Today was sport relief and the whole school joined in with some activities for example blind folded line , dancing or rugby . We got to wear our own clothes to school if we brought a pound . We were in teams of 5 4 3 2 and 1.

Today we were doing H.W.B with Mrs downs and we were writing a plan for someone who has moved to Cumbernauld and writing the safe places to play and places not to play and the ups and downs about the places. We got information from the P5 so we knew what we were writing about. Examples of places not to play The Woods, Town Centre, Mcdonalds/Restaurants. Safe places to play Adventure planet, Air space etc.

Today we have been developing our programming skills by working together to programme the Beebots to follow a set route.
In class we have been learning to simplify fractions. Some people have been visualising while some have been using times tables to simplify fractions. Eg 15/3. You need to do 15 divided by 3, which is 5 so it would be 5 whole. By Ruben and Emma
In class we made an obstacle course and the aim was to program your partner while he/she was wearing a blindfold . With the obstacle course we wrote down in our W.A.C jotters’ instructions for our partner to follow while blindfolded. Now on the computers we are giving the computer specific instructions to follow the path and find the treasure chest.

Today a few people went up to Greenfaulds High School to see what a few classes would be like. We went into art and drama. In art we were out lining a picture of one of the three musketeers and when we finished out lining it we painted the picture with the correct colours. In drama we represented a still picture and dressed up into character and got different places and acted it out in a group of five.

Today day we were learning about programing, we took 1 person from each group and gave them commands such as: take 3 large steps forward or take 2 small steps back etc . The commands had to be specific as we were pretending they were a computer that had no code or memory. We learned that computers use code every time you click or touch something

Numeracy
We have been learning more about fractions in class. We have been identifying proper and improper fractions using the numerator and denominator. We then created visual representations of the fractions to show what the numbers meant. If we were feeling confident we then ordered the fractions on a number line and even converted them into decimals!
Ideas for further practise at home:
Literacy
Reading: Identifying main points – We have been learning to identify the main points in a text. This has helped us to summarise accurately.
Writing: Quality Description – We have been learning how to describe a character’s emotions without writing what the emotion is.
Grammar: All apostrophes – We have been learning when it is appropriate to use apostrophes and why. This includes contractions and possessive apostrophes – singular and plural.

Getting Ready for High School
Soon you will be visiting the high school you will be starting next year. This may be different high schools for different people. One thing you all have in common is moving on from Woodlands Primary and one thing for sure is that we will all miss you! Can you create a mini-book to show your best memories of your time here at Woodlands – no matter how long that has been!

Today Project Trust came to help us learn about Global Citizenship. We learned about some preconceptions that people might have about different parts of the world.
Today a Prison Officer came to speak to us about her job. She has been a Prison Officer for 29 years!
