Graph gang – This week graph gang worked on decimals in weight and it was very fun. We also looked at multiplying and dividing multiples of 10.

Fraction force – The Fraction Force started working on volume.

Number ninjas – Number Ninjas looked at different types of calendars and read information from them. They then started to work on multiplying and dividing

 

Writing –

This week in writing everyone wrote a newspaper article about whatever they wanted and it was exciting to see what everyone produced! We could either write about something in real life, exaggerate it completely or both at the same time!

Ethan wrote about Storm Arwin in Dundee except it was extremely exaggerated. It was very snowy and the Christmas fair got destroyed! (in the story)

John – I wrote about a shop called Aivalo’s shop of wonder and how a fight broke out inside.

 

Pe: On Monday we played dodgeball for PE , and on Thursday we played football and netball in the MUGA. 

 

Literacy –

All groups have been looking at non-fiction texts linked to our learning. We have been using the different features of the text to answer questions.

 

Road Safety Week –

Primary 6 JRSO officers visited us to talk about Road Safety week. They shared a quiz about how we should act around roads to keep us safe. We then discussed who Road Safety Heroes are. In class we started to discuss all the different ways emergency services could help us and we spoke about the importance of staying safe as a passenger in a car as well as being a responsible pedestrian. We feel very lucky to have June and Cathy as our Crossing Patrollers to help us get in and out of the school safely.

 

Primary 7 Lesson planning –

Primary 7 have been given the opportunity to teach a lesson to the class. We need to decide on a subject to teach, set a learning intention and identify how we will know if the learners have successfully met the learning intention. We have had time to plan in class as well as at home for homework.

Our first lesson will be with Ethan and Teo on Monday when they lead us in a PE lesson.

On Wednesday as it was the first of December we decorated the classroom with some festive cheer! Each day we are opening a virtual advent calendar and today it had a link for a festive Just Dance!

We helped take all the gift donations for the present room to the family room today ready for the present room to be set up next Friday. We can’t wait to help out at the present room next week.

 

Have a great weekend everyone.
