In Science we finished our work on food chains. A plant is always at the start because it is a producer.  This means it makes its own food. An animal is next, which is a consumer because it eats other things.  The primary consumer is at the start, and then the secondary consumer. If one animal dies in a food chain, the whole food chain could die out.  Herbivores eat plants, carnivores eat meat and omnivores eat everything!

 

We did PE outside this week because the Primary 3s were using the hall for their fabulous show.  As well as “Steal ball”, we used the extra space to play a new game called Scatterball.  We used our running and throwing skills as batters and  fielders. With Mr Judge, we played another new game called Farmers and Foxes. We used our running and sneaky dodging skills. It’s lovely to get outside in the sunshine!

 

In Maths, we have been working on adding tens and units, looking at identifying coins and adding to 20.  In Literacy we were answering inferential questions.  This means it doesn’t tell you the answer in the book. We used the word “because” to give reasons for our answers.

 

In RME we explored the features of a mosque.  We learned about the dome, the Qu’ran, crescent moon and star, to wash before praying, taking off shoes, prayer mats facing Mecca and the imam.

 

We said goodbye to James this week as he starts his new adventures in a new school.  You’ll be brilliant!

 

You might see what we have been doing in Art and in writing on Sunday (if you are a mummy…)

 

We’re looking forward to a lovely holiday!
