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!
