Hello, welcome back to our blog. It’s a beautiful spring day here in Dundee, we hope it’s a lovely day where ever you are!

We have been writing about our pig, the 4th little pig, this week. Last week we had decided on some describing words for our pig. This week we used those words and wrote two sentences about our pig.

              

We also had to decide what our pigs favourite food, colour and sport would be. We were given a choice of 6 foods, 6 colours and 6 sports and we had to write a sentence about each one.

              

We then made a bar graph of all our choices to see which was the most popular and which was the least popular. Actually, we made two bar graphs, one for food, one for colour. We haven’t managed to complete the graph with our sports choice yet.

              

As well as gathering  information and recording it on a graph, we have also continued with subtraction and revisited adding. We have been doing sheets with both adding and subtraction sums on to see if it would catch us out…we’re far too smart for that!

We also talked about our pigs personality. This was quite hard for us to write down so we decided to act it out in drama. We had to walk  around and pretend we were sad. That meant that we moved around slowly and our heads were bowed. We then had to change and walk around pretending to be really happy. This time we had our heads up, a smile on our face and some of us were walking with a swagger. Lastly we had to pretend to be really excited. This time we skipped and moved much more quickly, some of us swung our arms from side to side. We had to act out these emotions without using our voices. It’s really very tricky to show how we are feeling by just moving our bodies in different ways.
