This week has been jam-packed and we can’t believe that it’s Friday already.

In our topic, WWII we learned all about the evacuation that started on 1st September 1939. We learned about the groups of people who were evacuated, the kinds of places they had to be evacuated to and what life was like for them. Mrs Morrison brought in some photos of her mother, who was an evacuee. We loved getting to see real photos of someone that Mrs Morrison knew. We worked in groups to discuss the positives and negatives of being evacuated:

We agreed that although being evacuated was a very sad time for a child, the positives outweighed the negatives. We are going to be doing a topic project that involves cardboard, plastic bottles, toilet roll holders etc. Any recycled items like this are welcome in the class!

In maths, we finished looking at the number system by looking at Roman Numerals, linking to our knowledge of place value, and practiced rounding numbers. We made posters for aliens (in case they come to visit our class) to teach them about rounding numbers.

We are moving on to number processes and decimal numbers next week! We have started to look at letter writing and will be writing a letter to Mr Leitch’s friend to ask him if we can go and see his Anderson Shelter!!!

We are looking forward to our visit to Dumfries House next Wednesday for the Inter-generational Tea Dance.
