What a great week!

We have all really settled well into P4a and we are ready for a great first term. We have been discussing how a positive mindset influences how we learn and will make this the focus of our assembly next month.

Literacy

We have been learning about the life of Mary Queen of Scots and have used this as a focus for our writing this week. We used a writing planner to record the facts that we needed. We then used the planner to help structure a newspaper birth announcement.

Maths

We have been learning how to use loop cards to help with our recall of the times tables. We will record how long it takes us to complete the loop each time and gradually get quicker. We have been consolidating what we have already learned about telling the time and are ready now to begin learning about ‘past’ and ‘to’ and understand 5 minute intervals.

HWB

We are very lucky to Mrs McKenzie to teach us in Health and Wellbeing. This week we were discussing what strengths we have and here are some of our comments ..

Jason – my strength is acting

Mia – thoughtful

Robert – good at art

Ranna – singing and dancing

Lauren – singing and gymnastics

Euan – helpful

LATC

We had great fun creating a time line of the events that lead to Mary Stuart becoming Queen of scots up to the time she was executed….

Have a great weekend everyone!
