Today we used our knowledge of money to calculate the costs of the ingredients to make a banana loaf. We calculated that each loaf would cost £2.50 to make. We then baked banana loaves using some fairtrade ingredients.
In class we sliced the loaves in to 1/10s and then calculated the price of each slice. We decided we would add 10p to each slice if we were selling, making a total profit of £1 per loaf. Then we all got to eat a delicious warm slice !
Today we were learning to use the putters in P.E.
We are looking forward to improving our golf skills. 
We are taking part in the inter schools badminton challenge. Today we were improving our badminton skills in preparation for the challenge next month. Our active schools co-ordinator was very impressed with our hand to eye coordination ! We will practising over the coming weeks and fingers crossed we do well in the challenge. Watch this space for results in February.
We have been learning all about fractions in maths. Today we made shortbread and then cut our shortbread shapes into fractions. We then decided what fraction of the shortbread looked bigger ( and which fraction we would like to eat!)
We even cut our tray of shortbread into 1/14ths so that all the staff could try our delicious shortbread.
In P.E this term we are developing and improving our target skills. We have been using balls and beanbags to improve our throwing, aim and accuracy abilities. We love PE activities and always take part with lots of enthusiasm!
What a busy month we had celebrating in class and with our friends across the school.
Primary 3/4 took part in Antibullying week. They helped add to the school Kindness Tree with kind acts all week.
