Spelling Bee

 SAM_1034

In class we have been focusing on our spelling and taking part in a class Spelling Bee Challenge. We have been practising our spelling words in lots of different ways and trying to apply spelling rules in our writing. Throughout the term we have been getting points for interesting and ambitious sentences, class challenges and for completing our homework tasks to a high standard.

Well Done Emma F who was crowned our Spelling Bee champion.

Emma always tries to write interesting sentences and we have used her sentences during our class writing challenges. By practising our spelling regularly we will be able to apply this to our writing.

 

 

Portraits

 

We created a line drawing using shape analysis. First we analysed a variety of portraits and discussed  different shapes we could see.  We then analysed the proportions of our faces and we discovered  that our eyes are actually located in the middle of our heads.  Our eyes are an eye space apart as well as the tops of our ears.  We used an oval shape for our head and our eyes were an almond shape.

We were successful at creating portraits using shape analysis. We will apply this skill to our future drawings.

I feel I was successful because I used shape analysis to create a life like portrait  Emma B

MP Visit

Our local MP Kirsten Oswald, who represents East Renfrewshire Council, visited our class  on Wednesday the 23rd of September.

First we wrote a formal letter to  Mrs Oswald inviting her to visit the class. We used persuasive  and formal language  within our letters.

Next we created open ended questions to ask Mrs Oswald to  help us learn  more information about her role as an MP.

Mrs Oswald  informed us about the history of the Scottish Parliament and told us about the election process. We then asked Mrs Oswald  our questions  whilst we took notes.

Using our notes  and the key information we created a 3 paragraph personal profile.

We  will be able to apply these skills in our future working life.

Throughout the visit we ensured that we showed Mrs Oswald respect and  that we are responsible for our learning.
