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.
Next we wrote the redrafts of our Billionaire Boy stories (we have finished the book)and some of us finished the redrafts. My character is called Mark Ingsarrong (if you say that fast you get markings are wrong).
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.
At 3.15 we went home.

Monday morning we started of with weekend news. Emma and Erin went to the ram sale. Then it was spelling but it wasn’t what we would normally do it was spelling bee. Spelling bee is when everyone in the class, sits in a line at the front of the classroom, and one by one we would have to spell recent words from the start of term. Stephanie and Jason won the spelling bee prize. Then it was time for break.

After break it was Maths The three cha cha lamas was practicing multiplication. Then we had to finish our roman villas. The groups were Emma and Hermione, Stephanie and Noah and Nicol, Nicola and Loui-bo and Jason, Lewis and Flora and Erin. Next we had to wash our hands for lunch it was mince and tatties.

Loui-bo, Nicola and Flora had to make a goodbye card for Mrs Macdonald.

Then we had art, we were making Roman calenders it was a bit easy but it was quite hard at the same time. P.E was next and we were playing a tennis game called around the world. Then at the end we got five minutes to do whatever we wanted and that was so fun. Then it was home time.

First thing in the morning we said “Hello” to the teachers like we always do. Then we went into class and wrote our billionaire stories, as we are reading a class novel called billionaire boy. We then did our spelling tests.
Then we had our break. After break we did our paired reading, I was with Aiden we read ‘Giddy the Goat’ it is a good book. Once reading was over we did our roman villas. 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.

After lunch it was the furry folder, this is what you tell everyone at assembly what we have been doing in class. We then got to choose something fun to do which we picked to play a school game. This was with Loui Bo, Flora, Sophie, Kyle, Daisy and Fraser. After that it was assembly, you get awards at assembly. I got a head teachers award for taking my time with my written work. Then it was home time after a busy week at school.

At school today we were reading the class novel, we were trying to finish it. The book was called Billionaire Boy and we finished it.
After reading the book we did handwriting using the letter f. We had to do words that had f in up on the white board.
Then we were writing Billionaire Boy stories. We had to write our own chapter of the book with our own character. My character was called Hilly Billy. We were doing that for 1 hour.
Then we had playtime for 15 minutes I was playing with the k nex because it was raining.
After playtime we did maths. My group was called The Three Cha Cha Lamas. We were learning about multiplying by ten and one hundred.
French was next and we were learning the family in French. We were drawing pictures of our family and labelling it with the French words.
After French it was lunch time it was still raining so I kept making my k nex.
In the afternoon we learnt about Roman villas on a power point that our teacher made. Then we had to make a Roman villa in our group of three out of cardboard boxes and egg boxes but we have not finished it yet . This was a lot of fun.

In the morning we started off with spelling games. The spelling games were knots and crosses and spelling tennis.
Next was maths we are doing rounding numbers.
Then it was break time, we were on the grass pitch we had lots of fun.
After break we did grammar and I and Erin were doing speech marks.

After our animations we went on the laptops and we looked at different schools blogs from around the world. Some of the Blogs were funny and some were weird and had interesting information.
To end the day we read the class novel.
By Emma

In the morning we did hand writing. We were looking at the letter was e. we peer assessed our handwriting with traffic lights. I got a green mark some of the others also got a green, nobody got red.

Then we did our own chapters out of the “Billionare Boy” story. Mine was about when Joe meeting Tom Hanson who is a farmer’s son. Tom only wants a friend because he is new to school, so Joe decides to take him and show him around.

After break we did Maths. The 2 Squidgy Triangles played the games full house and make a chain, looking at rounding numbers.
Multiplying Monkeys played the games make a path, divide a number ,find my number and nearest number, which was looking at multiplying and dividing by 100 and 1000.

The 3 Cha Cha Lammas played journey across, make a number and guess my number which was looking at multiplying by 10 and 100.

After math’s we finished project about the roman we did our god fact files which is about the gods in Rome I did Neptune because he is awesome. We also did our day in the life of a roman soldier because we had a day when we pretended we were roman soldiers it was so fun. Stephanie, Noah, Nicol and Erin made a life sized roman soldier because they were finished all there project work.

Our final activity of the day was Music with Mr Bennet. We sang hello world and abuitito.

P4-7

First thing this morning we did weekend news Loui-Bo was off so Noah and Emma had to go to different tables, Noah came to my table. After week end news we did a mix of spelling and maths, Noah is in my maths group, we mixed in with another group, we are doing dividing and multiplication y 10, 100 and 1000. We did the maths on the white board then me and Noah had to make a dividing and multiplication poster. We did spelling, this week we had hard words but I did finish after break.

After spelling the list on the board said “Roman God’s work sheet or day in the life of a Roman” I had finished the worksheet on Roman Gods so I did “a day in the life of a Roman”. It is really hard because I was off school on the day we were learning about the stuff we would be doing so I had to use books to research the information.

After lunch we did art then P.E. In Art we are making a roman calendar which is cool. In P.E. we are doing tennis this term.

P1-3

In the morning p1-3 class did their calendar. Then they shared their weekend news. After weekend news they did their spelling and the primary 2 were doing r words. Before break they had milkwater and fruit.

After break p1-3 did Maths. P2 did number bond games, p1 were doing numbers to 11-15 and p3 did number words. After maths they all had choose time.

In the morning the very first thing we had was our morning break. After that we said morning to some of the teachers as we always do on a Friday. After we said our mornings Loui-bo had brought in just dance 4 so we danced to that for our Friday warm up and danced to 5 songs. I found it good fun.

Next the p4-7 did some writing with our billionaire stories. While doing the billionaire stories we did our spelling tests. After that all of us had our break.
Straight after break we went to the library and did some paired reading. I find it fun to read to the p1-3. The p4-7 had to work with the Roman god sheets after that which I didn’t find it as much fun as the paired reading.

Then this it was lunch. We had fish and chips and hot chocolate sauce for pudding. I really like Louise’s cooking, my favourite is her pizza. After lunch we had our 3rd and final break for the day. In the afternoon we wrote in our folder what we did during the week. Next we had golden time when we can choose what to do for an hour. Finally we had assembly and most of us won awards. Then we all headed off home.

Primary 4 – 7

Today in class we started our day off by doing Roman numeral work sheets. We had to make our own math work sheets but they had to be written in roman numerals. When we had finished it someone else in the class had to do our worksheets. Some of the work sheets where harder than others but it was great fun and a nice change.
After that we had did maths this is what all the groups did:
The two squidgy triangles than and less than –ppm 40
-pupil book page 21
The multiplying monkeys- division–pupil book page 8

The three cha cha cha llamas- multiplication- Flash cards
-pupil book page 21/22
Laughing baboons=BOOM!!!-Squared, cubed and triangular numbers- pupil book page 21 and 22

Then we had break
Followed by that was a space of time in which we had to work on our animations of a roman myth. Here are some of the myths that we are animating –Pandora’s Box –Mercury and Apollo- Daedalus & Icarus
We all really enjoying making animations and we all got a lot of work done on them.

We then had lunch.
After lunch we set off to swimming lessons this week we were learning about breast stroke and worked on our breast stroke leg kick. In the last half hour of swimming we were put in teams and had to collect as many rings as possible and we were only allowed to get one ring at a time we also had do it all in one minute we all agreed this was a really good game and hope we get to play it again next week.

On Thursday we had to come to school in purple because we were wearing purple for clan. When we got to school we went into class and we did handwriting on the letter d. Once we had done a bit of handwriting we had to mark each others work we put green if everything was perfect and were really good joins, orange or yellow if one or two of the joins weren`t quite right or weren`t the same size as the other joins or red if none of them were right and they were all different sizes. Once we had marked each others work we went onto writing our Billionaire Boy chapters.
What we had done over the past few weeks is we were creating our own billionaire boy characters, because we have been reading the book Billionaire Boy by David Walliams as our class novel. Once we had done our billionaire boy characters we had to write a chapter about how the character that we created met Joe. [Joe is a person in the book Billionaire Boy.]
After a bit of writing we had break. For break we went outside to play. When break time had ended we went to line up for going back into class.
When we got into class we went into our maths seats. Mr Hewitt told us what we were doing, so we got started on maths. In maths the Multiplying Monkeys [my maths group] were carrying on with page 8 in our textbooks. Some of the work on the page was really hard. After maths we went on to finishing off our roman work.
We were making mini Fact files about roman gods or goddesses and then on the back of our piece of paper we picked our favourite roman god or goddess and did a big fact file about the person. After that it was time for purple lunch.
We had purple lunch. For purple lunch we had some soup that looked a bit purple with hot dogs and salad, there was also a sort of purple dip for the salad. When we had had our main course we went out for a photo. For the photo we had to stand or sit by a big banner and say purple or we had to say clan. Once the photo had been taken we went back into the canteen to have pudding. For pudding it was jelly and purple creamy stuff, or you could have a purple cake with sugar paper on top. After pudding we went out to play except from the people who were selling things. Once the stalls were set up we got our money ready to buy some things.
There were pencils, magnets, badges, pompom things, wristbands, cakes and a game guess Clancy’s birthday. Once we had bought our things we put them away to get ready for some games.
The nursery came to join in with some of the games. Our first game was how long you could make a paper chain in fifteen minutes. The game was really hard but everyone worked together and did really well. Our next game was a running race. We all got into our groups and we chose a baton my team had a white baton. We got ready, we got set, and we ran. After the race nursery had to go back inside for their snack. The older ones [p4-7 and p1-3] had another race. After that we went back inside to do a quiz. The teachers had a harder quiz than the children. The quiz was really hard but really fun. The quiz was really clever because it all related to something purple. After the quiz we had our final game. The aim of the game was we weren`t allowed to let our balloon touch the floor. We all did really well, hardly any of the teams balloons touched the floor. Once we had finished all the games Mrs Perry gave us all two balloons and two stickers. After we had done that we got ready to go home.
