On Friday primary 1-7 all danced to just dance on the wii, like we always do. Then we started our news report while doing our spelling test. After that we had our milk and water and went for break.
Then we got into our pairs for paired reading, some of the pairs are Nicola and Emmy, Loui-Bo and Katie, Flora and Laura.
Once we had finished paired reading, primary 4-5 continued on with their roman leader fact files, primary 7s did the library, while primary 6 did JRSO road safety week. Then we all washed our hands and went for lunch it was fish and chips.
After lunch our class wrote in the assembly folder. Then it was time for golden time. Golden time is when you have to be good for the whole week but if you are bad you get six minutes less time on Friday. If you are good the whole week you have an hour to play around the school.
Last of all it was the school assembly then home time.

When we came to school, we had tag rugby. We played bulldog which is when there is a one catcher in the middle and they shout “bulldog” and then everyone else has to run to the other side and the catcher has to try to catch the people. We played a few games of that. Then there were a few hoops, we had to kick or throw the rugby balls into them and if you got it into the basketball hoop, you got 100 points. Then we had a few matches of tag rugby.
After that, we had listening skills that is when our teacher gives us instructions and we have to do them.
Then it was break and I made a line of chalk on the playground.
After break, it was maths. In maths I was dividing by 2, 4, 5 and 10, and some had reminders. I found it hard. We did that for an hour.
After maths it was lunch and after lunch I carried on with my very long line of chalk.
Next, we had our animations. Our animations were about a Roman myth and ours was about Pandora’s Box.
After that, we had to practice for the school show. It’s about a talent show that is trying to find a really good talent that includes Christmas.
Tuesday 19th November
At the start of the day Mr Hewitt took us into the class room and had said what we were going to do today but today was a little different because he had written what we had to do all jumbled up because we were going to do our own time table. So wrote down what we had to do on a sheet of paper and what times we were doing it all at.
I started off with maths and it took me 30 minutes to do me, Hermione and Stephanie was dong function machine and it was quite hard but fun at the same time. Emma and Erin was doing adding and subtracting they thought it was ok.
For language we did news reports so first we would watch the news round clip then watch it again but take notes on what you thought was interesting like me and Nicol did about typhoon hiayn Emma, Lewis and Erin did about a new robot that herds cattle and Loui-Bo and Hermione did about the new scientific report about mars and that 4 billion years ago it might have been a bit like earth with water and hills, over all I thought it was a fun way of learning about the news around the world.
For handwriting we did the letter k .We also did French Mr Hewitt took groups of four out to learn about French families like asking if you had any brothers or sisters we also had to draw a picture of your families and write down the names of your family in French like Dad would be Papa and so on it was quite funny hearing some of the people talk in French.
We also made fact files on Roman emperors. We went on the internet and got fact on a roman emperor of our choice and got as many facts as possible then sometime next week we will be making a fact file of their life. Overall it was a good day

In the morning we did our project that is roman emperors I am doing Caligula that was fun. We looked at Roman crime and Punishment. That was funny as there was one method they used to punish people where they tied them into a sack with a Gorilla, dog, rooster and snake then threw them into the sea. Then it was maths I am doing addition and taking away that went ok. Then I went for break I had Sunbites for piece .
People were taken away in groups to do spelling with Miss Leask that was fun. At the same time we were doing language and our other spellings that was exciting. Then it was dinner for dinner it was quiche or veggie fingers I had quiche it was good. Last but not least it was PE we did dodge ball that was really fun then it was home time.
Thursday 14th November
When we got into class the first thing we did was learn about similes and metaphors. A simile is a description which is “like” so you say it’s like something and a metaphor is saying it IS something. So “He was like a roaring lion” would be a simile but “he was a roaring lion” would be a metaphor. We had to write a descriptive piece of writing about a fantasy scene.
After that it was break time
When we came back into class we were doing maths. In my math group we are learning about equations and it’s really confusing as after October I forgot what “n” was but then I remembered. After maths we did some work on our roman brochures which are making booklets or leaflets like a Roman estate agent to try and sell the Roman villas we made last term.
After we did that we had lunch which was lentil soup and then mince and tatties.
When we got back to class we were going to do a full show rehearsal. It was pretty quick for some reason and we got through the whole of it in two hours. Our play is called `Skelds got Christmas Talent.` While we were rehearsing, we made our show posters, P1-3 are going to decide which one we should use to advertise our show. Then after we rehearsed we read a bit of the class novel and went home.

At the start of the day we went to tag Rugby we went and got changed into our gym kits then we lined up. Daniel said you can go up to the gym hall, we then got our tag belt’s on. We started off with a game of British bull dog which is a game where there’s a catcher, and the catcher stand’s in the middle and you have to run across the gym hall and if you get tagged then you have to help the catcher catch people. It is really fun.
We then did passing back and forth with a partner I was with Nicol we passed quite well together we also did kick passes which we weren’t so good at. Noah was trying to pass to Stephanie but pretty much kicked at peoples head’s.
We then got split into groups of 3 and 4 we had two groups of 3 and one of 4 we then did games, we changed it a little so when we scored then we actually got a try. Then we needed to kick it over the basketball hoop, the red’s won all the matches because they had the most accurate kick’s.
We then went back to class were we did listening skill’s we had to write down numbers that Mr.Hewit said. They were all six digit’s except from one that was challenge which had seven. I got 4 out of 7.
We then watched news round we were watching what happened in Philippines when the storm struck.
After break we did math’s our group were doing posters for prime numbers and factors and factor pair’s. Jason was ill so it was just me and Flora doing the poster’s we made them colorful and joyful.
After that we went for lunch.
After lunch we did reading all of us read in groups expect Emma which read her book to Mr. Hewitt. We are reading Foxbusters by Dick King-Smith it is a very good book it is weird and funny.
We then did our posters for the school show, our school show is Skeld got Christmas talent I am a trow that is related to the elf’s.
We then did our animations on roman myth’s our one is about Mercury and Apollo, it’s looking good so far we have cows and 3 men and my favorite scene is when the cow gets turned in to a burger by the fire, also when he gets up on the cow. We then read our class novel which is demon dentist, it is really funny it is by David Walliams. It is about a boy that hasn’t gone to the dentist in a lot of years so he has do go to the DEMON DENTIST!!!!!

At school today, we did our listening skills. I found it easy. Our teacher read out four words then he would say them out again but miss out a word. There were four sets, I got four out of four. If you got full marks you got a piece of candy corn!
Next, we had weekend news. Weekend news is when you had to say your news that you did over the weekend to the class, or you say your news to the table you are sitting in. In my group were Emma, Loui-bo, and me. Anyway then our teacher picks someone from your table. I got picked. Then they go around the other tables and say your news and your table’s news.
Then it was spelling. Spelling is when you get a sheet of paper with 16 words on the back you have to copy them out two times, and do stuff to do with your words on the front. Our words were easy.
Then we had 15 minute playtime I was playing piggy in the middle.
After playtime, it was maths. In maths, I was multiplying by big numbers. Maths was for one hour. I found it tricky and hard.
Brochures were next. We had to make a roman villa and make a booklet to sell it to people I was doing the bit about the rooms. One person in our group was off so we had to work harder.
Then it was lunch and I was very very hungry.
After lunch it was Art and I had to make a collage of myself. P6 had to do JRSO, which means junior road safety officers.
Next was PE and we were doing basketball we were learning about scoring. I found it hard but easy at the same time. At the end we had a game of almost basketball.

Friday 8th November
In the morning at 9.15 we said good morning to the teachers in our school. Next we did our Friday warm up and danced to music on Just Dance 2014. At 9.45 we typed our script for our school play and finally finished it.

Next at 11.00 we did our paired reading. It can be fun reading to the little ones. Next at 11.30 we had maths. My maths group had an impossible page where the people that made it hadn’t done it right. The question said there was two false answers, but after much research into the factors we found that there was actually three false answers.
Next it was lunch. We had fish and chips for lunch. Everyone loves the fish and chips. It was delicious.
After lunch at 1.30 we had written our folder for assembly. At 1.40 we had golden time where we can choose what we want to do for an hour. At 2.40 we had assembly. Finally we went home.
