This morning we were learning French.

We we were describing our families and are now able to write a lot in French.

In language we were learning to improve a piece of text by searching for  mistakes with a partner then added in to what we had already written.

In maths this we were learning to find the difference between two times.

Top tips – don’t get confused by 100 so always keep 60 in your head. If you have a sum you don’t know straight away use a number line.

During singing practice we had an epic sing off.

Mr McMullan and Liam crushed the opposition with journey!

After lunch we were working with Lindsey from the High School to get ready for the two day visit.

Enjoy the High School and do us proud!

Homework week beginning 29^th May

Maths

We are doing a week of time! Mainly we will be focusing on managing our own time and organising time within our lives. If you want extra work on telling the time, or changing the time between 12 and 24 hour time, let me know.

For homework

• Make up a timetable to organise your life, or someone at home’s life.
  • This could be organising everything you are going to do this weekend, or could be for a morning or if you want a challenge – for all of next week.
  • This requires the skill of estimating how long things take and leaving enough time unplanned delays.
  • Include a section to add in changes as you go.

School show

Listen to the songs at least 3 times – teach the words to someone at home.

Today the children came in with a big smile, because they all had such a good weekend!

French

Today in French, we were doing a worksheet. That you had to fill in the blank, there was a paragraph about someone’s family and you had to fill in the missing words. Also at the bottom there was a true or false sheet about the paragraph above. Here is a child’s work to show.

This child was very successful because he had his French book out to help and remembering past knowledge. He also had a accident with his water bottle and soaked his sheet, but it is still a great piece of work.

Writing

Today in writing we were, writing a letter to our future S1 high school  english teacher.  The high school sent a message to write this  and our English teacher will get it soon, you should start it in a interesting way to keep there attention. We told them stuff like:

• Hobbies
• Primary life
• High school
• Facts about you

Everyone was very successful as shown below.

This is child was very successful, they used similes, VCOP, connectives, openers, vocabulary, punctuation etc. Also this child has neat handwriting and is going to write this on a piece of paper so they can send it to the high school!

Healthy Mind

Make a Calm jar!

By focusing our thoughts, we can help settle our mind. This is particularly important when we are facing strong and difficult emotions such as stress, anxiety, anger and worry.

Shake the calm jar up and then watch it settle. This will help settle your mind.

Healthy body

Here are some physical challenges to try this week to keep yourself healthy

1. Running
   1. Get the strava app or “map my run” and try and run 1km or 1mile. Try it again later in the week and see if you can beat your time.
2. Circuits class
   1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_A_HjHZxfI
   2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqSzgzsDeaU
3. Go for a walk with someone from home
   1. The weather is going to be great this week and weekend – why don’t you go for a big walk and track how far you walked using strava or map my run. See if there is a local hill you can go up or try a munro!

This morning, we were practicing our songs for the school show with Mrs Rutherford. Then we went to the lunch hall for choir practice.

Before playtime, we were learning tricky words and made a quiz. Here are some words we learned!!

Coerce  Treacherous  Baleful  Ornate  Confidant

🏀⚽ PLAYTIME⚽🏀

After playtime, we were learning maths and we made another quiz. This week we’re learning about percentages. We found links from percentages.  Percentages link to fractions and decimals. 

Here are some quiz photos!!

After the quiz, we were writing in our jotters how we feel and what we have learned about percentages. Here is something we have learned: If there is 10 pieces of a cake, and one of the pieces is coloured in, that is 10% of the cake coloured in. That would be 0.1 in decimals, and one tenth in fractions.

From now on, each week we’re going to learn something new in maths, like one week we could do time, the next money, we could learn anything in maths!! Finally before lunch, we were working on a percentage textbook and we wrote our assessments. Here is our fraction, decimal and percentage maths book!!

🥤🍟LUNCH🍟🥤

After we had our lunch, we went to P.E to work on our agility and athleticism. Our I can for this P.E lesson is: I can stay up on my toes, bend my knees and explain good techniques.

Before hometime, we were learning about an insect’s anatomy  and we made posters about it. We had bronze, silver and gold.

Bronze= Picture and Label           Silver= Title, all labels, info below label   Gold= Same as silver and bronze, plus interesting bee facts
