We explored the park. We found the ampitheatre and the river and had a chance to climb a few trees and pop our head in the cave! We even had a chance to play in the swing park.

P6 have been looking at mental and written strategies for addition and subtraction.

P7 have been looking at place value to 1000000.

We’re also taking part in the Sumdog Scottish competition.

We have been looking at similes and coming up with our own interesting ones to use in poems.

In groups, we have been looking at cities in Japan and will be telling our classmates about them.

PE

We were learning to match, mirror and canon with a partner during gymnastics.

Glad to see we’re making the most of our indoor playtimes.

On Thursday and Friday we started the day with a game of dominoes. Working together and playing games.

• Spelling ‘cious’ words. Learn the spelling and meaning of all of the words. You can use spelling city to help.
• Mental Maths – Use the sheet given to revise mental strategies highlighted.

Today we read some stories to the P2/3 class. I was really impressed with how well you worked together and also with how well you interacted with the wee ones. They all had a great time and enjoyed your visit! Please comment below with your thoughts/views/favourite parts of the session.

On Wednesday we will read to the infant department. Please bring in stories as discussed.

In Maths, P6 will be learning more about place value of numbers to 1 million and P7 will complete rounding work and a little revision of previous topics before moving into Tee Jay work.

In language, we will continue to read The Iron Man whilst looking at author techniques, reading strategies and thinking skills. We will also be writing instructions on how to build a paper helicopter.

We will begin our topic of Japan. Have a think about anything you would like to learn.
