cooperation, communication and teamwork are so important for creating something successful together.
The class were fully engaged in their topic this term, Invaders, where they learned about groups such as the Vikings, the Anglo-Saxons and the Romans. The pupils enjoyed discovering how these groups lived, why they came to Britain and the impact they had on history. We were lucky enough to go on a trip to the National Museum of Scotland to take part in a hands-on Roman workshop. The trip was great and gave the children the opportunity to explore real artefacts and deepen their understanding on life in Roman times.
Here is the Term 1 class connect to tell you a little bit more about the learning for the block.
