Today we had the accumulation of 3 months hard work – the Eco cities project.

We have been working hard to create a portfolio of our city of the future and a model to show off our cities.

The start of the day was a press conference where different cities had to fend off questions from the media.

Then we had voting from other classes

Finally, the big bad judges came to interview each group!

Thank you to all the children who worked very hard for 3 months on this project – we’re all winners.

In the morning we had Mrs Rutherford, she was teaching us about continents and maps!

After Playtime, we were performing a writing assessment – this is where we write our best piece of work to show all that we have learned this year.

After lunch we were putting the final touches on our Green cities project and setting up for the competition tomorrow!

Check back tomorrow to see the photographs of the competition!

This morning we went and had some fun gardening flowers , peas and potatoes and it was muddy!

After playtimewe went to assembly

In PE, some children had planned their own PE lesson for the class. It involved ballet, hip hop, tumbles and kicks.

Great job all round!

Finally, in Maths, we were making our own maths puzzles!

Don’t forget about the writing assessment tomorrow – prepare to write your own complaint!

Today we had a great day at school during sport relief!

Article – 24 – you have the right to good quality healthcare

Article 31 – you have the right to relax and play

This morning, we created a ladder for creating fraction number lines and we were finishing our personal ladder for anything.

Then, we went to P.E and brought our WAC jotters to make a learning ladder for the stations we have got.

We made 4 ladders for 4 stations, and wrote our own things we can do for each ladder.

🏀⚽AFTER PLAYTIME⚽🏀

After playtime, we started one of our daily mental maths challenge. We get 10 questions and only have 10 seconds to answer. We’re going to do this every morning to be prepared for the day. Today’s mental maths challenge is ordering decimals. “You need 10 tenths to make a whole”

In maths, we were learning more about number lines. Yesterday some of us were doing a worksheet on a spiral number line with fractions, decimals and percentages and now we are ordering them in a straight number line. We are using these blocks to help us:

🍕AFTER LUNCH🍕

After lunch we were sorting out characters into different sections. We have 12 sections to put them into.

Finally, we were making soda bread in cooking today and here is some pictures.

Article 24 Every child has the right to a clean and safe environment.

If you want to make bread at home, you can use this recipe

Soda bread recipe

340g flour

½ tsp salt

½ tsp bicarbonate soda

290 ml yoghurt

Preheat oven to 200 degrees

Mix the flour, salt and bicarbonate soda in a large bowl and stir

Make a well in the centre and pour in the yoghurt, mixing with a large fork to form a soft dough.

If the dough is too stiff add more yoghurt

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly

Form into a round and place on baking sheet

Cut across the top and bake for about 30 mins until the loaf sounds hollow when you tap the bottom

I.C.T  09:00-10:30

As we walked in the primary 6’s where in our class because Mrs Pollock was not in the school yet.

Shortly after we went to I.C.T where we were learning about fraction number lines and how to create fractions.

To learn this we played some games on fractions, Here are the links to these games if you want to play at home.

Literacy:

In Literacy we were learning about benchmark 20 and 13.

Benchmark 20: can evaluate relationships between characters, referring back to the text to support what you say.

benchmark 13: can children recognise which character the writer wants the reader to like or dislike.

We did a lesson that you had to go round on and write on different sheets with categories like; hero, saviour, comedy, distress, neutral, obstacle, undercover, villain, villain sidekick and hero sidekick.

Article 28

You have the right to education.

Here is a picture of the success criteria and one of the sheets.

This was the EXTRA HARD MATHS SHEET!

Article 27

You have the right to have a good enough standard of living.

IDL:

After Maths we did a learning ladder. We had to design our own ladder for different things we do in school.

Here is an example of some of the learning ladder:

Article 31

You have the right to play and relax by doing things like sport, music and drama.

Here are some great Fraction number line games to help us practice what we are learning in maths this week

HWB

We are going to be learning about how to be hygienic! This includes your own personal hygiene and keeping your house hygienic.

For homework you need to do the housework – put on a wash of clothes, hang them up and clean the kitchen in your house (don’t forget the hob). If you are feeling very adventurous, you can clean the bathroom! Ask an adult to help show you the best way to clean!

After break we did learning ladders of fractions. After that we did fraction posters here are some posters

Here is a really fun fraction game where grampy plays hide and seek and you need to find him

Then we had lunch

after lunch we did  pe. In pe we were doing gymnastics and what we can or can’t yet do and next steps.
