On Wednesday 22nd February we are hosting the next Intergenerational Community Cafe. This will be a wonderful afternoon where you will have the opportunity to entertain some residents from Erskine Hospital and the Bishopton community.

One of the activities you will be involved in is singing the song below to our guests. We will be practicing in class however you will also need to practice at home too. Please access the video and lyrics to the song below. The lyrics are slightly out of sync on the video but don’t worry as I will give you a paper copy to use at home.

Today we carried on learning about o’clock – this time with the digital clock.

We sang a couple of songs.

2 random requests please. We need 4  empty 2litre bottles for tomorrow and someone has lost a lovely Christmas book from Read and Munch – Father Christmas needs a wee.  If you have it, could you please return it.

Thank you

Over the last week we have been learning about comparing different deals in money. We learned how to compare different prices using percentage discounts and how to stick within a budget.

We had great fun on Friday finding the cheapest deal for Miss Grant’s shopping! Today we decided to book a European holiday! We had to work through a small booklet with a selection of destinations, flight prices, activities and items to pack. Using a budget of £3800, we had to plan a holiday for two people keeping a certain amount of spending money by for the holiday! We all did very well and enjoyed learning how to calculate all the different sections of the holiday! We also remarked on how much different things were! I think we have a small idea of how much different holidays cost now! We hope you enjoy our pictures!

We are lucky enough to be starting a new engineering project with Mr McAvoy. Over the coming weeks we will be working on building our very own car in teams that will be powered by battery! We will be practising skills in maths, technology, art, science, creativity and teamwork.

Last week a real engineer named Matthew came to speak to us about being an engineer. He told us about different types of engineering as well as what items we use that are engineered. He also bought in his own engineering uniform for one of us to try on whilst learning about safety equipment! We then went on to create a design for the car in our teams! We really enjoyed the afternoon and look forward to our next session. Matthew will be in at times to help us with our cars! We hope you enjoy our pictures!

Last week we visited Clydebank Library to learn more about the Clydebank Blitz as we started our new topic.  We learned more about this significant event and created our own Morse code machines. After this we looked at different items from the event.
Thank you again to our helpers.
