We welcomed Mrs McVay to our class on Monday!
In art we drew Hogwarts at night time. We are using chalks and pencils. We also designed and completed our house shields for our display.
In PE we learned about three techniques in gymnastics – balance, flight and rotation. We really enjoyed this.
In Drama we finished reading the script for our primary six musical and we will be auditioning on Wednesday 18th November.
In maths we are continuing to learn about equivalent fractions and simplifying fractions.
We looked at our previous spelling, and looked for our tricky words, and we were recapping what we already knew about punctuation.
In writing Mrs Davidson taught us more about story planning, using timelines. We enjoyed this and Sarah found this to be the easiest plan she had ever done.
Yesterday we learned about the story of Hannukah. This Jewish Festival is celebrated each year, and this year it begins on the 7th of December. It celebrates when the Maccabees’ defeated the Syrian army, and when they went into the Temple they found only a small jug of oil which would last only one night. However, a miracle happened it actually lasted eight days and nights. The Maccabees’ believed that this showed that God was with them.
Today we had our Big Balbardie Blether, and we were talking about Golden Time and the Golden Club. Our questionnaires are being returned to the Pupil Voice Group and they will let us know the outcome of this morning’s discussions.
We have made poppies for next week’s Remembrance Assembly. Each one will be part of a poppy wreath.
Sarah and Annie
Hope you had fun discussing your thoughts, we will get back to you ASAP.
