In Maths we have been weighing objects using kilogram weights in the balance scales and finding out whether things are heavier or lighter. We have also been working on word problems where we have to work out what we have to do by finding key words in the question.

In our writing this week our Ten Minute Challenge was to write about a scene from Stand By Me where the boys are waiting to cross a tall railway bridge. We also wrote about the Greek myth of the spider-woman.

Our Vincent Scarpace fish pictures are coming on as we have continued to add detail.

We have learned a bit more about Fair Trade in preparation for our cluster get-together with P4s from other schools and will be practising our song in the next few weeks.

This morning we saw the highlights from the Primary 7 Burns’ Night and really enjoyed the singing, poetry and dancing. We have also drawn cartoons of Burns’ famous story of Tam O’Shanter and have been learning our poems ready for the Scots Poetry Competition.
