On Thursday it was Burn’s Day. In our writing we wrote about Scottish characters. We really enjoyed dressing up in some tartan to get into the Scottish spirit.

We wrote about different characters we knew from stories. Some people wrote about Rabbie Burn’s whilst others wrote about Katie Morag, Merida or Mr MacTout from Family Ness cartoon. 

In maths we were learning all about playing different games to help us with our reading and number skills.

Some of us were very resilient when we didn’t win. There was lots of fun and laughter had.

Happy weekend everyone!!

This week we have been continuing our learning about Super Scotland!!

On Monday we looked at maps inside an Atlas that showed parts of Scotland.

We liked looking at the different places we recognised.

There were pictures of places we had been. We found Hadrian’s Wall, Newton Mearns, Glasgow and we even found the islands our school houses are named after!

On Tuesday it was very cold so we sat out some ice in a tray to see how long it took to freeze.

By Wednesday morning it had frozen. When we brought it into the class it started thaw which made the centre part spin round. It made the animals look like they were ice skating!

We went outside and put other things in our own trays to make frozen pictures!

On Thursday we learnt about tartan and how it is made. Vertical and horizontal lines are used to create a pattern.

Tartan use to be banned in Scotland until only a few hundred years ago. We found some of our own family tartans.

We made our own tartan patterns and found some tartan material to wear in the classroom.

We continued to build Scottish landmarks in the classroom.

Look at Edinburgh Castle!

Have a great weekend!

On Monday it was lovely to welcome everyone back into school.

We started our Super Scotland topic by learning a little bit about Scotland and making a cover for our Scotland topic books.

On Tuesday we went out into our playground to have a look at different types of homes we find in Scotland. We found a really interesting one in the grounds of Eastwood High. Did you know that Caplerig House is over 250 years old!

On Wednesday Miss McLemon was in our class all day and we started to look at our day and night topic in science.

On Thursday when we went to P.E. we started our gymnastics block. As you can see from the photos we are all super stars at making shapes and moving safely around the gym!

On Friday at assembly we learned that we will have a house spirit afternoon next week and that this months double house points are for ‘being curious’.

Have a super weekend!
