This Week’s Learning

Literacy:
Lewis- We have been learning about inferences! We use the clues in the text and what we already know to help us make an inference.
Ethan- In writing, we have continued with note-taking and we made a mind map about our learning in each subject.

Numeracy:
Kerr- The circles have been learning about BODMAS (the order of operations). It has been challenging but fun!
Ava- The triangles have been continuing to practise dividing 2 digit numbers with remainders. We have learned another strategy to help us (dots method).
Jamie F- The squares have been learning about symmetry and multiplying by 8 and 9.

Expressive Arts:
Cormac- We have been continuing our rehearsals for our Christmas concert! We are learning another two new songs!

Health and Wellbeing:
Sophie C- In the Muga, we have been continuing our hockey lessons. We were practising our dribbling skills by doing relay races where we had to control the ball in and out of each cone. Each round had more cones added.

Social Studies (Topic): 
Isam- We have been learning about interior design trends in Scotland throughout each decade. We took notes about each era and then we used them to create an interior design plan.

RME:
David- We have been continuing our topic of Sikhism. We went over the story of Guru Nanak and learned about how Sikhs celebrate Gurpurab (Guru Nanak’s birthday). We made a mind map about what they do two days before, one day before and on the day of Gurpurab.

Anti-Bullying:
Inaaya- Mrs Nasar came in to teach us about Bystander or Upstander. A bystander is someone who joins in, ignores or does not tell a teacher when they see someone being bullied. An upstander is someone who sticks up for the person, interferes or informs a teacher when someone is being bullied. We had a lot of honest discussions about who we think we are and how we can do better.

Road Safety Week:
Morven- It was road safety week this week so we were learning about road safety heros. We had a sorting acitvity where we had to decide if each action is not a hero thing to do or a hero.
