Firstly, I want to say well done to all of the children, for doing so well with the Scottish Poems. They all did a really good job. It was really tricky to choose the 5 children that will go to Mrs Dalziel to say them again.

You might have heard children talking about our new topic for this term. We are having a history focus and looking at Aberdeen in the 20th Century. Children have been giving their ideas about what they would like to learn and find out about.  We had fun last week trying to organise photographs from the early, middle and late 1900’s. The themes were transport, buildings, people and toys. Children were also shown photographs of famous Scottish people from the 20th Century and had to try and name them and say why they were/are famous.

 

 

 

This week we were working on mapping skills and being able to mark off the countries in Britain on  a map. We then had to use an atlas to help us locate all of the Scottish cities, the North Sea and the Atlantic Ocean on our map.

In RME, we listened to the Christian Creation Story and had to complete a task about what happened on each of the 7 days. Over the next few weeks we are going to find out about The Creation story from other world religions and look for similarities and differences between them.

We have been working on our multiplication tables in maths.  It would be a great help if children could practise them regularly at home.  Some children are focusing on money and were discussing the difference between the goods and services that we pay for and the ways to look after and protect our money/valuables.  Children have also been focusing on chimney sums and borrowing in subtraction.

Have a great weekend!
