What a big week !

Topic – we have begun learning about Florence Nightingale. We were really surprised at how bad the conditions were for soldiers during the Crimean war. Wounded soldiers would have to sleep on dirty floors with rats running around. Thanks to Florence we have much better conditions in hospitals today.

Writing – this week we focussed on poetry. The theme for our poem was PC Arnott. We had a competition and the class voted for their favourite poem which was read out at assembly and then presented to PC Arnott. Eve’s poem received the most votes. Well done Eve!!

Rachel Q – I really liked writing a poem. I think Eve’s was really good.

Ava C – It was hard to make the poem rhyme. I found it easier to write the poem using rhythm, I did this by tapping on the table while I was saying the poem.

Maths – We have been learning how to subtract with money and some of us have been changing pence to pounds and vice versa. It has been tricky but we are getting better!

On Monday afternoon we were lucky enough to be able to go along to Bathgate Academy to watch the P6 show, The Wizard of Oz. We walked all the way there and all the way back! We were very impressed with the acting and singing and can’t wait until we are in P6 and it’s our turn to do the show.

As if we didn’t get enough exercise on Monday we did our sports mile on Thursday and we have been raising money for Sports Relief with a bake sale on Friday morning and lots of us have bought Sports Relief wrist bands.

Have a great weekend!
