Week beginning 04.02.19

Maths

We have been learning out to work out different fractions of amounts. It was definitely tricky but there was a big improvement over the week. In Active Maths on Friday everyone practised their multiplication and division, something which has been very important when working with fractions.

PE

This week we had the last session of golf. Pupils practised their putting, chipping and driving skills and loved the experience and expertise from the two visiting instructors.

Topic

In our Time Detective lessons we learnt about the difference between primary and secondary sources. To put the knowledge to the test, pupils made quizzes in groups for each other using Google Forms. Some of these are finished and can be tried out on Google Classroom.

We have also been learning about the Scottish wars of Independence and on Friday we acted out parts of the life of William Wallace. Even though some were disappointed to be playing English soldiers, everyone was very enthusiastic when acting out the various battles between and the English were very convincing when cheering for King Edward I and William Wallace’s gruesome death! We will continue learning this by learning more about Robert the Bruce and the Battle of Bannockburn.
