We received a letter to kick start our Scotland topic which asked us to help with some research of Scottish myths and legends. Children participated in research tasks and found out three main mythical creatures connected to Scotland. These are Kelpies, selkies and Nessie.<\/p>\n
We have been using our atlas\u00a0skills to work out the countries and capitals of the United Kingdom. We also were learning more about North, South, East and West, as well as the points in between.<\/p>\n
In science, we conducted experiments, learning about static electricity. We had some very interesting hairstyles afterwards as we had to think of ways to ‘charge’ our balloons.<\/p>\n
I hope children have been practising their poems over the last week ready for our class competition next Thursday. There will also be opportunities in class to recite poems with the teacher and classmates before then. Class winners will then recite their poem to the\u00a0school on Friday of next week. Winners from this competition will attend the main Burns poetry recital.<\/p>\n
Thank you this week to everyone for having their PE kit in on the days we had PE with only the exception of one or two both days. It made a huge difference.\u00a0Hopefully the weather will pick up for next Tuesday and we will be able to get out for some rugby. It was not in our favour this week.<\/p>\n
Reminders:<\/span><\/p>\n Sign homework diaries<\/p>\n Tuesday – \u00a0Outdoor PE kit needed. Please bring warm clothes<\/p>\n Wednesday – Indoor PE kit needed.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Homework:<\/span><\/p>\n Due:<\/p>\n Thursday 21st – Burns poem recital in class. Please have these learned. Children know the expectations for this as they differ between\u00a0poems.<\/p>\n Friday 22nd – Reading Red – p.27-46<\/p>\n Blue – p.23 – 36<\/p>\n Green – p.20-28<\/p>\n Spelling – look cover write check each night. One night sentences in Berol script handwriting. Please note, this is to build confidence, and is as practice. I am by no means expecting perfection with linked script at this stage.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Thank you,<\/p>\n Miss Smith<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We received a letter to kick start our Scotland topic which asked us to help with some research of Scottish myths and legends.
