Science

On Tuesday we were doing an experiment on an apple.  We made it mummified.  This links with our topic on the Egyptians.  We will check our results in one week – Rose

We cut the apple into quarters and then mixed salt and baking powder together to make natron and then we put it on the apple.  We left the other half plain to compare the results – Ben

We use natron because in Ancient Egypt, the Egyptians used natron when they were being mummified – Rhys

Literacy

We were moving round station and we were working on our adjectives, nouns and verbs – Freya

When we came into class on Thursday morning our chairs had disappeared!  Benjamin thought that it was an elf! – Finn

We found out that our chairs had gone on strike!

We then wrote a letter to the chairs asking them to come back to our classroom!  We missed them very much! – Daniel

This week we were learning about different jobs.  We discussed the different jobs that we wanted to do and we thought about what we needed to learn before we get that job – Sunny

Book Week Scotland!

We had lots of fun celebrating Book Week Scotland in our classroom!

Lots of us brought our favourite books into school! – Toby

We read a book called, ‘There is no dragon in this story’.  We were making our own houses for the three little pigs.  We could use straws, coloured paper, lollipop sticks and Lego.  We made one with Lego and one without – Freya

When we were making the three little pigs houses, we had to use a lot of sellotape to stick it altogether! – Charlotte

We had to make our houses strong so they were big bad wolf proof – Ben

We made our own bookmarks to use when we are reading our favourite books in class! – Brooke

Health and Wellbeing

We were learning about Growth Mindset this week – Brooke

If you have a fixed mindset that means that you quit if you do something wrong.  If you have a growth mindset, it means that if you get something wrong then you keep trying – Finn

We split into different groups and were assigned different roles.  The roles were manager,  encourager, reporter and recorder.  We were then given some scenarios and had to come up with some solutions!

IDL

We made lots of different creations this week!

Literacy

I made a picture based on a picture in Esio Trot.  I then write why I liked that picture – Haroon

We were learning how to use onomatopoeia in our writing this week – Sunny

It is the sound of an action – Finn

Onomatopoeia is like when you jump in a puddle it would make a ‘splash’! – Ben

We were drawing routes with the chalk and then we were guiding our partners to follow the directions by using the words forwards, backwards, left, right, up and down – Freya

We also learned to use clockwise and anti-clockwise.
