This week in Thistle we have been really enjoying our exploration of fables, myths and legends. We have been rotating between Bramble, Bluebell and Thistle and learning about Norse gods, origins of Scottish mythical creatures and Greek legends and their themes. We have been creating dioramas, plasticine models and booklets to share our learning. We have also been working on team projects across P5 in Bramble and Thistle. We have been using technology and books to investigate myths from around the world and then have been using our creativity to think of different ways to share these stories. Groups have been creating songs, pantomimes, dances, posters, quizzes and stop motion videos.<\/p>\n

In literacy we have been exploring narrative writing. We have been focused on the plot, setting, characterisation and the key grammar of speech marks. We have been looking at how stories have changed over time and we have investigated the origins of Beauty and the Beast. We will begin to retell the story and make our own alterations to the story so that it becomes a unique retelling.<\/p>\n

In maths we have been using a variety of materials to help us explore angles. We have learned that a right angle is 90 degrees and found out that bigger angles are obtuse and smaller are acute. We really enjoyed the right angle challenge where we had to use maths resources to make a shape with the most right angles in it.<\/p>\n

In PE we have began to develop our skills in badminton, learning forehand, backhand and serving shots. We have been working in pairs to see how long we can rally for and next week we will be introducing a low hung net to begin to learn all the rules of a formal game.<\/p>\n
