Writing

In writing this week we have written the build-up and dilemma of our very own novel. They’re looking amazing.

Mental Maths

This week in mental maths we have been looking at dividing and multiplying by 10, 100 and 1,000 mentally. We have been doing this by moving the numbers that we were dividing a number of places to the right or the left.

VCOP

In VCOP this week we have been looking at where to put commas into our sentences to develop our use of punctuation.

IDL

A representative of the Scottish Parliament came in to teach us about Scottish politics. We held a debate and acted out what it would be like to pass and motion a bill. We also got into political parties and campaigned for votes.

Health and wellbeing

In health and wellbeing this week we learnt about the brain, we were taught about prefrontal cortex, Hippocampus and the Amygdala. The prefrontal cortex helps you think then the hippocampus stores all your memories and the amygdala controls your immediate reactions.

Writing

In writing this week we have been told we are writing our own book. This session we had to write a character description for our stories.

Science

This week in science we were learning about growth of a plant and why they are so important. We have also been learning about photosynthesis, seed dispersal, fertilisation, germination and pollination. We learned that we are more similar to plants, and without them in our life we wouldn’t be living right now!

ICT

In ICT this week we were using Excel to plan our tour guide company and had to plan the destination and how many miles between each destination. We also had to use a formula to change it in km.

Ask us about what we did in IDL, P.E., VCOP, RME, Reading, Art, Mental Maths and Maths.
