We are in our second week back after the Christmas holidays and we hope you all had a great New Year!
We have kicked off this year with our Scots language topic and we have all decided on a Burns poem to learn. We will be learning The Twa dogs, Westlin Winds and The Rights of Women. In maths, the class have been focusing on fractions. Also, we touched on speed, distance and time. We recorded times for ourselves in ten metre races and used Microsoft Excel to figure out our speeds by dividing the distance by the time.
In literacy, we are learning about explanation writing. We did comprehension through music to Bastilles Pompeii track and had to explain what was going on. The class have only just started the literacy topic so we haven’t learnt much yet.
In Art, we are learning about Op art. Op art is a type of art that uses optical illusions, colours and lines to create something that we think we see but we don’t. The class are focusing on op artist Bridget Riley.
In science, we are learning about evolution and inheritance. We did a task where you had to mix a famous male and a female and drawn what we thought the child would look like and what they would inherit from the adults.
