Postcard Project

A walk in the sunshine to post our cards.

We have joined a new postcard project where we can send and receive postcards all around the world.

It was started By Mrs Leakey and her class in New Zealand. Click here to go to her class blog and read more about it.

We started receiving postcards very quickly after we had joined the project. So far, we have had postcards from our friends at Burravoe PS in Shetland, Hawaii and other American states, Canada and Australia.

Today, we posted cards back to all these classes and some more to those on the list such as Russia and New Zealand.

Some of the postcards we have been sent.

We used all this postcard activity to discuss the ways in which postcards differ from letters and looked at the layout and features of a postcard. We practised writing postcards to tell people all about Arbroath.

This postcard was to the band AC/DC.

Skittle Graphing

We continued practising our maths and graphing skills by counting the contents of a packet of skittles. 

 We worked in pairs to sort the skittles by colour and put the results into a table.  We then drew a graph, using everything we had learned about drawing a graph correctly such as labelling it correctly. 

When we had finished, we got to eat the skittles! Â
