This week was have been working hard in lots of areas of the curriculum.

In literacy we have been learning about metaphors as these will help us with our writing.  ‘Life is a rollercoaster’ is one of our favourite metaphors.  It turns out we know lots of metaphors but just didn’t realise. We have also been learning how to spell irregular words.  Our spelling has improved because we practise and the words are much harder now.

In numeracy we have been learning lots about measure.  We have learnt how to calculate perimeter  which will be useful in later life if we ever need to measure the garden for a fence.  We also been pracitising the mutiplication facts as always.

We went to the Ash Wednesday service and were given ashes.  We spoke about Lent and are going to try to give up something, pray more and give to charities.  We have a SCIAF box on our altar which we are hoping to fill. Each £1 that is raised will be doubled by the government.

Our entries for the engineering competition were completed this week and sent away.  Fingers crossed for us !We finished our gymnastics routines in P.E and we have enjoyed  gymnastics because it has been great for our bones.

We have also been learning about  a group of artist s known as the ‘Glasgow Boys’.  The Glasgow Boys’ were a group of around 20 artists who liked to paint outdoors and paint real people.  Their artworks were very popular.  In the next few weeks we will recreate one of their works.
