This week we have been learning about money in maths. We were multiplying, dividing, adding and subtracting amounts of money. We had to remember to set out carefully in columns with the decimal point in the correct place. We also have to remember to put the £ sign or p for pence.

We have also been looking at negative numbers, linked to the weather. Watch a video here and take the quiz to test yourself.

In Literacy we have been working on our poems for next week. We have also learned a Burns poem, which we will perform together at our Burns event. We heard some Scottish myths and legends and created fact files about the creatures found in them. Alongside this we created artwork of our chosen creature. These included Kelpies,Selkies, Nessie, Wulver and Redcaps.

In PE we have been practising the Virginia Reel. We taught it to the P1-4 pupils. It was fun dancing with them.

We did an experiment to look into the properties of materials. We wrapped mini snowmen in different things and watched to see which one melted first. We found out that some materials acted as an insulator which slowed down the melting process. We also looked at snow under a microscope.

We talked about patterns and loops in coding and looked at Isle of Tune. We made some fun  music using this.

On Friday afternoon we made bird feeders and hung them in the playground. We think the birds will enjoy their feast this weekend!
