This week we have been perfecting our singing and dancing for GLEE. We have decided that we can use our residential trip next week to practise our singing out in the open air!

In Numeracy this week we have been working on fractions, decimals and percentages. In Literacy we developed our summary writing skills. We also presented our Winter Olympic Group tasks to the rest of the class. We had all worked on a joint presentation using Freeform and some of us had been very creative with our use of IT.

We got together with our Dalguise activity groups and started planning rules etc for our group. We are very excited about next week.

Rotary Quiz! We have been doing different quizzes in class for the upcoming Rotary Quiz which will need 4 children to represent Newport Primary School. So far, we have done a sport quiz a science quiz and a geography quiz.  

Art! This week we made an art piece that was a perspective, the idea of this art piece was to make it look like you were laying down and looking at the city.   We had to use the centre point of a circle to point all lines towards. 

Writing! We used our newspaper articles and typed it on Adobe Express we used different templates and they came out great.

PE- In PE this week, we have been doing lots of Scottish dancing. We have gotten into groups and made up our own dances to a beat of 8. We got into groups of 4, then made a dance and taught it to another group to learn it.

Maths- In maths, we have been looking at integers and when we had finished that we looked back on circles. We looked at parts of a circle such as the radius, diameter, circumference, arc, and more.

Art- We have done lots on circle artwork, and we have done it on paper splitting it up into 8’s or 16’s. We have painted, while learning from an artist called Kristian Farr, who makes lots of art with circles. As well as doing artwork on paper, we have done it digitally on our iPads too!

Poems- Everybody recited their Scottish poems to the class (or to the teacher) on Friday, and Sophia-Rose, Holly, and Saoirse won the 3 best poets and will be reciting them on Monday to the school. We have also learnt the story of Tam O’ Shanter and even got to draw a scene from the story and compared them to AI.

Scottish Wars of Independence- We learned about the Lübeck letter from William Wallace and Andrew Murray and even created one of our own to print out. We also made our own wax seals to put on our letter!
