We can’t believe how fast our days are flying in. One minute it’s big start and the next it’s home time, that’s how it feels anyway!

Literacy

This week we have been learning to write a letter. We pretended to be the young Mary Queen of Scots, who had been sent to live in France, writing a letter home to her mother. We used a writing planner to help structure our work. Here is an example of the opening paragraph of  one of our letters-

Maths

We have been continuing to practice our recall of the times tables and feel we are getting better. On Monday we were consolidating what we have learned about rounding numbers. We have also been learning how to tell the time in 5 minute increments.

Mia – I am finding it easier to tell the time

Connor – I am enjoying rounding numbers

Suvi – I feel more confident with telling time

Campbell – I am enjoying rounding number to 100

LATC

We have been learning about the time when Mary Queen of Scots was sent to France to live so that she would be safe from King Henry.

Jason – the four Marys’ went with her but got sent to live with nuns

Denholm – in France she liked horse riding and she learned to play the harp

Euan – she played with her cousin Elizabeth and the king’s son Francis

Amy – she learned to play the Lute

Music

We had a great time learning rhythms…

Have a great weekend!
