This week in literacy we have been learning how to use speech marks and commas. We used a game about an ancient temple to write our stories. Click on the links below to read our writing.

In maths we have learned how to use the written method for subtraction and we used the dienes blocks to help us exchange hundreds, tens and units.

In art we learned about perspective drawings and then drew the Polar Express. We used the vanishing point, horizon lines and guidelines to help us.

In PE we have been doing basketball and this week we were perfecting our passing and dribbling.

We have been writing Haiku poems. There is a rule where you have to have three lines and the first one 5 syllables, second 7 syllables and last one 5 syllables.

In maths we drew line graphs and we have been learning doubles.

We have also been doing scratch art fireworks. Then we also picked carrots in our garden and Mr Mackay will be making us carrot soup. 😊😉🥰

Everyone learned how to write numbers in words.

We have started a new book called Kensuke’s Kingdom as class Novel.

We predicted how we thought what would happen in the book and played unlikely or likely with the post it’s that we made. We decided how likely each prediction was to happen.

We painted watercolour flowers with Miss Walker.

Quentin Blake Exhibition

Today Primary 5/6/7 enjoyed a visit to the Dick Institute in Kilmarnock to see the Quentin Blake exhibition. We enjoyed looking at his artwork and illustrations before getting a chance to create our own artwork. Fiona showed us how to use mixed media such as ink, watercolour, crayons and charcoal.
What do you think of our artwork?
