This week we have been writing poems with the theme ‘I Have  A Dream’. We are entering them into a competition. Children were able to write any style of poem and some have chosen acrostic while some have chosen free verse or rhyme. They are all super and have themes like being an astronaut or footballer or winning an Olympic medal or having a monster creep up behind you!

In Numeracy, we have continued learning to use column subtraction and also finishing off our subtraction topic with a mini assessment.

In Dance, we learnt how to do the Flying Scotsman and the Dashing White Sergeant. We also created our our dance to Scottish music thinking about sequences fitting into 4 counts of 8. We watched each other and gave constructive feedback.

We had an amazing visit from Robert in P7 who told us all about his bagpipes and played for us! It was amazing! We were able to ask him  questions too! We have made bagpipes in art using a weaving technique to produce a tartan for the bag. They look fantastic.

In Science, we learnt what energy is and all about different types of energy, like sound, heat and light. We also discussed how electricity can be produced using renewable or non-renewable energy sources. We know that sources like solar, wind and hydro are better for the environment because they won’t run out and they don’t produce harmful gases.
