Hello!

This week at Crookfur we celebrated Burns day by learning about the life and work of Robert Burns. We translated ‘Willie Wastle’s wife’ from Scots to Standard English which was tricky but really interesting! We all had a go reading some traditional Scots language 🙂 We then used our imagination to create a drawing of Willie Wastle’s wife based on the descriptions given in the poem.

We also learned about Chinese New Year and completed a comprehension task on this topic. During golden time we created a traditional fortune cookie box which was fun 🙂

In ICT we worked in groups to create a PowerPoint on our topic, Renewable Energy. We look forward to continuing with our power points next week!

We also learned about different landscapes in Scotland as part of our ‘My world and me’ social studies topic which we have started with Mrs Watson. We have found this really interesting so far! 🙂

In maths all groups revised area and perimeter and time as these are topics we have found a bit tricky. In addition, the Fantastic Fractions began learning how to simplify fractions. The Excellent Equations worked on division calculations while the Super Subtractions continued to learn about measure.

All reading groups began exploring biographies. Readosaurus are learning about Neil Armstrong, Writeosaurus are learning about J K Rowling and Spellosaurus are learning about Nelson Mandela.

We have attached some pictures of our classroom and of our Harry Potter competition entries for you to see.

Have a lovely weekend! 🙂
