Second Day of Camp
First day of Lendrich Muir
P5/6 Learning Update
In preparation for the show we have been working with P6/7 to rehearse all of the songs for the show. We have been practising followjng stage directions to carry out acting parts, learning dances and creating the show programme.
In maths and numeracy the P6s have been learning how to write decimal times and calculating durations of time.
In p5 some groups have been learning how to calculate percentages and also how to calculate the volume of shapes. We are using our multiplication and division knowledge when doing this.
In IDL we were learning about the key events in the Battle of Bannockburn. This prepares us for our class trip to the battlefield on 11th March.
In writing this week the P5s were developing their descriptive writing through creating a character of a tiny dragon.
Remember next week is World Book Day, you can come to school dressed as a character from a book.
We hope everyone who goes to Lendrickmuir has a great time and that the weather is kind to you!
