A few weeks ago we recorded what happened at the beginning, middle and end of the story Percy the Park keeper: After the Storm. This week we reflected on this to write a summary of the story in our own words. We did very well with this!

As part of our community topic, we have made a map of a small area in Bathgate. This week, we remembered our address to look at some of our houses on Google maps!

In addition, P3 came up with a campaign idea to help improve our community. We want to encourage people, if possible, to avoid taking cars the whole way to school. We discussed how walking and cycling is good for us and helps us exercise more and how taking a bus helps keep our planet green! We also think it would be safer for us as there wouldn’t be as man cards outside our school. We linked these to rights such as the right to be healthy and a clean and safe environment.

For writing last week we wrote a list of rules we would make if we were mayor of Bathgate. We used bullet points to write our list and some of us used joining words to explain why we would set these rules. We had super ideas. For example, Evie said she would make no school uniforms so that everyone was comfy and Evan would raise money to people who needed it!

In spelling, we have been practising our words in active ways. This includes: secret message spelling words (write words with a light crayon and then go over with paint to make it stand out), secret code spelling words, the roll and spell game, making a collage of our spelling words and writing them on the Ipads. These activities help us to learn our spelling words in fun ways.
