This week we have been learning about different types of angles. We went out to the playground to find different examples. We finished off with a game of angle tig.

Today we created our own symmetrical patterns using paint. Then we used an app online to draw one half and watch as the computer drew the other half.

Yesterday we visited Dumfries House Farm. We were extremely lucky to get to visit lots of stations and learn about the different aspects of farming. We particularly enjoyed getting to see the horses and hold the chicks… they were very cute, even after they pooped on the table.

RRSA Displays

Today, our Rights Respecting Committee added a right to the displays in school. They already surveyed the school and decided which displays related to which right.

Reading for Enjoyment featuring Quality Street

Today, at the start of our literacy lesson, we were asked to choose our favourite Quality Street and the reason why we picked it. Some of us chose the chocolate based on having tried them before, the flavour or even the wrapper.

Mrs Connell then asked us to choose a book from a selection and give a reason why. Some of us chose a book based on the cover, blurb, author or genre.
We pick books the same way we pick our favourite sweet treats.

On Thursday, we shared our writing across the whole school. We wrote instructions on how to make the most disgusting sandwich. We certainly put Mrs Connell off her lunch. We peer assessed in pairs, then groups, using the success criteria and sentence starters to leave feedback.
