This week we have been continuing to work on fractions. We’ve been learning about equivalent fractions and representing fractions in different forms.

We were learning to build circuits and investigated which materials  can conduct electricity. We kept a note of our results and then wrote a scientific report based on our findings.

We also started chess again this week in preparation for our chess championship restarting next term.

This week we were learning a different spelling rule. We continued to do work on our book study War Horse. We were also writing a report about Alexander Graham Bell.

We were learning Scottish dancing with Mrs McCaig in PE.

We have been learning about fractions in numeracy. We learned that to calculate 1/3 – we would divide by 3. P7 had Pipe Band on Wednesday and P6 are started strings again on Thursday afternoon.

We were learning about propaganda and what it is. We looked at different posters from the time of WW1 and we  were able to identify how the posters were designed to make people feel.

We were also learning about different bridge structures and created and designed our own bridges. We are still in the process of building these.
