This week we have continued looking at adding paragraphs to our writing. We wrote an imaginative story about bonfire night with Miss Alexander and Mrs Skilling. We also looked at acrostic poems and wrote some based on fireworks. In handwriting, we looked at how “i” joins ascenders.

In numeracy, we learnt about estimation. We looked at number lines and estimated what number the arrow was pointing too. We also looked at double numbers and how this can help us estimate an answer.

We investigated different types of dances and created our own dances in groups.

In music, we started looking at singing two different parts at the same time. We loved listening to the different sound when we split up and sang the two parts together.

In PE, we practised throwing and catching drills and learnt a chest pass.

In IDL, we looked at local maps of the river Tay and Newport and compared them to maps from the 1800s. We discussed the difference between electronic and paper maps and the benefits of both. We looked at how to use an atlas and find places using coordinates.

Hope you all have a great rest of week.

Mrs Skilling
