P3S have enjoyed watching the BBC live lesson about the oceans this week.  We have learned about how humans are spoiling the oceans with plastic and how climate change is causing sea levels to rise.  We have also learned what we can do to protect the sea.

This week’s spelling words are:

Have a great holiday and see you in two weeks!

This week we have been practising our times tables.  We have been applying our knowledge of 2, 3, 4, 5, and 10 times tables.  We have learned what a square number is and used rhymes to help us to remember.

We went to the P4 sharing of learning assembly and learned all about the vikings.  We learned a viking clap and enjoyed listening to the songs.  We learned the vikings were alive in the year 1000 and we learned about what they used to wear and that they made their houses out of wood and the roof was straw.

We have been learning about electricity.  We know that electricity is the movement of electrons.  We know that it can be dangerous and how to stay safe.  We know that you shouldn’t put batteries in your mouth!  Electrical energy can be changed to light, heat and sound energy.  We have learned that it is bad to get electricity by burning coal and oil, but that solar and wind energy is better for the planet.

We shared our learning about William Wallace.  We performed in a play with Alasdair as King Edward and Ruairi as William Wallace.   We were on William Wallace’s side!  Mrs Morton taught us a victory dance which we imagined the Scottish dancing after the Battle of Stirling Bridge.  There were a lot of people who wanted to be King of Scotland but King Edward chose John Balliol.  Unfortunately John Balliol got arrested and imprisoned in the Tower of London so William Wallace had to take over the job of Guardian of Scotland.  After Wallace was betrayed and killed, Robert the Bruce became king and Scotland won its FREEDOM!
