Maths
Primary 4-5 have been identifying areas in maths they feel could use a little more practice. We are going to use these to target some revision over the next few weeks.

 

Literacy

The class have been working with Miss Davie on some debating surrounding the popular story of ‘The Three Little Pigs’. https://www.literacyshed.com/3littlepigs.html?fbclid=IwAR05izKOMZ9ZiuTonn_Hh3ps7JQDUVBokPXhuLVppbrkFYKQTtEudr7az7c
As you can see it is not a clear-cut case! We have invited primary 2-3 to be our jury.
We have been looking at the structure of a discursive piece of writing and trying to follow the format. The class wrote a piece on ‘should primary school children wear school uniform?’. It was great to do this genre of writing alongside the debating as the children were well versed in the language used such as pro and con.

 

Health and Wellbeing
Hockey – the children have been developing their hockey skills this term in order to use these to play some games. We have covered passing and receiving, moving with the ball, getting past a player, tackling, and hitting and shooting.

 

Mindfulness/Art – The children have been experimenting with ‘zentangling’ a method of mindfulness and meditation that is explained like ‘purposeful doodling’. The children use black pens to create different patterns.

Music

Primary 4/5 have been writing their rap for the end of term assembly with Miss Davie. I read their lyrics and listened to them practice it last week and it is sounding fantastic – I will not give too much away by giving you any more information than that!
