Maths – Probability

In maths we have been learning about probability.  We have been discussing how we can use the phrases certain, unlikely, likely and impossible to describe the likelohood of an event occuring.  We also learned about evens meaning that there is a 50-50 chance of something happening.

Can you choose one (or more) of the phrases and write an event that’s likelihood is described by the phrase.

Homework

This wee we have:

Spelling Homework

This week we have been learning more suffixes in our spelling lesson.  We are looking at the suffixes:- “ant” “ent” “or” “er”

This suffix means -someone who.

For example someone who bakes is a baker

Can you list an example of each suffix on the blog.

Visit from Computer Centre

Today Mrs McCabe from the North Lanarkshiere computer centre visited our class to help us set up our e-portfolios. These are our very own blogs that chart our progress in all our subjects. It also allows staff in school to find out about what we are learning.
