We have been learning to read a scales and convert between litres and millilitres.

We had a wonderful time performing our Christmas Show ‘Straw and Order.’  We enjoyed taking  on different roles and being able to sing Christmas songs. We hope you enjoy watching the video.

We have been learning about different types of bridges.
We completed some research in groups and recorded our findings on a Jamboard. Then we used a variety of materials to create our own bridges across the ‘River Clyde’

We applied our knowledge of attachment techniques to complete a number of challenges.
First we created ‘the tallest tower.’

Then we created a free standing castle wall.

Finally we created a complete castle focusing on including the features of a castle such as drawbridge, turret, battlement, portcullis and arrow loops.

We had a fun-filled day raising money for Children in Need. We enjoyed buying toys and books and taking part in the sports stations organised by Primary 7.

We got to take part in a judo workshop at the Barrhead Foundry.  We learned some Japanese words and how to work with a partner to roll and pin them down. We know that Judo is a martial art and has special rules.

Week 1

Week 2

We have been enjoying learning Mandarin with our new teacher Mrs Cao. We learned that Chinese names have meanings. So we picked some words that reflect our personality to create our own Chinese name.

We have also been learning how to say different colours in Mandarin.

We have been learning about the properties of different materials. We sorted the materials into categories and discussed their different purposes.  We are going to apply these into our Castle and Bridges STEM challenges.

We developed our measuring skills by using our rulers to measure multiple points to ensure we could draw a straight line. We learned about different attachment techniques such as tabs, slot, flange, l-brace and gusset.

We have been learning how to structure a story with a clear beginning, middle and end. We focused on developing characters and setting using interesting WOW words. In our spooky stories we developed a storyline using chapters and then typed up our books using Google Classroom.

Our books were then published into our class library. We can’t wait to read each others’ stories.

We used our knowledge of similes and metaphors to create a group poem about Bonfire Night. We arranged our writing on different coloured flames and then went outdoors to find some twigs for our bonfire. We were really proud of our designs.
