Numeracy and Mathematics

Topic 

Sophia – In Topic, we were taking notes about Scotland Through the Decades. Miss Estlick is going to take some pictures of our work for the Headteacher to look at. We used the Chromebook to help us find primary and secondary sources.

Health and Wellbeing /PE

Eva L – In PE,  we did games with the parachute as part of Break the Rules Day. We played cat and mouse and we ran under the parachute.

Alfie B – In Health and Wellbeing, we ranked celebrities from successful to least successful. We then found out that all these people had failed before they could succeed.

Science 

Archie – In Science we took part in an engineering competition to make bridges. This year we couldn’t have judges from the Glasgow Science Centre in to vote so we took pictures of our bridges for other people to judge.

Varda – We had to make a bridge that lets ships go under it – either a swivel bridge or a bridge that raises. It had to go over the River Clyde. It also had to have pedestrians and cyclists go across it.

 

Outdoor Learning 

Olly – In Outdoor Learning we did orienteering with Mrs Lamont. We had to use hide a clip around the school and plot it on a map. Then everyone else was given a map to find the clip. The sticks were numbered and the patterns had to be found in order. When you finished you went to Mrs Lamont and were given a new pattern. We had to match the pattern to the number on our sheet.

Expressive Arts (Drama) 

John – In Drama, we were learning about mime. In groups, we had to demonstrate different emotions and actions and our team had to guess it and if you got it correct you got to keep the card for points. The team with the most points at the end won. Then we played a whole class game called charades from the actions in the tub.
