What a great week!

We have really stretched our brains in maths this week. We have been going over all the strategies we have learned when using the four operations. We are able to identify what skills we need to transfer to certain maths contexts. We are working hard to use this knowledge to set the success criteria for certain maths learning outcomes. We have also been learning how to calculate the perimeter of a shape.

Ty – if it is a rectangle you can times by two

Sam – there is a length and a breadth in each perimeter

Lennox – if the shape has lots of sides then you can add two sides at a time then add them all together at the end

Our writing has been exhausting this week as well! We asked if we could have sheets of paper that we could write an imaginative story on. Mrs Drummond says she has learned a lot from us doing this. Some of the pupils who don’t enjoy writing are now asking if they can continue their writing at golden time. We have used this piece of writing to develop our self-evaluation skills and we all have a post it note that we have used to bullet point things in our writing that we could improve as our stories continue.

Brooklyn- the post it note really helped me. I enjoyed doing that.

Rowan- we had to pick part of our writing to re-write using the post it note to make changes and I am describing things better now.

New Lanark

On Tuesday we went to New Lanark with P5b. We had an amazing time.

Cole – it was really cool because the man told us that they had the longest river.

Lucie T- I liked the Annie McLeod ride because I learned more about her.

Here are some pictures from our day at New Lanark-

Have a great weekend!!
