This week we have been learning about the different jobs that were required in a castle. There could be as many as 150 servants working in a castle. We researched the different duties servants had and also considered the skills that an individual would need to carry out the job properly. We wrote a job advert for some of these jobs. We also made a collage of the different servants of the castle.

We had a visit from Mrs Ferguson, during our writing time and she was very impressed with our hard work!

Today we had a fantastic Scottish Assembly, where our classmates performed poems, songs and played musical instruments. It was super!

In maths we have been learning about arrays and have explored the different ways we can lay out counters in rows and columns. Our work in arrays has helped us to calculate the area of a shape.

‘I have learned that arrays can help us with area.’ James

‘I learned that knights at the age of seven went to a castle and had to train for fourteen years to become a knight.’ Jaime

‘I have learned that the Easter bunny doesn’t give the eggs for nothing.’ Kian

‘The Easter egg shows us how the rock went away from the cave and we roll eggs.’ Emma

‘I have learned about Christianity and Judaism. The Jewish one believes in God and not Jesus.’ Daryl

‘Christianity and Judaism have some differences and similarities. Christians think the founder was Jesus.’ Euan

‘I have learned in Christianity they have a Good Friday. They call it Good Friday because Jesus did a good thing and then he died.’ Conner
