ICT

We were enjoying Google Maps. We were trying to make our own castle using Colour Magic. We could choose between Google Maps and Colour Magic. We had to use what we have learned to make sure our castles were realistic. On Google Maps we were continuing to look at Scottish castles all over Scotland.

Topic

We had to find Crathes Castle and other Scottish Castles on a map of Scotland. We had to use an atlas to do this. We were locating lots of Scottish castles including Edinburgh, Drum Castle and Dunnottar Castle. This was a hard task because we had to use lots of different maps.

Maths

This week we have been learning about tiling and we needed to remember all of our learning about 2D shapes. We had to cut out shapes and draw around them in our jotters to see if they could tile or not. Then we could colour them in to make a design. We discovered circles and shapes with curved edges did not tile.

We also got to go outside and work with a partner to look for examples of tiling in the playground. When we found something we had to note it down on our clipboard. When we came back inside, we shared our shapes and findings with the rest of the class. When we came back inside, we shared our shapes and findings with the rest of the class.

Problem Solving

For problem solving we had to think very carefully in case we got anything wrong and if it was right we could mark our work. We had to try and get all of the ice creams with different flavours on them. There was vanilla, mint, strawberry and chocolate. We also had to colour in the flavours on the cones. We needed to try and make the cones in a bit of an order to make sure we had all flavours. We went over the answers as a class on the whiteboard.

Music

We were learning about how to play musical instruments and how to play rhythms on the instruments. We were playing ta and rest and ta-te notes. We had to drum or shake or ting out a rhythm! We went to the GP so that we could play the instruments. We got into little groups and we had rhythm cards which we had to play in our little orchestra! We needed to be able to say the rhythms and we also made our own rhythms.
