Hello everyone and welcome to our blog!

In P3a this week we  started our new IDL topic  –  Human V Robot. We have been learning how robots are used in everyday life. We have looked at different types of robots and what they can be used for.

We have also been learning about coding, memory boards and programming.

Out Primary 7 Digital Leaders came into our class and showed us how to programme Micorbits.

“They were fun to play with but a little hard to programme. I was able to decide the pattern of lights on the Microbit – it came to life” (Hugo).

“The Micorbits were amazing because it could do what I wanted it to do.”( Olivia Y)

“I programmed it to make cool pictures ” (James)

In writing we are learning about poetry. We read various poems and focussed on rhyming words and the rhythm these.  We  spent time working in groups to worked in groups to create rhyming words that we could add to help us create a poem about winter. We enjoyed looking at lots of Julia Donalsdon books for inspiration.

“I read Monkey Puzzle and it helped my get my own ideas for my own poem and how to make it rhyme.”( Ryan)

“I liked reading lots of different poems by the same person.  They were all very different and gave me my own ideas to create my own poem.” (Ruaridh)

In maths we did some revision on Data and we learned about the key when interpreting pictograms.

We have also been working hard on learning our two times table.

We had lots of problem solving activities too. We have been very busy!

“The number pyramids teased my brain quite a lot.” (Penelope)

“I liked adding the numbers, it was a clever way to add.” (Oscar).

 

In PE we have been outside in the MUGA developing our tennis skills.

“I loved tennis and it was amazing to learn our forehand swing and volley hit.” (Isla)

“I liked the overhead serve.” (Jura)

 

Have a wonderful weekend.
