This week we looked at internet safety and how to keep safe on social media platforms.\u00a0\u00a0At I.C.T. we created our own avatars so that we could use that to make our profiles safer. We did a survey to see which apps are most popular in our class.<\/p>\n

We recited our poems to Mrs Millar. Our poem is called “The Auld Broon Troot” and is by Sandy Thomas Ross.<\/p>\n

We made a fraction wall which showed us that the more pieces a strip is cut into, the smaller these pieces get.\u00a0 We used our knowledge of multiples of the times tables to create sets of equivalent fractions.<\/p>\n

This week we have been\u00a0doing\u00a0listening activities in maths.\u00a0 One was based on plotting co-rdinates onto a grid, the second was based on understanding the language of multiples, factors and square numbers with the third focussing on mental addition and subtraction.<\/p>\n

This week we’ve also taught P6 & P7 the Scottish dances ‘The Waratah Weaver’ and ‘A Reel for Jeannie’.<\/p>\n

We have been discussing the traditions we have in this country in the lead up to and during Christmas.\u00a0 We then went down to ICT and researched the Christmas traditions of other countries.\u00a0 Using this research, we then created a fact file that we could\u00a0use to teach other classes about\u00a0what we have found out.<\/p>\n

In maths we\u00a0completed multiplication and division cross numbers using our the mental strategy of partitioning to help us.<\/p>\n

In our topic we researched what effects\u00a0smoking can have on\u00a0different body parts.<\/p>\n

To help us with our spelling, we were putting our words into elkonin boxes.\u00a0 To do this, we had to split each word up into the sounds it has and had to think about what letters make those sounds.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday it was World Children’s Day.\u00a0 To celebrate this, we thought about all the rights children have and what we are doing in school to promote these.\u00a0 We then chose an article and designed a flag to show how Dalrymple Primary are flying high and promoting children’s rights.<\/p>\n

On Thursday afternoon, we painted sunset pictures and we merged the red, orange and yellow paint to make it look realistic.\u00a0 In the foreground, we painted a scene which included an African animal, and this idea came from our class novel “The Butterfly Lion”.<\/p>\n
