Time flies when you’re having fun, as they say, and this month is flying by!

At the start of the week, we took part in an online workshop on biodiversity.  We were shown around some parts of the Scottish Highland Wildlife Park, where they are breeding pine hoverflies because they are an endangered species.  We also saw the wolves and heard about how the hoverfly plays a part in their food chain.  We were surprised to learn that wild wolves in Scotland became extinct in 1743!

In maths, we have started a block on information handling and have spent time conducting surveys, creating tally and frequency tables, and drawing bar charts.

Literacy has been based around our novel study, ‘Divided City’, which has led to interesting discussions about discrimination and prejudice.  We have also been looking at how to bring settings to life though detailed description and figurative language when writing.

Luckily, we also found a break in the rain to go outside and have a trial of the 400m as part of our Sports Day training.  We learned that it is important to pace ourselves so not to run out of energy too quickly.

Have a lovely weekend everyone.
