What a week of learning it has been! Here is what we got up to this week:

Maths – Reading timetables and creating our own

For maths we have been learning how to read a timetable like a bus or train timetable and calculate durations. We were then given the task of planning a trip to the cinema in Renfrew Street from Newton Mearns by taking public transport. We were given a budget of £25 each to spend and had to plan what time to leave, which train to take and which movie to watch. This involved planning around timings. It was fun!

Civil Rights Movement

For IDL, we started learning about the civil rights movements. We looked at some of the laws that shocked us and looked at pictures that showed inequality between white and coloured people. It made us sad, angry and we were just very shocked. Then we created a diamond 9 for the laws and rules which we thought were the most severe, to the least severe. Every group had different opinions.

Science

With Mr Wilson, we looked at senses and we created an invention for our chosen sense.

Athletics and Bleep test

For P.E. we have been doing athletics and weekly bleep test. All of us have bet our initial scores and are doing really well.

Creating a story book

We started a storyboard for our books. Next week we are going to write our story before we assemble it into a book.
