It has been wonderful to welcome our P4/5 children back to school. The children have been very excited to be back at school. We have had a lot of class discussions on the good and bad points of lockdown and returning to school and the clear winner was being back at school!
Maths: This week we have returned to addition and subtraction in maths to ensure the children have a sound understanding. We will continue with addition and subtraction until the end of this term.
Literacy: We continue to read the class novel, “The Elsewhere Emporium”. We will be writing some creative stories based on this novel next week.
We have also had a look at debates around topical issues. This week the children voted to discuss racism and wrote an essay to explain what they understood racism to be.
Science: We continue with our Friday science afternoon and today the children were looking at the effect of gravity on an egg. The children designed a protective cocoon for the egg and they were dropped from a height of around 6 feet onto the playground. Two out of 6 egg survived, well done to all the groups, there were lots of great ideas!
