Literacy
Book Week
This week it was Book Week Scotland so we had a ‘blether’ about what are favourite books were.
Lily-Elen – I like Jaqueline Wilson.
Writing
We wrote some terrific stories this week using the main character in our reading book. Colin and his partner wrote a great opener that we agreed would make us want to read on.
Reading
This week we practised our visualisation skills and drew scenes from stories in our reading books.
Numeracy
This week we practised adding multiples of 10 and discussed different strategies.
Maths
This week we walked around the school on a shape hunt and discussed why certain shapes such as cuboids were used to make things.
Art
As part of our work on shape we used clay to sculpt imaginary creatures using tools to create various effects. 
Alexis – I made a Unibug. 
Sophie P – I made a dog that had a turtle shell and a unicorn.
Health
During P.E. we have been practising running without stopping for four minutes. We are much fitter now!
We have also discussed what makes us happy. Most of us said it was our family and surprisingly when given a list of different things most of us said tablets/IPads are the least important when it comes to happiness. We learnt about how some children living in different circumstances would be happier if they were able to go to school more and have larger houses with running water.
