Our writing this block is poetry, so we are becoming collectors of words!

We have written poems in different styles and his week it was Haikus and limericks. Both of these poetry types have a specific length, rhythm and number of syllables.

Haikus are mainly about nature, and limericks are usually nonsense!

In maths we learned about tenths and hundredths, and how to write tenths as a decimal. This helped us in a measure task, as we measured tenths of a metre strip and marked the tenths as decimals.

Our topic is about the surface of the Earth and we learned how tectonic plates converge to form mountains. This happens over millions of years.

Our Skipper topic, ‘respect yourself’ teaches us that we are unique and shouldn’t try to be somebody else. We listened to a story in which the mouse realised he didn’t need to have a lion’s roar to be brave and use his voice.

We watched the school Scots celebration yesterday and were really impressed by the poetry, dancing, singing, art and bagpipe playing. It was braw. Well done to everyone involved.
Thanks to Mrs Clyde for the delicious Scottie dog shortbread!
