This week was the final week of our ‘Stop the Press’ topic which was about World War One. We did this because it has been 100 years since world war one ended. We learnt about how it started, inventions, animals, people, and how they got people to join the army.

As well as doing  I.D.L we have also been doing our term 2 targets which we will look back on at the end of term 2. We will be trying our best all term to achieve these. 

A few of us shared some stories or information about WW1.

In art we did poppy art  in order to remember the 17 million troops who died.

In VCOP we have been learning about relative clauses, these add more description to our writing . For example Jonny was a boy, who was very naughty. We also learnt about expanded noun phrases . For example;

The thief.

The thief who was small.

The thief who was small, took the phone

In mental maths  we learnt about multiplying decimals by a single digit number. For example,

4.03 x 6 = 24.18

In writing we did poems-we could choose between kennings, rhyming couplets or a narrative.  We wrote about animals in World War One and how it affected them.

Our pupil council reps have been busy gathering our feedback about various issues.

Please feel free to leave comments.

This week..

IDL

This week we have started our new topic, it is World War 1. We have been doing many activities throughout this topic, such as learning about what life would be like and where they would live. We have learned about the main aspects of what happened in those years. Also about the main weapons used!

HWB

This week we have had health and well-being , we have a new student teacher, Miss Kaur who gave us an awesome lesson, to get to know each other better. Some of the activities were fortune tellers, drawing a picture of yourself in the present and in the future, a questionnaire on her, and lastly a game of would you rather.

VCOP

In VCOP we were learning about relative clauses, we got given a sentence and we had to find the noun in it and write a bit more description about that noun.

E.g. The penguin, who was very cold, threw the snowball.

FRENCH

In French on Thursday Madam Shepard brought in her student teacher from France, who came here to come to Aberdeen University, who told us all about life in France and some differences between French schools and ours.

E.g. In France their schools start at 8:00 and finish at 5:00 but here we start at 9:00 and finish at 3:15

ICT

During ICT this week we were learning how to do touch typing on the computer. We got taught how to use 10 fingers. As well as that we also saw how many words we could type in a minute – we will be trying to improve throughout the term to see if we can beat our own scores!
