Mental agility – addition
We are looking at mental addition this week and we are trying to get quicker at recalling our number bonds to 10/20. This is a great website where we can reduce the amount of time we are given to answer questions. How quickly can you get ten out of ten?

playscripts
We have been learning how to write play scripts this term. Here is one between George and Grandma:
Grandma: What did you put in the medicine Worm?
George: I put in toothpaste and brown paint.
Grandma: No wonder it was disgusting!
George: You kind of deserved it because you are quite mean Grandma.
Grandma: Me mean? I’m not mean!
George: As well as that I put in some nippy things including horse radish sauce and some chillies.
Grandma: No wonder my tummy went on fire!
code cracking maths
On Monday we had great fun in maths. We were given number clues that we had to work out and each clue was a number that opened a padlock. Once we opened the padlock we got the next clue and had to keep going until we got to envelop number 4. The first table to crack all the clues was the Matilda table.

P4b worked hard to produce these beautiful dragonflies to put up at the Peebles horticultural show last weekend. Lots of people were admiring them and saying how lovely and colourful they were. Well done everyone who entered the children’s section and won prizes!
