This week we learnt a new strategy to combine remainders and the bus stop strategy. This helps us work out division with remainders left over.  This is really helpful for us to work out our calculations.

In writing, we wrote our own magic box poems, using Kit Wright’s poem as a framework.

We were able to let our imaginations run wild! We are making a book of them to show our P5 teacher. Mrs Collings was very impressed with how we could make things interesting and exciting. In our poetry we also focused on creating modern similes. Mrs Collings’ favourite was busy as a teacher!

On Tuesday we went to Bathgate xcite for a fabulous day of sports run by Sky. We had a great time playing against other local schools and experiencing loads of new sports. We hope you saw our tweets about the day on the Balbardie Twitter feed. It was a fabulous day!

In French we are learning the numbers to 50, using our favourite French singer – Alain de Lait – and his reggae worms. Check them out here…..
