For our Mearns Masters campaign focus, we’ve been looking at protecting birds and squirrels. We had a visit from a park ranger at Dams to Darnley park who talked about what he does in his job to help these animals. We loved learning more about them and looking at some items he brought in from his park, such as wings and animal poo!
We had a visit from Pauline who is one of our school ministers. She told us about Harvest Time. She made us think about what we are all thankful for.

The triangles have been learning to double numbers. Yesterday we created our own ladybug spots with natural materials and doubled the amounts on the other side. We then completed a worksheet to reinforce our learning.

The squares maths group have been learning about fractions this week. We started looking at halves and showed a half by drawing a line and colouring in half. We’ve also identified halves and understand that a half has 2 equal parts.
We had lots of fun this morning taking part in our sporty fundraiser. We played games such as beans, the nest and human knots and crosses.
We are now watching a pantomime – Sleeping Beauty!
We are really passionate about saving the rainforests! We created posters so we can spread the word.
Today we were architects and created floor plans for our theme parks. We learned how to calculate the area of a shape by counting the squares and also to write “cm squared”.
Today we were learning about pictograms to collect and display data. We created our own pictograms and enjoyed asking our friends questions. Some of us choose to collect data about favourite colours, numbers, football players, books, mythical creatures, etc. We then discussed the most popular and least poplar choices.
Today we went on a virtual school trip to a THEME PARK! We buckled our belts and went on a very big roller coaster. 🎢 😯
We then talked about our favourite rides at a theme park and created tally tables. Using the information we collected, we created our own bar graphs. ✏️
Here are some photos from this week and last week. We were reading and writing tricky words and our sounds for the week,
