This morning, before the sun came out, we had PE outside on the school field. We practised our throwing, catching and fielding skills before taking part in a game of rounders. Even though it was very cold, we had great fun.
Remember to keep practising the songs for the school show.
This afternoon we learned more about rationing with Miss Murray. We made carrot cookies, sequenced events to do with rationing, made a propaganda poster promoting rationing and investigated clothing rationing.
PLEASE REMEMBER YOUR BEAT THE STREET FOB TOMORROW!!!!
Maths – Data Handling
Toss a coin – Have your child toss a coin 20 times and use tallies to record whether it lands heads or tails. Now repeat the activity with a sibling or yourself. Collate the results and create a block graph to show the combined results. Compare graphs and discuss similarities and differences.
Media search – Ask your child to look at advertisements (on TV, in newspapers or magazines, in leaflets around the home) and to try to find examples quoting numbers of people responding to survey questions, for example, ‘86 out of 139 women said Magic Shine is the best shampoo’.
Surveys and questions – Ask your child to discuss or find examples of questionnaires at home. They could ask parents or carers if they have been asked for information as part of a survey or questionnaire, for example, giving feedback on products or about a holiday.

Health and Well Being
How many times can you Beat the Street? Will you walk, cycle or run? Don’t forget 2 hits = 1 point. Make sure an adult knows where you are going and who you are going with!
Songs for the Summer Show
Learn the lyrics for both songs. Children have been given a copy of the lyrics for both songs.
P5s- Hey Brother and Islands in the Stream
P6s- Ho Hey and Dance the Night Away
This morning we looked at worries some children maybe suffering from such as:
We learned it’s important to speak out and stay safe. We identified Trusted Adults who might be good to talk to and who can help us. We also learned about the work of Childline (Tel: 0800 11 11).
This afternoon, in the glorious sunshine, we joined up with P1 and P3. Together we Beat the Street with our special fobs. Later the 3 classes will compile a campaign video to promote Road Safety focusing on Walking and Cycling to school.
This afternoon we learned more about parables. We looked at the story of the Good Samaritan then explored it through drama. We worked in groups of 6. Our success criteria was:
Design the honey label competition
Success Criteria:
• I can make my label, bright, colourful and clear.
• I can include a name for our farm, name for the honey, date it was made and nutritional information.
• I can design a logo for the honey and include a motto.
There will be a winner from each house, plus an overall winner, which will be used for our actual honey jars in the summer.
The four winners will get 1,000, 750, 500 and 250 respectively. The overall winner will get 2000 house points.
Designs will be judged on the success criteria.
The children’s entries need to have their name, class and house on it.
They can use this template or design their own – their choice.
If children want to design them on a computer and print them out, that’s fine. If required, templates are available form Mrs Pollock.
Some designs for you to consider:
This morning we all headed over to The Luggie, our first visit since Spring began. We noticed a big difference in the vegetation. Miss Murray led our lesson on symmetry. With a partner, we had to create a symmetrical pattern, with 1 or 2 lines of symmetry, using material we found around the Luggie. Then we had to continue a pattern that another pair had created.
Tomorrow we are going to visit the Luggie. The weather forecast is ok but please bring a warm jacket, strong shoes or even wellies.
This morning we took part in Google Expeditions using the new app. Mrs Pollock led our expedition about volcanoes. It was totally awesome and we built on the work we learned during our topic on Extreme Earth. We thought it was a fun way to learn and give the experience 10/10.
