First To start of to the blizzering morning we went to assembly to do a lot of songs mr green chose the best singers to pic songs he did spring chicken,as one  and a healthy life etc from my opinion it was great.

We got back and we ONLY HAD 10 MINUTES! we were looking at landscapes\landshapes in Scotland there are 700  islands in Scotland isn’t that amazing there are lots of tourists but there would be way more if the weather was better we looked at river lochs and sea lochs.🇫🇮

After that we went and over each and every safety things so we can be safe when we are cooking for my opinion I’m extremely excited for Thursday when we Cook so we have to be extra Careful for it.

Next is maths we did a worksheet for division Afterthat we played will it divide  no one won 🙁 but someone got so close there were 4 contestants my opinion was to start safe them at the end take the risk!

After we moved on to literacy we started with spelling them moved onto readind to do critical evaluation because we will be doing it a lot in high school

We started on a book we have never read someone read first so we got an idea on what we’re doing we are going to be looking into the similes and metaphors a critical evaluation is to do what u like and don’t like about your book and give your opinion about It.you had to underline what u liked about it.📖

Next we started doing the evaluation  it was really interesting after we don idl we planned our eco friendly travel then it was the end of the day bye.

Today in language we were learning to focus when we were reading. We read for 30 minutes without stopping.

Then we had to answer questions with quotes from the text to prove our answers. This is one of our language benchmarks.

In PE we were playing full badminton games where e had to move our feet towards the shuttle. We also had to keep our eyes on the shuttle.

After PE we continued with our “GREEN CITIES” project.

By Calum Hayden

In the morning everyone came in with a smiley face.

Firstly, we did a R.A.T sheet. A R.A.T is 3 words that can only be linked to one word. For example cottage swiss and cake. The word would be cheese.

After that, we did our Green Cities project.

To explore the geographyof different cities.

To choose an ideal location for my eco city.

I can research where different cities are located. I can chooses a country and place for my city.

I can identify the pros and cons of different locations.

Here is what we were doing to achieve the success criteria.

we were learning about the pros ands cons of putting a city in the mountains, on land,or on the coast.

Here are some pictures of Mr Mcmullan’s project:

After break time we went straight to a house assembly. In assembly we did a house quiz to earn points. All of the houses did very well! When we came out of assembly we went straight for lunch.

After lunch we did a game of press the buzzer if it’s your reading book.

Here is a picture of people playing the game:

After we had finished the game we found out the winners the nouns were the winners.

Finally we did our project plan Here are some photos:

Have a good weekend

Today we got our “green cities” project up and running.

The first task was to develop recognisable and attractive branding for the city and it’s companies.

Here are some great examples so far.

In PE, we were testing our fitness with the bleep test. Check out how sweaty and hot these kids are! We pushed ourselves to the limit. Well done everyone.

By Mr McMullan

This morning everyone came in with a smile.

Today we started by heading to assembly for a house assembly we had to walk around the school 5 times! We all enjoyed it but after that Mr Green told us about how this year there is going to be Woodlands got talent lots of children are excited after that we headed for breaktime.

After breaktime we came in to see R.A.T all the childre were trying to guess what the word was to relate to all three words. Lots of children were trying to figure out but, in the end alot of children got them. I personally really enjoyed them and want to do it again and i think a lot of other children want to do it again aswell.

After we went over the answers, Every child had to finish or start the summary on their book we had to use lots of skills here they are:

To include qutoes from the text, To include main events in the story, To identify which changed the course of the story or were really important and why, and to give your opinion on the book and charcters. Every child included these and we re-read our books to get even more information. Mr McMullan was going over five diffrent benchmarks. One of these benchmarks are benchmark four,

“Can children refer back to the text to support predictions, thought and opinions?”

Here are some of the children’s amazing summarys.

Then we all headed out for lunchtime, After lunchtime we finished off our growth mindset flowers we startd yesterday and we produce some fabulous work for our good work wall.

Thanks for reading bye,

Maths

We are learning about division! Division is when you split up a number into equal groups. We can do this two ways – grouping and splitting. Organise these sums into sums that can be done equally and sums that can’t be done equally.

12 / 3                           24 / 5                            18 / 3                  45 / 9

22/7                    43 / 6                           54/ 9

101 / 3                         243 / 3                         1,921 / 3            888 / 6

Language

We have learned about Remote associative tests (R.A.T.). This is when you get three words and there is another word that links them.

For example –                    Ball           Big             Stool

The word that links them is              foot

Football                                bigfoot                        footstool.

Make up your own one – do it backwards!

We also have new spelling words – learn them backwards! On Friday we will see how well you can say them backwards.

IDL

Fairtrade fortnight is coming up in a few weeks, so we need to plan the Fairtrade tuckshop.

I want to know which chocolate bars you can get that are Fairtrade and what the cheapest price you can get them for is (per 100g). You can visit a shop or use the online websites!

This morning we came into class and put up our name for what we want for lunch, we got new seats this morning and on our desks we had to complete some maths cards with our partner.

We wrote some of the sums from the math cards in our jotter, we started a new maths topic on divission, we were learning splitting and grouping and different names for division and different ways to learn division.

We were looking at a division game on the smartboard to help us understand  it. Before break we had to complete some division sums on the chalkboard and in our jotter, /= this is another symbol for division. 

We wrote an evaluation for our work.

growth mindset

After lunch to help develop our growth mindset we had to create a tower out of spaghetti and marshmallows.

the point of this was to teach us to not give up when something is extremely difficult and if we keep failing at something not to give up.

By Zoe

This morning in maths we were developing our growth mindset by exploring tricky word problems. Try this one for yourself!

Tomorrow in maths, we are starting division! If you want a headstart, check out this website.

Assembly

At assembly some of us gave a presentation about our global warming topic work. We explained how the energy source works and how we built our models.

PE

In PE we were continuing to develop our hand eye coordination and applying it to badminton.

HWB

We were also applying what we had previously learned about cyber safety to help us create a cyber safety mascot. This mascot will be displayed in the classroom and we will show it to the rest of the school to help them to stay safe online.
