This week we made products for the Christmas fayre. The boys made santa and snowmen beaded keyrings and the girls made Christmas themed charm bracelets. Everyone also designed advent calendars to sell at our stall.

At Buddy time, we helped our buddies design posters to advertise the Christmas Fayre. It was important to include information such as the date, location and eye catching pictures. Reminder- School Christmas Fayre will take place next Saturday the 28th of November.

This week, as part of our context for learning, we started a class novel called The Boy in Striped Pyjamas. We read chapter one together then worked with a partner to write a summary of what we read and find the meaning of tricky words. We also discussed the character in the story so far. We are looking forward to reading chapter two next week.

Last week in P.E we earned our five fireballs for achieving our targets. This week we got a free game of choice. We chose dodgeball and enjoyed this game.

On Thursday Mr Welsh came into our class to explain didbook. This is an online educational profile which is used at Bathgate Academy. This is a good way to let the teacher’s know information about us in advance. In class we updated our personal profiles. Over the next few months we will also add to the enrichment diary and skills section. We are very excited about this and have been logging on at home!

This week we learned about rotational symmetry. This is how many times a shape can fit into itself. For example, a square has the order of rotational symmetry of 4. We completed a table to show this information for a range of 2D shapes.

Have a nice weekend. We hope you can come along to our Christmas Fayre tomorrow.
