This term we having being learning about famous Dundee citizens past and present. We have also been exploring biographies and their different features. This week we have been researching and making notes about Mary Slessor. We organised the main events from her life in a biography and then evaluated our worked. Miss Douglas marked our working using our school marking codes and we made changes to our biographies as we typed them! We used some other skills in ICT such as copying and pasting images and saving and retrieving documents. Our biographies turned out really well!

Over the last few weeks we have been learning to show and find fractions. To finish the unit, Miss Douglas set up a competition for us on Sumdog to allow us to demonstrate our knowledge of fractions. We had to use our new skills to complete games and earn points.

Well done to Logan and Zoe who answered the most questions correctly! 😊

This week we have been continuing to learn about fractions. We can now write fractions correctly and show fractions within shapes. We can work out equivalent fractions and find a fraction of an anount. On Thursday we played some different fraction games which allowed us to demonstrate our new fraction knowledge and have some fun!

We have been taking part in the Play Champs Programme for 8 weeks now. In week 7 we decided on some of our favourite games to teach to another class and on Friday P2 joined us for the afternoon. We demonstrated and explained the rules of each game before playing with Primary 2. They were able to follow our instructions and play all 4 games. The Play Champ leaders and Miss Douglas were extremely impressed with how we cooperated with each other to lead the activities and also with how we encouraged and cared for the younger pupils during the session. 😊
