In maths the white group have been developing their skills in data handling. They have been going around the classes this week to collect data for their survey.  The orange group have been working with decimal numbers, adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing amongst other challenges.  The yellow group have been identifying numbers up to one million and multiplying and dividing numbers by 10/100/1000 etc.

In P.E with Mrs. McGreggor it was our last week of doing basketball with the pupils at Eastwood High School. With Mr. McMillan we worked on our tennis skills.  Particularly forehand and backhand and controlling the movement of the tennis ball.

In science we were continuing our taste test. Everyone had a turn of trying food whilst they held their nose as this made it harder to smell and therefore identify the food.  We learnt that our smell and taste works together.

In social studies we had our vote and the Peace Party and the Nation Party tied with the most votes. We also had a discussion about Devolved powers and what we think the Scottish government could do to improve their actions and support in these areas.  We also created our own questions about the Scottish Parliament and used these in a game board.

In French we were learning about sports/ hobbies. We played team games to learn our vocabulary.  We also had a visitor, Ben, from France who spoke to us about their traditions and culture.

In health we have been learning about substance misuse. Today we made a booklet using our notes and what we had learnt, to inform others of alcohol, smoking and drugs.

We have been working on inferring meaning from texts (inference skills). We had to infer meaning from the text to answer questions and describe the characters.
