Science

In science this week we taught the P1s about how to wash their hands we did three stations.The first station was we had to show them a video or a song about how to wash your hands thoroughly and in different ways! The second station was you had to rub oil on your hands then wash them but you could not get it of so you had to use special soap (cinnamon) and the oil would come straight of their hands. station three they had to get a piece of bread and rub it and touch it with dirty hands so microorganisms would grow and they are going to find out after the easter holidays maybe mould would grow on it.

Rights Respecting Schools

Two P7  boys chose to do a talk on Noruz which a celebration they participate in as part of the Islamic religion.

Maths

This week in maths on Wednesday and Thursday had maths in our own classrooms because of a visit, which is Homefront History. On Wednesday we did a candle box challenge where we had to make a box which had a hexagon top and bottom and rectangle sides  which 1 had a thumb hole to open – we all enjoyed working in 2s and 3s to make these creations. On Thursday we did a murder mystery where in 2s we had a poly pocket of clues, in the end everyone enjoyed maths this week!

French

French this week was improving our dictionary skills by which Madame Shepard  gave all of us a sheet between 2 and a dictionary to get the meanings of the words in English some of the words we went over the past week -in the end most of us  got them done

Reading

This week in reading we have been reading and be doing tasks on chapters 11 and 12 in Boy in Striped Pajamas. It was 2 chapters which wanted to make you read on-like all of the others. John Boyne has been very clever and made us remember about the start of the book and ended ch11 with the same sentence as the 1st chapter’s start – everyone of us loved reading this week.

Tuesday 26/02/19  Writing/ VCOP

In the morning everyone planned a story ready to enter the BBC 500 words challenge. Uniqueness was a key success criteria, along with a clear plot all adding up to a maximum of 500 words. Everyone successfully started a plan and were soon writing down all their crazy ideas down in their jotters or on a computer. We are now roughly half way through writing them, they will be submitted to BBC’s 500 word judges soon.

Tuesday 26/02/19 Music

Later on that day we went to music with Miss Cowan – our music teacher – and started with categories, everyone’s favourite warmup, soon after we continued to learn the words to  ‘Keep the Home Fires Burning’ and ‘ We’ll meet again’ , which are well known songs used during WW2 to boost morale. Beforehand we revised the things that we had previously learned about Vera Lynn and Glenn Miller along with the Glenn Miller Orchestra.
