Term 1 Week 3

Hello everyone. This week it is me, Emma-Lee, who will be updating you on what has been happening in P5/6/7.

Big Question. In Big Question we have been learning about different types of Scottish castles. We have been learning about Motte and Bailey castles, Stone keep castles and Concentric castles. Some of us have been also been learning about castles and palaces in Scotland.

Writing.  This week at writing we watched a clip called Embarked and then did some writing on it. We have written imaginative stories, ‘how to’ instructions and balanced arguments too. Also on Wednesday we got 100 percent in writing, so we are going to have a Starbucks day on Friday.

Morning Maths Madness. Morning Maths Maddness is just a maths exercise to get our brains ready for the rest of the day. This week we have been doing counting circles, and solve + do exercises.

Culture Crew.  For Culture Crew this week we have been doing about 3 geographic features of south America.

Sustainable squad.  For Sustainable squad we are doing all about zero hunger/fairtrade. Some people made posters and presentation, and even animations.

Tesco bookshelf. For the month of September, we are running the bookshelf at Tesco to raise funds for the school. If you are in Tesco, please feel free to browse the books.

Term 1 Week 2

Hello its Eilidh Smith here and I have the POWER of this blog this week.

This week we have been learning about castles. We all were split up in to groups and were told to make realistic castles. So, my group made a fairy princess mushroom fantasy castle.

Also we have been learning about Sustainable Development goal 1 – No Poverty.

We have been writing about Spy Fox who is a Fox that tries to defeat Dr Hammer. We have written stories about Spy Fox, created newspaper reports and also made made posters about new gadgets.

In maths, we did a maths really race with Mrs. A, P4/5 and Miss Mann. We were working on our times tables and this time focused on the 2x, 5x and 10x tables. It was fun because we didn’t do a times table that was hard.

Term 1 Week 1

Hello and welcome to our new class blog. Mrs A has given the kids the responsibility of the blog this year and we’ll be in charge of sharing information and photos about what we’ve been doing in class.  This week, Cheryl is going to share what has been happening.

First week back. It has been really exciting to be back and we’ve done a range of things.

On Wednesday, we were inventing trick shots and there were lots of crazy ideas. Some of them even worked!

On Thursday, we created posters about Scottish castles or created our own idea of a Scottish castle poster, model or other.

On Friday, in the morning we started off with STEM, which stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. We had to build a paper ping pong ball run. The winning group was the red group which was Me (Cheryl), Paige, Ava G and Campbell. We started to learn about the Sustainable Development goals too.

I hope you have enjoyed the blog,
