This week we started Bikeability. We practised our safe starting and stopping.  We then had four stations; one station was a path which we had to steer through, one where we had to practise riding with one hand (we had to high five and throw hoops on to targets), one station where we practised our left turn, and another station where we had to slalom between cones.  We will be in the playground next week and then we will be out on the roads.

In writing we have been working on poetry. This week we wrote our own rap about going to a fair.  We had to describe what we would see, hear, smell, touch, taste and how we would feel.  We thought about rhyming words and rhythm.

In ICT we have started coding.

In maths the orange group have continued working on decimal fractions. The white group have started probability.  The yellow group have been measuring volume.

In PE we were developing our long jump skills with Mrs. McGreggor. With Mr. McMillan we have been continuing our tennis skills; working on racquet control.

In science we started a new topic, learning about food chains. We learnt what a food chain is and that there are three parts; it starts with plants and then the creatures and animals that eat the plants and finally the creatures and animals that eat those creatures.

Our new topic in class is volcanoes and natural disasters. We learnt about the different types of volcanoes; active, dormant and extinct.  We also learnt about the different parts of a volcano and how volcanoes are formed.
