This week P5b have been learning about Iron Age Scotland. Everyone has created their own character, roundhouse and described the daily life of a family in prehistoric Scotland. P5b have achieved a great deal in a short time.

They have continued to learn about Place Value and revise their addition skills. We have started the novel The Titanic Detective Agency and written a factual account of life in Iron Age Scotland paying attention to punctuation and extending each sentence.

keep up the good work P5b

This term we have started to learn about Iron Age Scotland at the time of the Roman invasion. The children have designed their own roundhouse and worked together to make a hill fort in groups. It was good to see them working the layout of their fort as a group.

The class thought a great deal about their class charter. They debated about the what needed to be included to ensure that everyone could learn and play together happily. Everyone signed to agree to this charter.

As always we have had a fun and busy week. We started the week discussing road safety and about all the hazards we need to be aware of when crossing the road.

On Tuesday we went to visit Wallacewell Park again to compare how it had changed from when we last visited in September. We did some bark rubbings and looked at insects that live in the tree canopies. We were also lucky enough to see a deer.

In the creative enquiry room there was great team work happening to produce fantastic marble runs.

To finish the week we had our dance trio represent the class at the school talent show and began our presentations on a famous Olympian.

It was also time to compare class tomato plants. Tilly did well having produced 3 tomatoes but unfortunately not enough to win.
