We found out lots of facts about Canada and USA. We used these facts to create posters and label host cities. Emily researched the USA at home and shared these facts with the class and Alfie in p5/6 showed us his ice hockey equipment.
Our Rights Respecting Committee have created activities and days on the run to the World Cup to celebrate and learn about the host countries and the countries in the same group as Scotland.

The excitement levels were hit today when P4/5 found out that Haribo were going to help us learn about calculating fractions of a quantity!! The best bit was halving them with our partner and eating them!!
We also used our skills in multiplication and division to help us too.
Today we had a great visit to Dumfries House organised by RHET. We learnt about pigs, bees and honey, keeping livestock safe, countryside and dogs, yarn and felt making, Highland meat, rapeseed oil, being an auctioneer and dairy farming. We also saw and met pigs, cows, lambs, calves, geese, chickens, horses and chicks. A great fun packed learning experience.
We have been learning about Buddhism and we created lotus flowers which are very symbolic at a Buddhist temple.
Steven Fraser came in from RBS to teach us about money. We participated in a workshop working out costs, identifying needs and wants and how we can save, budget or donate money. We also learnt to play some new money games.
We have been learning about onomatopoeia through our novel study and used the tools on Adobe Express to create a pop art style poster showing examples of onomatopoeia.
Everyone learnt how to insert elements, duplicate images, edit text and use the shortcuts to copy and paste.
We consolidated the French vocabulary we have learnt so far for farm animals by playing a game of “Who am I?” – it was lots of fun!
We started our gymnastics block today and have been focusing developing our balance and flexibility by making different shapes with our bodies.
