What an excellent week!

• We have been learning about the story of the Poppy and what Remembrance Day is all about. We created some beautiful poppy pictures and all took part in a one minute silence.
• We have been learning about animals that live on the forest floor and researched an animal of our choice. We wrote an information report on our chosen animal and then created a piece of art work based on one of these.
• In Maths we have finished our block on subtraction and have now moved on to multiplication. Remember you can practise the trickier times tables on Hit the Button. This will help you increase your recall speed and confidence with these.
• In Health and WellBeing we have been talking about reasons why people might take drugs or alcohol and their impact on peoples’ mood. We have continued to talk about relationships and how we form these.

What has been your highlight of the week and why?

This week has been another great week.

We all watched The Lorax Live on Tuesday and thoroughly enjoyed it. It explained climate change really well and made links to COP26.

We have been learning about plants in the rainforest and how they have adapted so that they can survive in the extreme climate. We then used this information to create an information report on rainforest plants.

Our classroom is starting to look like a real rainforest and we have all taken on different jobs to make items for it. Each week we will add to our display with our new learning.

In maths we are finishing our block on subtraction. Ask us to show you; the written method, number line method, missing number method or expanding numbers method. We have been working very hard on this.

In Health and Well-being we have been discussing relationships and how we are connected in different ways. We enjoying thinking about our connections with each other in class. We have also covered drugs education and have been learning about legal and illegal drugs and the impact they can have on someone.

Today we watched a live performance of the Lorax from The Old Vic Theatre. We all really enjoyed it. It looks at important issues around sustainability which are also currently being discussed at the COP 26 meeting in Glasgow.

A group of children received certificates for completing a forest schools course last term. They had a great time and represented the school well. Great job everyone! 👏👍

P6 had a great day on Friday. We played games and completed spooky art.

Well done everyone.

P6/7 had a super spooky day today.

We had dancing, dooking for apples, Kahoot! quizzes, super sour sweets, party games and food!

Mrs Smith was very impressed by all the efforts of the children in class.
