Happy New Year! I hope you had a lovely festive break.

Numeracy

Our first numeracy topics this term are Money and Decimals.  The children will focus on Money on a Monday and Tuesday and then focus on Decimals at the end of the week.

In Decimals we have been focusing on the place value of the digits and what these mean.  We have been playing some games to help us understand this.  We are also moving on to rounding and adding Decimals.

 

       

 

Reading

We have been working with Mearns Academy Library to increase our personal reading opportunities. We have started to use the Libby App to download digital readers and audiobooks, which we are enjoying in class.  Any family is welcome to get their own card from the Mearns Library, if they would like to access the App. too.

 

World War II

Our project this term will be World War II.  The children have planned the activities that they would like to look at.  We have started the project off by looking at how and why the war started, looking at The Treaty of Versailles.  We have discussed some of the famous wartime Leaders.
