Health
In Health we have been discussing the different impacts that jobs have on society and what the salaries of different jobs are. We were surprised how much a pilot earns compared to a mechanic even though people seem to use mechanics more regularly.
STEM
We watched a live online broadcast as part of the Scottish Leadership Engineering awards competition that we are entering. We listened to a presentation by Graeme Ralph, Principal R&D Engineer at Spirit AeroSystems. Afterwards we posted questions which he answered.
P.E. – Hockey
Miss Stanway was blown away by our dribbling skills!
Literacy
One of our class targets is to improve our punctuation and so we have been learning about the use of apostrophes which are necessary when using contractions.
Writing
We finished our Dinosaur stories that we had written COLLABORATIVELY in pairs and then learnt how to peer assess them using a West Lothian writing target grid.
Numeracy
The table fact we are presently focussing on is x4.
We are much more confident at using the grid method to multiply 2 digit numbers by two or one digit numbers.
In addition this week we learnt about factors and prime numbers.
Topic
Our new topic is Mary Queen of Scots. Using her family tree we learnt about who her relatives were.
Using role-play we learnt about key moments in her life.
Eva – Being executed was a sad way to die.
Emma – Marrying Darnley was a mistake because he was mean.
Chloe – She should not have married The Earl of Bothwell as people thought he was a murderer.
Keris – Bella was great at being Queen Mary.
Lacey (The Earl of Bothwell) – I expressed my meanness through my face and body.
Art
We practised using a variety of tools to create different types of lines.
