Our Learning Journey, so far

We are so sorry for not posting last term but Miss Wallace has been working us hard from the start of the year till now, we will try and make sure this won’t happen again. We now have monitors for doing our class blogs and we will try and have one up for you every week.

Literacy

For the first few weeks the whole class was reading a book called another me. The book is about a girl called Fay and someone is following her and people are saying that she was at places when she was not. After 4 weeks the class was put into 3 reading groups, they are :- The Ordinary School, Kaspar & Jammy Dodgers. Here are some of the opinions that they thought on their reading books.

The Ordinary School :-

Brooke – I wasn’t really interested that much. The characters didn’t capture my attention.

Tyler :- I’m enjoying the book and the different characters.

Kaspar:-

Chris :- I didn’t like it the setting, main events or characters. I couldn’t relate to them.

Jocelyn :- It is a really good book. I enjoyed reading it from start to finish. It was well written and it caught my attention throughout.

Jammy Dodgers :-

Ava :- I really like it because I found out more about the Victorian times. Billy was kidnapped and became a chimney sweeper. I found out about the work of a chimney sweeper and I would never would have liked that job for my wee brother or I.

Jake :- It was interesting learning about the bad people in Victorian times. I couldn’t believe what people would do to earn money. People in Victorian times must have been desperate for money and wealth.

Numeracy :-

In maths we have been learning about exchanging currency, using different payments to buy an item of high value. When learning how to exchange currency we had to figure out the exchange rate for the county by using an Ipad.  We times the exchange rate by how many pounds (£) you want to exchange.

In angles, we were learning how to use a protractor. A protractor is an measuring tool to find out how many degrees an angle is. It was a case of practise, practise, practise until we were successful.
