Today we welcomed Mrs Murray (Skye’s Mum) to our class to talk about Technology and History. She showed us a fantastic presentation which including lots of interesting historical information about Barrhead. We heard about ways to Digitise information and managed to carry out some of our own research using lots of websites including East Renfrewshire Council’s archive section.

This week the children have been focusing on their mental maths skills each day along with their planned lessons. They have been learning to decompose a number or round it up or down to help them add mentally.

In science they finished their water topic by researching water and its uses. They used ICT to create a sway or powerpoint that they will share and present to the class  over the next few weeks.

They continued learning about the lives of Victorian children and were learning all about Victorian food. They made gruel and porridge and compared the taste of the two!
