During literacy we wrote postcards and diary entries from a soldiers perspective. We looked at what information we would want to send home to our families compared to being honest in our diaries. This is developing our learning looking at writing personal accounts and writing informal letters.

We have also been looking at creating similes and metaphors and we will be continuing to include these in our writing next week.

In numeracy we have been looking at multiplication. We started multiplying by 10, 100 and 1000. We moved onto looking at written methods of multiplying 2 digit numbers.

We had a visit from The Royal Highland Educational Trust who came to show us how to make bread. We used the wheat that we had planted last year in the garden and made two types of bread.

As well as our bread making session, we also started our chanter lessons. We all have our own chanter and we started to learn how to play a couple of notes. We will have a lessons every week and are looking forward to learning more.
