Numeracy
Today we were exploring decimal numbers, in particular hundredths. We used base ten materials to show different numbers.
Decimal Numberline
James decided to make a decimal numberline using the base ten materials. He was very proud of his work.
Rounding
Today we practised rounding numbers up to millions.
Shake, write, spin, round, snap.
Weekly Update
This week we played Mrs Connell’s Big Writing Game. This game is known for its magical powers of helping the class produce fantastic writing. We wrote descriptions about the setting using similes and then used our gameplay to write a beginning, problem and ending.
We’ve been continuing our work on fractions.
We explored percentages and used the Diene’s materials to create an image of a percentage. Some of use also found a percentage of a number, converting a percentage to a fraction.

Weekly Update
Good afternoon, this week we were leaning volume. We calculated the volume using cubic centimetres. We checked using cubes and some of us used the formula V = l x b x h.
On Tuesday we did a litter pick around some of Sorn. We tidied up behind the village hall and then down towards the entrance to the village. We plan to continue this next week with the whole school. We took part in a live lesson and learned how to write a poem about the environment and how to look after it. Have a look at some of our poems.

Weekly Update
In Primary 4-7, we have been learning to estimate the weight of objects. We used scales to check how accurate our estimations were.
On Thursday, we celebrated World Book Day. In the morning, we took part in a Footy Booky quiz with lots us of scoring high in the two rounds. Then we took part in a BBC Live Lesson where we finished with thousands of schools all reading simultaneously for 60 seconds. During that time we read our own choice of fiction, non-fiction or comics.
Then we took part in Mrs Mackay’s great book hunt. We each had to read clues to help find the title of the next book. Glen Logan were the scavenger hunt champions and also received bonus points for the best teamwork.

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.
