This week we completed our abstract self portraits and reflected on how the colours represent our own personalities.

We’ve explored BSL (British Sign Language) in the creative enquiry room.

We were all successful in our transformation assessment and developed settings for our upcoming short stories.

We’ve been learning about Fractions. I know the Numerator and Denominator make up the fraction. Finn

I can use the Bar Model strategy to show a fraction. Even hard work like for P6! Sara

I enjoyed developing my passing skills in Football this week. Lots of people worked very hard. Ruaridh R

I enjoyed creating a poster with the facts about Easter. We got to decorate it like a giant Easter egg. Jessica

I liked learning how Easter eggs popular to represent parts of the Easter story. Bella

I really liked working out Equivalent Fractions by using strategies and remembering whatever you do to the numerator you also do to the denominator. Samuel

I enjoyed learning about Fractions. Maisie

I liked Art and dancing. Maria

Only one person in class would choose to have a real egg instead of a chocolate egg – and it isn’t Mrs Wightman!!

This week P5b managed to continue some of their symmetry tasks outside before the weather changed for the worse! Revision of the 4 operations is ongoing. In literacy P5b were learning to write a newspaper report about a natural disaster. I have been impressed with their progress.

Everyone enjoys Thursday afternoon as we have STEM in the creativity room . Lots of learning and fun.    Mrs. Jodah

This week we’ve been focusing on collating data and displaying it using a range of graphs.

We’ve made a real effort to develop our communication skills through team games, by giving encouragement and constructive criticism.

We created detailed character profiles to be used in our upcoming short stories.

This week we’ve been learning about co-ordinates in 4 quadrants, and using this information to create pictures of beloved Disney characters. As well as this we developed our understanding of probability.

To continue in our artistic vein, we created abstract self portraits using our learning about line, colour and shade.

As part of our P.A.T.H.S course we’ve been finding “win win” solutions to conflict resolution scenarios.

This week P5b have been continuing their writing, learning skills to write a report about Natural Disasters. They have used the information they previously collected using note taking skills. There has been a good effort to produce an interesting report by everyone.

In Mathematics P5b are now completing money and have moved from angles to learn about coordinates. This should lead us to map reading and sometime outside focusing on orienteering. Fingers crossed the weather is kind to us!

This is the last week of the Forces topic. The children have enjoyed the theme to then go off and plan their own learning on a Thursday afternoon.

This week we’ve been absolutely nailing procedural writing, creating detailed sets of instructions for games and recipes.

Our golf game continues to improve, and we’re now capable of playing short rounds over longer distances.

In numeracy we’ve been using protractors to accurately measure angles, and draw triangles from given specifications.
