Monday to Wednesday with Mrs Meiklem

This week we have been learning about the Tay Whale and talking about the whaling industry in Dundee at that time in history. We took notes and then had a class discussion about  whether whaling should be illegal in all places in the world. We were able to give good reasons for our opinions and listen to others respectfully.

We created our own whale art work using cold colours and poster paints. We created a class art gallery and gave each other peer feedback.

We wrote newspaper articles about the whale.

In PE we are creating a group Bollywood group dance. We filmed ourselves and watched it back on the smart board in the classroom.

We also made a classroom museum to look at old artefacts and discussed how we can see if they are a reliable source of information from the past.

In numeracy we are working on subtraction. P2s within 20 and p3s within 100. We focussed taking away multiples of 10.
