Riding for the Disabled


Riding for the Disabled Moray are back in operation after winter storm damage meant they could no longer use their Burgie location. They have secured new premises at Miltonduff and carried out extensive work in order to resume the riding sessions this month. There have been news articles in the local newspapers to publicise this and currently the Co-op have them as one of their featured charities.

Numeracy

We have been learning to convert 12 hour to 24 hour time and reading and creating timetables.  We have also been practising mental maths and converting larger numbers from Roman Numerals.

We have been working on exciting writing and so far we have explored how to describe a setting for a story.  We will be working on characterisation next term.  We have also been exploring parts of speech, such as verbs, nouns, adverbs and adjectives.
