In this section of our blog we will be showing you what we have been learning during Term 1. It has been great to be back at school and we will love sharing our learning with you.

Literacy

I have really been enjoying reading an extremely fascinating book about WW2 called Friend or Foe by Michael Morpurgo. I find it has good language and really good detail. I always get engrossed when I am reading I feel like my eyes are glued to the book. By Chloe.

     

Maths

In Maths we have been learning about fractions, we have been learning how to simplify and turn fractions in to mixed numbers. We always try our hardest and work at our own stage. In the morning we start off with a little mental maths carousel, every day each group is either at Number Talks, Sumdog or Mental Agility By Lily B.

I have enjoyed Maths because we have been doing mental agility, sumdog, simplifying fractions and many other things you could name. I enjoy maths mostly because it helps you think more and get stuff in to your head and it helps us prepare for future jobs. By Alicia

In Maths I really enjoyed maths week Scotland which had a Sumdog challenge for schools all over Scotland to take part in. You are given 1000 questions on a Monday and you have until the Thursday to complete them. One of the pupils at Heathhall came in 22nd place out of the whole of Scotland. I really enjoyed taking part in this because it pushed a lot of our class to their limit and I enjoyed playing the games and answering the questions. By Scarlett B.

HWB/P.E

In HWB we have been learning how to resolve conflicts. We have also been learning how to keep ourselves safe online. We have been taking part in the Couch to 5K and we have been paired with running partners and we try to encourage each other not to stop running. By Elijyah.

In PE with Mrs Sim we play fun games like Cross the Golden River and with Mrs Clanachan we do more fitness like run the daily mile. We also do team relay games to improve our speed and stamina. By Alex

I have enjoyed PE because we have been running the Couch to 5k with Mrs Clanachan it has been lots of fun and it has got lots more people to get fit/healthier. I enjoy this because we get to go outside and also because I am a good runner. By Tyler.

Other

We drew our dojo characters and pinned them up on the wall. We think they look really good and we enjoyed doing it because it was our last day with Mrs Clanachan. so we got to choose what we did and we did dojo characters and outside games. By Beth
