This morning we were practicing our thinking by using two different thinking routines.

 

+1 and “micro lab protocol”

 

these help us to develop our listening skills.

After playtime we were learning about equivalent fractions and how to simplify fractions.

 

Our UNCRC article this week is article 4

Governments must ensure that every child can enjoy their rights

 

we learned he government there is a children’s minister, whose job is to make sure that children are safe and healthy and that children have their rights.

 

Remember that tomorrow the p7s are going to the high school all day and need to bring packed lunch and a snack as well as their water bottle. Bring a warm jumper and coat as well as you will be outside a lot of the day.

When we came in today we got our cafè’s ready. If we had to make any more signs then we had to make them. Them we went down to the kitchen and did our cooking. Firstly if we had to make a salad or a fruit salad then we had to make that first.

Then it was play time. It was an in door cause people are digging up the play ground and making Sure that there are no holes in the ground. It wasn’t safe for us going out so the wet weather monitors went down to their classes.

Then we moved onto our hot stuff. When we have finished we went back to the class and started went over to other people’s cafès. It was really fun. Then the p7s  and p5/6s came in and went to peoples cafès. We even tried,  a very hot crisp and for some people there mouth was on fire.

While we were doing that it was lunch time. It was another in door cause it still wasn’t safe for us going out cause they were still digging so during lunch time the wet weather monitors when back down to their classes. People who don’t buddy stayed in the kitchen and helped tidyup.

Them we went to ict. We went with mr green and did  another cem test. It was only maths we had to do. While we were doing that Mr McMullan toke out some p7s and went to see the bee hive. He marked the queen be with paint all over her so the next time it will be easy to see her. We then looked at the video he took, if you want to see it, it will be on buzzing about bees.

When we came in today we started off by doing some spelling. If we haven’t finished our swarm of bees, that we started yesterday we had to finish of that first. When you are doing the spelling, you had to try and add eight of our spelling words. You had to do a Pararagh, but u couldn’t have, I, so or because at a start of a sentence.

Then we moved onto French. We had to wright out exactly what you are going to do from start to finish on our French cafè. The teacher wanted to know in detail:

What you are cooking,

How you are cooking it,

What you need to cook/prepare it,

And picture of how you are going to set out the food.

If u had any questions you have about how to cook something u could write it down and the teacher will answer it.

The teacher wants to know in detail because when we go tommorow and he says ok everybody go in case nobody knows, what they are going to do. Tommorow is when we are doing the French cafè, so if people need to bring in anything tomorrow, that is when we are doing it.( Be prepared ).

Then it was playtime when we finished. It was out door cause it was a shiny day again.

When we came back in we started off by doing a road saftey, completion . Well what we had to do is do a landscape picture about Sartre driving. Some examples what we thought people could do where:

Drunk driving, 🍷

Speeding, 🏃‍♀️

Too slow, 🚶‍♀️

Using you’re phone 📞,

Tired,

No seat belt,

Poor communication,

Faulty breaks,

Wrong lane,

Adjusting mist,

In the dark with full black on, or visible clothing on,

Weather,

Mirrors,

That was some ideas what we could do our Saftey posters about. You had to add a slogan, information about the thing you are doing, and maybe some top tips. It was really fun doing it.

E.g ( Slogan ) Slow down when you get down to town.

We did the saftey completion form break to lunch.

Then it was lunch time. It was another out door.

When we came in we started off by doing a song practise in p7s. So only stayed in there for 10 minutes.

Then we came back in the class, and the lady from the high school came in and she was talking about how we are getting there, and who we are walking with. Some people are in big groups, small groups, and some people ar going by their selfs. The lady went away at 2:15.

When the lady went away, we went outside.

When we came in today we started off by doing some spelling. We are learning to, practise new words, and to re practise old words that we already know. The teacher did some spelling shapes and that is when he doesn’t do the word he just does the outline of the word and we have try and work out what one it would be. It was really fun.

When we finished that we moved onto writing. In writing we are learning to use VCOP and to use WOW words. We had to either do a story, or an how to, about a swarm of bees. We had to use VCOP and not use boring words. We also had to try and make the peice of writing fun and exciting, not boring that they will fall asleep.

(Boring) E.g

It  was one day and me and my mum went to the zoo. We seen a elephant. It was big. Then we went to go and get lunch. We had salad 🥗. Then we went home and went to bed.

(Fun) E.g

Once upon a time we wen to the zoo. Firstly we went to go and see a tiger. When we got there the tigers were chasing a little kid. The little kid was shouting for help. Then her mum helped her and they went home. When finished seeing the tiger chasing the little kid, We went to go and get some ice cream. We went in the cafè and a kangaroo was eating all the ice cream. I was getting scared so we went home and went to bed.

Yesterday at break our bees did a cast swarm, (A cast swarm is when the don’t go far away the just move out near there hive), And then during lunch time, the bees did a real swarm. A real swarm is when the queens are hatching, and then the bees move out and the go on a tree or a bush “up high or low”  and they have a big cuddle. They fly about first then they get calm.

It was an outdoor, cause it is such a nice, shiny, hot day. We got 10 minutes extra.

We came back in and got ready for P.E, we went outside and did different activities. There was:

No show football,

Walking rugby,

Leah teaching a dance,

Horse,

Trim trail,

and whatever else they wanted to do.

Then it was lunch time. It was another outdoor.

When we came in the teacher was talking us about water cause people in our class is going into the little ones water fountain and filling it up and having a water fight. Miss Watson, had to clean up the people who had a

Then we came back in and started off by doing some maths.

In maths we are leaning about fractions. There was three groups. Doing the groups, I think, it is a good idea cause then the teacher can see where we are in maths and in our learning. We all had different learning success criteria. It depends what group you were in. In maths this term I think we have did quite a lot of different, fun stuff.

After maths we went to p7s and did a quick some practise. We went over the words again, and we sang it over and over a couple of times. We stayed in the class for 30 minutes. It got really hot.

Then we went outside again with p7s.

When we came in today we started off by doing French. We had to finish of our cafè, we started yesterday. When we finished we had to get a partner and play French hang man. Some people are working in partners, trio’s and people are doing it by them selves. When we finished that we moved onto literacy. We finished off our bee booklets. We are almost finished. When have to go throw what we have done and make sure we are still using the features. The features are:

Glossory,

We have to try and add in all of them. While we were doing the bee booklet the teacher put on a bee video . He showed us a video of a man looking for the queen bee and trapping it, but trying not to kill it. You have to be very careful, when u do it.

Then it was break time. It was an outdoor.

When we came back in we tidied up then went out for the daily mile.

Lazy daily mile – £1.50

We came back in and did some maths. For the rest of the team we are working on fractions. Today we are learning about fraction number lines.

Group 1 – Logan b, Keira, Katelyn, Kimberley,

There task was computer games on fractions, working with teacher, then finish of their work sheets.

Group 2 – Ryan, Lewis, Mathew, James, Royce, Connor, Josh,

There task board was

Group 3 – Carri, Kyla, cairen, And Logan,

There task was

When we finished it was finally lunch time. It was an outdoor.

Mrs McMillan came in.

We came back in and went to I.C.T. Firstly we had to do 15 minutes of typing, then we moved onto making our French cafè poster. We had to add our food, nice border, nice font, prices and allergy warnings. Then we went to p7 and did some singing practise. We watched the videos of it then sang it. We had to stay in there for 40 minutes.
