<\/p>\nLiteracy<\/u><\/p>\n
Primary 4-5 have finished their final persuasive pieces of writing and we worked on a \u2018final draft\u2019 for these. They wrote a first draft which they checked against our steps to success and then edited it until they were happy that it was their best version!<\/p>\n
The class are now learning about the features of a newspaper article and familiarising themselves by reading these before creating their own.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Modern Languages<\/u><\/p>\n
P4-5 have been busy with both Spanish with Miss Davie and French with Miss Riley. In French, we are learning to give our opinion on different foods by saying \u2018I like\/dislike\u2026because\u2026\u2019<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
In Spanish, the class have been creating amazing comic strips while learning about Spanish greetings and asking \u2018how are you?\u2019<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Numeracy<\/u><\/p>\n
The class have been working on Addition\/Subtraction and have now moved on to multiplication and this will be followed closely by division. P4-5 practice their times tables every week for our \u2018morning challenge\u2019 (forwards, backwards and jumbled up) and this has had such a positive impact on their solving of multiplication problems as we got off to a flying start!<\/p>\n
We are trying to find rules for our tables to make remembering them and using them easier for us.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Topic<\/u><\/p>\n
The children really enjoyed our Scottish Geography and Landscape topic and finished off by making PowerPoint presentations after doing research about flooding in Scotland.<\/p>\n
This term, our topic is inheritance so the children may come home asking questions about why they have blonde hair or are left-handed!<\/p>\n

Health and Wellbeing<\/u><\/p>\n
The class participated in a BBC live lesson for anti-bullying week and we identified the 6 roles that can be adopted in a bullying situation and what we can do to help \u2013 or ensure we don\u2019t take on one of these roles without even realising we have!<\/p>\n
In PE this term, the class are doing a block of fitness and we have been doing circuits. The children are working for one minute with a 45 second rest and trying to perfect their form or increase their reps each time. We are tracking our progress each lesson and the children love seeing their improvements each week!<\/p>\n
