The Haven

This week, we have been working hard at using a range of strategies such as counting on & back, number bonds and facts of 20 and above, numicon and number lines to help us solve number process questions, in particular Addition ⭐️

In the Haven, we love using our imagination and creative skills, working together to create a range of fantastic things ⭐️

Using the pointillism technique in Art this afternoon, we successfully created our own Poppy for Remembrance Day

This afternoon for Science we explored materials that dissolved. Using the skittles, we correctly predicted that the skittles would “release its colour”. We developed our knowledge and understanding of how the sugar dissolves into the water ⭐️

This afternoon we created fabulous firework pictures using a range of different materials such as chalk and glitter. Then for Food Technology we made (edible) sparklers using breadsticks 🎆🎇

⭐️ Exploring Capacity- Measurement ⭐️

We used different sized containers to measure and estimate the amount of liquid each one could hold.

Using the scales and measuring jug we developed our knowledge and understanding of the units of measure for capacity ⭐️

For our Talk For Writing we used our innovative skills to change the context of the story ⭐️

Well done to B for achieving the Head Teacher’s Award! ☺️⭐️

Enjoying our Haven breakfast this morning and working together to create fantastic things with the Lego ⭐️ @mrf-stp.bsky.social @mrsd-stp.bsky.social

Happy Halloween from the Haven 🎃

We have had a “spooktacular” day from baking monster cupcakes to dooking for apples.

Have a lovely weekend and evening trick or treating! 👻🎃

A creative afternoon using our problem solving skills to carve and design our pumpkin 🎃

These are fantastic photos! Looks like you all had fun, thanks for sharing ☺️

Our fabulous spooky Hallowe’en paintings have turned out amazing! 🎃

L did a fantastic job at using the story map to help him retell How To Trap A Dragon.

Well done L! ⭐️

We explored visualisation of the character the Dragon from our Talk For Writing story. We looked at the structure of the story and “boxed it up” from the beginning to the end.
We then familiarised ourselves with the story map ⭐️

We explored different instruments of measure to help us weigh different objects.
The Haven used good mathematical language to describe the weight of the objects ⭐️

Showing off our fantastic creative and recycling skills this afternoon, by designing brilliant costumes using cardboard boxes and other materials! ⭐️

Another lovely week in the Haven exploring all things Autumn 🍂

Well done to R for achieving the Head Teacher’s Award ⭐️

Well done to C for achieving our Star Of The Week ⭐️

Have a lovely weekend 😊

We enjoyed working on STEM activities with Miss Doak this afternoon!

Lots of creative ideas and imagination this afternoon using various materials such as building a camper van using Lego and a replica of Godzilla from cardboard boxes ⭐️

This morning we were caught by surprise when we entered the Haven after break and met with a mysterious set footprints, scales and a letter.
The letter asked us to help write a set of instructions based on how to trap this creature. We guessed what our new writing topic is….and the creature!! 🐉✏️

Unfortunately our Open Morning tomorrow will be cancelled. We will be in touch with a new date for this soon.

Today, we enjoyed an Autumn walk looking at the changes within nature. We then collected different coloured and shaped leaves and created beautiful wreathes 🍁🍂

Another great week in the Haven ⭐️:

Showcasing our engineering skills by inventing structural objects using only marshmallows and spaghetti for STEM. Ordering/sequencing numbers, practising our new Spelling phoneme sounds and enjoying another lovely snack each afternoon. Have a lovely weekend 😊

Developing our balance and coordination skills for PE this morning through completing various coordination circuits🏃‍♂️

Some very creative ways at practising our Spelling words today in the Haven 🤩⭐️

This morning we have worked super hard working together to solve a daily numeracy challenge for Maths Week Scotland ⭐️

⭐️ Measurement ⭐️

This morning we have been developing our understanding of what measurement is, the tools we use to measure length and height and how to measure using both non standard and standard units ⭐️

We all enjoy our music rotation afternoons. We have been exploring lots of different instruments and how they are played. 🎶🎵🎹🥁🎸🪈 @haven-stp.bsky.social @stpatricksep.bsky.social

Another great week was had:
From exploring our senses in Science, indoor Yoga to looking at various ways to measure length.
Have a lovely weekend 😊
