The digital leaders from primary 7 came into our class to teach us about sumdog. They helped us find the app on our IPAD and they showed us how to log in.
Sumdog is a fun app that helps us develop our maths skills.
In our homework folders next week you will find our log in details so that we can log in at home and play some fun maths games.

Primary 2/3 have been showing off what they have learned in gymnastics. They can perform their skills using apparatus. This has been challenging. They performed rolls, balances, jumps and poses. 
Primary 2 have been learning how to balance. They have also been working together to perform mirror balances.
We have been working on our balances in primary 2/3. We have been working in pairs to perform mirror balances.
Primary 6 have been working on using their gymnastics skills in a routine. Today they worked in groups of their own choice. The routines had to include rolls, inversions, round offs, cartwheels, balances and dance.
We ended today’s lesson with a bit of fun.
As part of our School Improvement Plan we are looking at our School Aims and Values.
Thank you to all parents who took the time to read and offer their feedback at our Parent’s Evening last night.
Our next step in this process is to consult with our children and staff to make our aims and values are written in a more child friendly language.
Today as we were reading our class novel, Kensuke’s Kingdom, we recognised that Kensuke and Michael had difficulties communicating. We learned some sign language today and used this to communicate a message to each other.
Aiden: “I found it hard because you can get mixed up with some of the letters”.
Conlan: “I found it quite easy to make the signs with my hand”.
Blayre: “I was able to understand Keelan’s message”.
Gabriella: “It’s really hard to understand your partner”.
Helen: “I found it hard to understand my partner”.
Emilia: “I liked when we were challenging our partners.”
Thank you to everyone who came to the second Bedtime Book Buddies group…. you were very brave to brace the weather! We listened to a lovely story called Eric Makes A Splash and we drew a new animal friend for Eric. We shared some great stories and giggled at Pirates Love Underpants. We will have our next meeting on Thursday 15th November.
Sara: “We were learning about measure length.”
Mia: “I learned that we could measure lots of stuff. Some are hard some are easy.”
Milosz: “That you don’t start at the beginning you start at the zero on the ruler.”
Louise: “Always put the zero at the start.”
Alan: “1 person held the start, 1 person was gluing in the animals, 1 person was drawing the line and the last person was holding the end.”
Chelsea: “We drew the chalk where the animal was.”
Leon: “We used a measuring tape to see where the animal was because the height was on the picture.”
Sara: “rhino”
Chelsea: “penguin”Alexander: “the penguin.”
Leon: “just at the rhino”
