Today we learned about a controversial issue: “Should wolves be reintroduced into the Scottish Highlands?” We researched both sides of the argument and created our own pieces of persuasive writing on the subject. We also published our writing using the class iPads. What do you think about bringing wolves back to Scotland?
We looked closely at our data and arranged it into a bar graph so that our results are clear and well presented.
It is clear from these results that crows and gulls favour Glenmanor the most!
How could we encourage smaller, garden birds to our school areas?
These keen beans created their own fabulous poetry books for homework. Well done!
Today we learned where in the world Africa is. We completed a mapping task and familiarised ourselves with the names of the African countries.
This week, we will be starting our new topic, ‘Africa; We are All Born Free.’
Please think about what you already know about Africa and what you would like to learn in advance of our lessons this week.
Attached is a copy of your topic homework which will allow you to find out more about Africa.
These hard workers earned themselves the title, “Star Writer” and a prize from the class treasure box! They managed to write discursively about their village, Moodiesburn.
We have been learning how to multiply and divide decimal by 10, 100 and 1000. We used these cool decimal sliders to visualise the process!
We also ordered decimal numbers from lowest to highest on a cool smartboard game.
I found this game online. If your child would like a bit more practise they could play the addition within 10 and the double numbers game. 
This afternoon P1 went out on an exciting scavenger hunt in the school garden.
The children had to listen to a riddle before working together to find the answer.
Everyone managed to to work well in their teams and remain on task during such an exciting lesson.
The he children and I are looking forward to doing something similar another day!
We learned how to use a protractor correctly today to measure a variety of angles.
