In Literacy we have been writing letters. This week we wrote a letter to different shops asking for donations for our raffle at the Scottish Afternoon for the residents at Whitecraigs Care Home. We learned where to write the address, date, start the letter with Dear and end the letter with Yours faithfully or Yours sincerely. Yours sincerely is when you know the name of the person you are writing to and Yours faithfully is when you don’t know their name.

 

In P.E. we have been learning to record our scores and time to complete each activity. In athletics we have been developing our throwing, running, hopping, skipping and jumping skills.

 

In Science this week we were making equipment you would find in a play park because we were learning about things that move (motion) and the direction they move in. We learned that swings move in a back and forth motion, a roundabout moves in a circular motion and a person would move in a back and forth motion or side to side or up-and-down motion on monkey bars. A sea-saw moves in an up and down motion and a zip-line moves in a back and forth motion, Some of us made more than one piece of play park equipment in our pairs. We have been investigating the forces of pushing and pulling as well.

 

We finished the week on a high as well as on Friday we took part in the Tough Mudder. It was really muddy and some of the older children were

squirting water at us to get us clean because we were covered in dirt and also for a bit of fun. We slipped a lot especially in the tyres. We had lots of fun!
