In Maths, we were learning how to measure angles and draw our own angles, for a partner to then solve and calculate the hidden angle.
During Hammer the Grammar, we were learning about prefixes, dashes, suffixes, hyphens and brackets. We were learning how to implement them into sentences and how to use them to improve our Writing.
With Mrs Kheirabi, we were learning how to write a report about Lions and some of us began typing that into a Microsoft Publisher document.
We spent Wednesday’s outdoor PE session playing Tennis with Miss Bancewicz. We practiced bouncing and volleying the ball with a partner. At the end we had to relay the tennis ball, balancing on our racquets.
On Wednesday afternoon, we had visitors from Education Scotland come to see US about our amazing Social Enterprise work! The three different groups were the Finance team, The Maintenance team and the Design team. We designed and painted our logo onto big boards for our first workshop, we asked plentiful questions about how to service a bike and got handy tips and we also secured some fabulous deals online for bike parts and accessories.
Ally came back to class on Thursday afternoon and filmed and recorded voiceovers from our Migration topic. Ally taught a selection of us how to use the camera equipment and microphone, which involved a lot of stiff arms! He recorded us talking about our experience and our families experiences of Migration.
Mr. Stewart was also in class, and helping us to pixilate videos. We were split into groups, and asked to create pixilated movies. We made these by taking lots of snappy photographs of small actions, and then merging them together. Group 2’s ‘Kidnap’ piece was particularly entertaining! Gurpreet even went home and created her own pixilation movie using the Stop Motion app.
In Science with Miss Brookes, we had to get different objects and shine a torch at it. We had a greyscale and we had to see how grey the shadow appeared, out of 7 shades.
We watched the fantastic Primary 5s perform their Barrowland Ballet piece.

“I enjoyed the pushing the border part as it was quite funny and infectious”; Abu Bakr Qasim

“When Mohammed Sami fell, he showed resilience and got straight back up”; Dany
