On Monday we were working on our aim and our forearm and our backhand shots in tennis.
We planned our next explanation by watching videos and making notes in our writing jotters. We will be writing our draft explanation on Tuesday.
We had a visit from PC Lorraine, she is the Campus Cop for the schools in Barrhead. She told us the importance of keeping ourself safe and that the police are able to help us if we need it.
We have been working on our history topic by learning about racism is and some of the history regarding its origin. We are taking part in a series of lessons learning about how diverse Scotland in and to about the importance of being anti-racist.
This week was Language Week Scotland, and our class learned 5 new languages this week!
Ask us at home what they were!
