Today  we did  some Maths Top Trumps  based  on the Men’s World  Cup. The cards had times tables and division questions on them.

How we used math for each of the categories – we did a quiz about the countries that played in the World Cup and we were in teams of 4.

How you play –   you see which category is the highest and the other players say their calculation  and the biggest answer gets everyone’s cards.

It was fun.

We went  to the cinema to see Clifford The Big Red Dog and Oak house saw The Bad Guys . Clifford was really funny, sad at times and very exciting! We had delicious snacks .

We  recently did Scottish dancing which was fun.  Every week on Friday  we are going to be doing Scottish dancing. Last week we did The Gay Gordons and we will be practising it this week again.

This week in P5.18 we played with construction toys, learning about 3D shape and materials.  We also made Christmas Cards that we are able to buy once they are sent away. We painted Dias for Diwali  in the art room with bright metallic paints.

We also started our new Mearns Masters called Gastronomers  also known as cooking. We made shortbread, it was tasty. One half of the class went but the other stayed and wrote about shortbread and the recipe. 

This Thursday the oak group is going to a movie as a reward for winning the house points for Term 1. On Friday all of us are going to a movie! We are very excited!

We have been busy this week….

In PE  we played a game called bench ball which is a different version of Netball. There are 2 are two teams and on the bench there are 3 or 4 people on the bench. There is 1 bib team and 1 non-bib team. On the bench, if you are the non- bib team you try and dribble or do a lot of passes, and then try and get to the bib-bench, try pass to a person on the bench, then your team gets 1 point! So that is basically that is how you play the game. We all really enjoyed it.

This week we did perspective art and it was fantastic. Lots of us have had another go and even tried it at home.

Our next Mearns Masters block is ‘The Gastronomers’ and we have been really looking forward to this. Group 1 made shortbread this week which was delicious. We were so pleased with how our creation turned out. Next week is Group 2’s turn. Over the coming weeks, up until Christmas, we will be cooking different dishes and learning new skills in the kitchen.

We had a very interesting and important assembly about Remembrance Day and we observed a one minute silence on Friday 11th November.

We are also very excited about our upcoming cinema trip next Friday!
