Last week we visited Newton Mearns Baptist Church to take part in some Easter activities and learn why Easter is important to Christians. The children really enjoyed the visit and the volunteers and staff at the church commented on how well they had listened and taken part.

We have continued learning about WWII. This week we looked at Jewish life and how it changed under the Nazis. We learnt about a girl called Vera and her journey as part of the Kindertransport.

We have been creating art work inspired by the blitz. We used paint and blending skills to create a background, added details like smoke and then created silhouettes to finish the pictures.

Check out our World Book Day scenes:

This week we explored probability and conducted some experiments.

This week we visited P3 to tell our religious stories that the class have worked on retelling. Some people made puppet shows and others interactive picture books. The class worked really hard on their stories and the P3s loved hearing them.

This week in PE we designed our own fitness routines and then lead other groups through them. We tried to work all our muscles and to be encouraging.

This week we have been focusing on teamwork and cooperation. We have completed a number of tasks to work on these skills and discussed what we need to do, and be, to be good members of a team.

This week the class worked on creating adverts for their Apprentice project inventions.

They filmed and then edited with iMovie and created fantastic, creative adverts.

As always I ask children for permission to post their photo so some people may be missing from the blog!

This week we went a fantastic trip to the National Museum of Rural Life. We took part in a maths workshop, toured the farm and then found about how farm machinery has changed in the museum. Thanks to our parent helpers who made the trip possible and Mr Atkinson for organising.
