Multiplication circles<\/p>\n

We all had a think about our learning in numeracy and felt that we needed to work on our times tables a bit more as knowing these will help us in many other areas of Numeracy and Maths.\u00a0 We made a times tables booklet which includes all our times tables from 2-12.\u00a0 We worked on a challenge, called multiplication circles, to find patterns in our times tables.\u00a0 We connected numbers from each of the times table, creating a shape\/pattern in the circle such as pentagons and stars.\u00a0 We also could see that some of the times tables created the same shape\/pattern so this helped us to understand relationships between different times tables.\u00a0 Primary 5 learnt this 1st<\/sup> and then taught the primary 4\u2019s how to do this task.\u00a0 We were fascinated at the results.<\/p>\n

Planting<\/p>\n

We have been learning about how seeds become plants and wanted to have a go at this ourselves.\u00a0 This week we were able to go outside and plant a variety of seeds with Bluebell and Thistle.\u00a0 We all planted our seeds in a pot and have placed them in our school garden.\u00a0 We hope that over the Easter holidays these will grow.\u00a0 Our nursery children are going to help to water them while we are not in school.\u00a0 We enjoyed learning about planting and how a seed grows and have lots of questions about which we will explore in the new term.<\/p>\n

Engineering<\/p>\n

We have been learning about the engineering process through IDL lessons.\u00a0 We discussed different inventions and how they have affected our lives.\u00a0 We also looked at the history of different Scottish inventions and what problems these solved.\u00a0 This then led us on to thinking about what we might invent ourselves.\u00a0 We thought about a problem locally, internationally or globally and came up with a solution to solve the problem by creating our own invention.\u00a0 We drew a labelled diagram of our invention and wrote a persuasive letter to an engineer, asking them to invent it, giving reasons why this should be invented.\u00a0 We loved being creative and designing our own inventions.\u00a0 Look in our class notebooks in TEAMS to find out what we designed.<\/p>\n

Reading – Note-taking<\/p>\n

We have been learning to take notes on a text.\u00a0 We have been recording key words and phrases from different texts into different note-taking formats \u2013 some of us like to use mind maps and some like to put our notes into sections.\u00a0 Some of us also like to add pictures to our notes.\u00a0 This helps us to remember all the information.<\/p>\n

Through note-taking we have been taking notes on different processes such as how an earthquake happens, how sound travels and how a seed becomes a plant.\u00a0 We have found these topics very interesting and have built our vocabulary and knowledge through our note-taking lessons.<\/p>\n

We have also used these notes to help plan and write explanation texts in writing.\u00a0 We have really enjoyed learning about the different processes and writing about them.<\/p>\n

School trip<\/p>\n

There was a buzz of excitement around the P4\/5 corridor as we went on our 1st Calderwood School trip to the Glasgow Science Centre.\u00a0 We watched a movie about a space station in the I-Max cinema.\u00a0 We loved wearing our 3D glasses and were trying to touch all the images.\u00a0 It was fascinating!\u00a0 We also loved all the hands-on activities to touch and explore, especially the wonky house!\u00a0\u00a0 A ggreat time was had by all.<\/p>\n

We have had yet another busy and exciting term!\u00a0 Well done Bramble Clan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
