On Monday 4\11\13 we came to school as usual and after break came into class. We were introduced to a new teacher called Miss Leask. Then we told our weekend news. Some of the news was really funny. After that we started doing spelling.
We all got our sheets and started on with our spelling. My group which was me, Nicola, Hermione, and Stephanie had a word search to do. Some of the clues were really hard and we had to use a dictionary to help us find the words we needed. Then we had to write the letters that write the letters that were in the highlighted boxes and had to spell out a word. The word was arachnophobia. After we had spelled out the word we went onto the next bit of the work sheet. The next bit of the worksheet was quite easy all we had to do was choose 2 words from a list and illustrate them. The final bit was a bit boring what you had to do was copy out 16 words twice and then a third time into your spelling jotter. Then we had break
After break we moved our way onto maths. Our group started off with Mr Hewitt telling us what our mini topic in maths was. We learnt about Prime numbers and factors. After we had had some help we started on a really fun maths game what you had to do was somebody in your group gave you a factor and you used squared pieces of paper and you had to times them with the numbers that could go with the other number then try to draw a rectangle with the right multiplications.
After maths we started to make brochures for our roman villas what we had to do was we had to advertise on a brochure why people should come to visit our villas.
Once we had done a bit on our brochures we had lunch then we brushed our teeth then the p6`s went and did JRSO [Junior Road Safety Officer] planning. The others went with Mr Hewitt and made class portraits. Then it was time for gym.
In gym we started with a warm up. The warm up we did was a catchie game Lewis made up it was a game called karate catchie. Once we had warmed up we played piggy in the middle with 4 or 3 people. Then we played bench basketball. After we had played that we got ready for home.

At the start of the day we did Just Dance, it was Just Dance 2014. One of the songs we did was ‘Blurred Lines’. This got everybody going in the morning.
Next we did our class work for term two targets. We have also just started to work on the school Christmas show script. It was good fun working on this today, as their were lots of funny jokes in it.
It was then time for break, we got to play outside as it was a dry day.
After break we did our Roman villa brochures. My group is with Lewis and Flora, I am enjoying this topic.
We then went to have our dinner it was fish cakes followed by cinnamon shortcake which was very good.

Happy Halloween. This morning every one came dressed up in some great outfits for the party in the afternoon. The outfits we saw were Vampires, Skeletons, Pirates, witches and lots more.
In the morning we started off with handwriting. We were focusing on the letter I. it was good .After we had finished our handwriting we moved to another desk and marked that persons work and we either gave them green, yellow or red. I think it’s a good idea because you know what you have to improve on.
After that we started writing the school play script. I was with Lewis and we wrote a funny sketch.
Just before lunch Mr Hewitt took us up to the staff room and told us horror stories and some of them were quite scary.
After lunch we had a Halloween party in the hall first we started off with ‘musical arm’s’ which is when the bigger class would hold out one of their arms and the little class would run round and when the music stopped the little class would go to the nearest arm and it’s a bit like musical chairs and one arm would go out each time. It was fun then we played the ‘group game’ when you would dance around then Mrs Perry would shout a number and you would need to get into a group of that number. We played pass the parcel and Nicol won. To finish of the day we played musical statues and me, Stephanie and Emmy won.

First thing this morning we sorted out our pots of equipment.
Then we played a game where we had to answer a maths question in Roman numerals within thirty seconds. If you knew the answer you stood up if the first person to stand up got it wrong the next person to stand up would answer and so on until someone got it right. The winner won a new pencil and rubber.
After that we played the alphabet game which is were in our table groups we have to write a different animal for each letter of the animal without talking or making noises so you could act or point to letter sand it is really hard. The winners were the only team who hadn’t made a single noise which was the crazy baboon gorillas go bananas.
Then we all made postcards which we pretended we were going to send to a friend or member of our family to tell them what we had done this holiday .It was a nice change to what we usually do and We all had something interesting to write about.
Then after break the whole school came together to decide what we wanted to do for our school play we all decided to do a talent show. We can’t wait to start writing the script.
After that we went swimming this was our last week of swimming and we were all being assessed. When that was done we got the rest of the time to play with flippers, floats and balls we were also diving into the deep end. It was really fun and we all loved using the flippers.
By Hermione

As soon as we got into class we had to look back on the many things we have done this term and fill out our term one reflection to go into our PLPs, we have done this term. Then we had to answer the questions on the sheet like what was our favourite thing we did this term, the thing we least liked this term, what we need work o next time and some of the things we learnt. We were all amazed at the amount of things we have done this term.
After that we started maths today my group was learning about Fibonacci’s sequence. Then we had to make a poster about Fibonacci and how he discovered his sequence and also find out about where we could find the Fibonacci sequence in nature.
After break we continued working on our Roman myth Animations and can’t wait to finish them and show all the other groups. Our animation is based on the myth of the Roman gods Mercury and Apollo.
When our hour was up it was time for lunch then we all went swimming this week in swimming we were doing lots of different kinds of races. Everyone said they really enjoyed it and want to do more races next time we go swimming.
At the end of the day we started watching Stig of the Dump, based on the book that Nicola and Flora have been reading this term.

At the very start of school we had our first break of the day.
We started the day with handwriting. Today we focussed on the letter g.

After break we had maths. My best topic is maths. My group is called the Multiplying Monkeys. We did multiples for maths. Multiples are numbers that are within a times table, like 10, 20, 30 would all be multiple of 10. I enjoyed it.
After maths we continued with our Roman villas. I had to stay on my own for a while because my group was busy making a card for Mrs Mcdonald because she is leaving the school. It was hard work because you couldn’t use sellotape and you need to do a lot of stuff to make it. I found making the villas fun. We got them finished and now we have to make a brochure to advertise our villas.
At 12.45 we had lunch. We had roast lamb. At lunch time today we said goodbye to Mrs MacDonald as a school and gave her some cards, a present and a bouquet of flowers.
After lunch at 1.30 we continued on our villas.
For the last thing of the day at 2.25 we had music. We sang the songs with two wings and oot bewast the horn o papa.

Roman villas are huge houses that would have been kept by fancy Romans . I am enjoying this topic. After that we looked at our blogs and other school blogs, I found this quite interesting to see what other bairns are learning about. It was then time for lunch and it was fish and chips as usual on Friday. Everybody enjoys Louise’s dinners. Then it was outside to play on a windy day. I played with Bethany and Katie. The other bairns played catchie.
