On Wednesday we had a great trip to Kelso to take part in a day planned by the inspire team. We used our I-pads to complete different activities and are looking forward to furthering these skills back in the classroom.
It was so nice to be on a trip out of the classroom after 2 years.

Our highlight of the week was welcoming parents back into the classroom. We had a great time showing off our photography skills and getting parents involved with the activities. The photos show the work we are most proud of today.

Thank-you to all the parents who made it in today.

Today, many of us came to school in fancy shoes to celebrate “shoesday” as part of walk to school week.  We had great fun.

This week has been a short week but we have still managed to get a lot of learning done.

We have continued with our topic on the decades and have been looking at popular music and dance moves from our decade. Next week we are going to record these moves and make a class dance.

In maths we have been looking at rounding numbers with decimals, focussing on rounding to the nearest whole number, tenth or hundredth.  Use the website below to practise rounding decimals… https://www.splashlearn.com/math/round-decimals-games

We have also been looking at perimeter in maths and solving problems using our knowledge of shape and perimeter strategies.

In writing we have edited and made improvements to our persuasive writing pieces from last week. Our teachers have been very impressed by them.

We had our first whole school assembly and it was great being back all together. We sang songs and met our ‘friends of Kingsland’ who are people in the community who work with children and schools in Tweeddale.

We have also had another Wellbeing Wednesday Session and have thoroughly enjoyed playing games, from the different decades, with one another.

In photography, we have started work on portraits and used different camera angles and backgrounds to create some spectacular photos.

Keep up the hard work! Mrs Brown and Mrs Smith
