I am aware that positive friendships and relationships can promote health and the health and wellbeing of others. HWB 2-44b

In P6B, we have been exploring cyber bullying. We researched and considered some key questions –

1. What is cyber bullying and how is it defined?

1. What are the effects of cyber bullying?

3. What can be done about cyber bullying and who can help?
4. How do we keep ourselves safe online?

We worked in pairs to record our information and use it to create a leaflet about cyber bullying. We had to think about presentation, organisation and the quality and variety of information that we were sharing. We found this to be a very useful activity and many of us were able to relate and share our own experiences of cyber bullying.

Jack: The best thing to do is not to reply to a cyber bully and to block them from speaking to you.

Luca: Only accept friend requests from people that you know, otherwise ignore them.

Jamie: Never give out your password to anyone. People can pretend to be you.

Kamron: I found it very shocking how many people are affected by cyber bullying.

Casey: Cyber bullying is nasty and not acceptable. You need to do something about it.

Hopefully, we will now know what to do about cyber bullying and how to keep ourselves and others safe online.

Our learning tweets about writing:

Pupil of the week: Ty

Special person: Abbie

In P2a this week with Miss Taylor we have been learning all about Stirling Castle and finding out many different facts about the castle, we found out that Mary Queen of Scots lived there. We created our own Stirling Castle fact file during our Dungeons and Dragons topic.

In maths this week we have been looking at comparing lengths and what we can use to measure length, we used cubes to find out the length of our hands. We also estimated how many cubes it would take to measure our hand. Using different lengths of paper we ordered the paper from shortest to longest.

During writing we wrote about what we needed to do to be a special friend, we found out we needed to be helpful and use kind words to our friends.

P2a have been busy this week making Easter cards for the soldiers working away, they will be very happy when they receive their cards.

Achievements this week:

Kyle received pupil of the week this week.

Elena managed to jump very high at jump station and Rowan has practised to jump higher in PE.  Isla and Jude has been practising triple back flips at home and getting much better at this.

Daniel achieved a red stripe in Tae Kwon Do, while Akasha has learned the Kirlia Pose at home.

Writing

This week we have been writing about what it was like going to settle in a new country with our Viking family. We can all see how well our writing has come on in P4. We are including adjectives, varying sentence openers, using wow words and similies more often!

Maths

In maths this week we have been learning about angle. We made an angle finder which we then used to find right angles around the classroom. Some of us were learning about different types of angles-

Suvi –an acute angle is smaller than a right angle

Sophia- an obtuse angle is bigger than a right angle

Murray- a reflex angle is bigger than a right angle

Ranna- a right angle is 90 degrees

Science

We have been learning about parts of plants and what they need to grow. We planted cress seeds and watched them grow. The seeds that had no light or water didn’t grow.

Have a great weekend!

This week we enjoyed class talks from Charlotte, Rose, Jaime-Lee, Isaac, Jack and Dani.
Ben – I liked Jack’s talk because he had prizes for his quiz.
Emily – I like the end of Isaac’s because he said ‘That’s all folks!’
Jacob – Rose’s talk was good because it had really good animations.
Ela – I liked Jack’s quiz because he asked questions about everything we have learnt, not just longships.
Dani –I liked Charlotte’s picture of the house.
Callum – I liked Dani’s powerpoint because it was cool.
Hope – I liked Dani’s class talk because it was obvious she had done it herself.
Yesterday was World Book Day – we enjoyed a book scavenger hunt, lots of storytime and we had a very peaceful 15 minutes at the end of the day when Balbardie Stopped to Read.
