In St. Ninian’s we love to celebrate success both inside and outside the school. Riley was awarded two wonderful trophies for his success in dog handling and ice hockey. He received a medal and a trophy for his dog-handling skills (he handled his granddad’s German Shepherd) and a trophy for the fastest shot on his ice hockey team. We are all proud of you Riley, well done!

We visited Menzieshill library today to take out, renew and return books. We always enjoy our visit to the library, there is a huge selection of books to choose from! Visiting the library also helps us with our Reading Challenge. For every book we read, the librarian gives us a stamp! We all have different targets that we want to reach.

Over the past few weeks we’ve been learning lots about theatre in Ancient Greece. In Ancient Greek theatre, the actors wore masks. We decided to make our own masks showing different emotions. Here were the results!

On Thursday we all took part in Fit Thursday activities. We all know the importance of exercise as part of a healthy lifestyle. We participated in a variety of activities like parkour, korfball, curling and boxercise. We all had lots of fun! Check out the photos and videos from below.

We’ve been doing lots of great work in Maths and Numeracy this term…division, multiplication, shape, money…on Friday, we began looking at Measure. We’ve been learning how to use a ruler properly to measure things. We worked in pairs to find objects in the classroom that measured 5, 10, 15, and 20cm.

We have been practicing our short and long division over the last few weeks. We know how to write it out and also how to use blocks to show our learning.

We started off with a division calculation. We were told the answer (above the line) and the number we were dividing by (the number on the “step”). We had to use our knowledge of our times tables to figure out how many blocks to put in the middle!
