Between the rain showers today, we managed some games outside.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

This morning, near the end of our maths lesson, we went outside. We  had to explain to each other what we had learnt in our place value lesson and make up questions to test our understanding of today’s lesson.

This afternoon, we continued our work on Cultures.  Having looked at what culture is, our own culture , and compared other cultures, we started to create our own tribe and what their culture might be.

This afternoon we continued our work on colour theory. We learned how to make tones then created our own abstract designs using the tones we made. Next time, we will look at tinting.

Today we started to think about Place Value and we created a poster to illustrate all the things we could remember from before.  At the beginning, we only had a few ideas but by the end our posters were almost full.

For now, we don’t get out to play at lunchtime but straight after lunch , we go out for the Daily Mile.  Unless the weather is really, really bad, we will go out so make sure you bring a jacket with a hood to school.

Already P6/7A are working well together.  Yesterday, I asked our class what they’d like to learn. Quite a few people asked to learn about different culture so we started this morning by learning what is culture before identifying aspects of Scottish Culture.

As we have a  shorter lunch break, we now have an afternoon break.  This is proving to be very popular with our class! 👍🏼

What a great start to a new academic year. It was lovely to all be back at Woodlands together.  Here are a few photographs from our first day together.  Remember if you didn’t bring water bottle to school today , bring one tomorrow.

Good Morning Everyone,

I can’t believe that today is the last day of term!  This has been a wonderful year, despite everything we have experienced recently. I have loved being your teacher and you have all made me so proud each and every day! Thank you so much for being an amazing class. I have missed you all these last few months. Have a look at the photos from our time together this year. Have a fabulous summer and I’ll see you all back to school in August.
