Today it was our roman assembly we sang our song I felt so exited because I had a part and I served fruit and food and also flod the emperor with his wife 

Today we practised for our World War 2 assembly.  We have been working very hard to learn our lines.  It was fun and we still have five days of practise to go in school.  We can’t wait!

On Tuesday we did some writing about bees.  We got an iPad and found some information about bees.

Today for maths we were calculating the area of a right angled traingle.  The way we calculated the area was multiply the length and the breadth.  We then had to half the answer.  We had fun.

Yesterday we went out with some of the nursery children to find things to put in their bug hotel.  There were at least four bags filled with grass, twigs and leaves.  We walked around the whole school to find things for it.  We went back to the nursery garden and started to build the bug hotel.  It was an amazing experience for both the older and younger children.

Today for maths we did time durations.  We learned how to calculate 12 hour and 24 hours times durations.  The second page in our textbook was tricky but we learned never give up!

Today at PE, we were doing athletics on the grass.  We were doing different activities such as hurdles and running, plus a game of rounders.

Next Wednesday some children from our class will be going to the North Ayrshire Athletics Competition so we will need to train hard.

I have been learning all about fractions.

Today firefighters came to speak to the P6/7 classes about safety and bonfire night. The fire fighters showed us some videos about people who had been injured on bonfire night. Some people had been playing had been playing with fireworks, others were innocently enjoying a display. They told us not to play with fireworks or bonfires because it is dangerous.

They told us to wear gloves when using sparklers and keep them at arms length. We should also be aware of other people near us when we are using sparklers. A bucket of water should be kept beside the sparklers and the used sparklers should be put in the bucket after use. If you happen to catch fire, you need to drop to the ground, cover your face and roll until the flames stop. One adult should set off fireworks in a large back garden. If a firework doesn’t go off after it has been ignited, you must head indoors because the unexploded firework could go off at any time.

On Wednesday, speech therapists Mrs Johnstone and Mrs Fletcher came to visit our school.  Four children got to go to the nursery to play with the wee ones.  Then, the speech therapists came to talk to us about three tips for helping to talk to younger children.  These were: face to face, OWLING (observe, wait and listen) and follow your buddies lead.  We played the birthday game and did some acting.
