We have had a great time this week researching facts about Scottish wildlife.  We learnt to categorise them into herbivores, carnivores and omnivores.

We used graphs to represent our surveys on  favorite pets.  We estimated and measure the height of trees outside and we made function machines.

We also enjoyed making poems about gratitude.  We used our senses to express how we feel.  For reading, we have been working on our reading aloud strategies and asking evaluative questions.

Have a lovely weekend everyone!

This week we had a fantastic time learning many skills such as;

Numeracy- reading timetables and revising on our division and multiplication strategies.

We used our laptops to research facts about kelpies.  We took notes then we used these facts to write a description of kelpies.

We leant to copy, paste and use enter tab on the keyboard.  This helped us make a PowerPoint presentation.

For IDL, we used clay to make sculptures and leant how to mould, make it stable and add texture to it.

Happy weekend everyone!

We’ve had an amazing week!

We have been learning to read time and time intervals.  We have started learning division with remainders as well.

For reading, we worked on finding the main idea and summarising the text.  We also worked on highlight important information and note taking.

For HWB, we explored different friendship groups and the importance of  being able to express yourself.

In IDL, we learnt about different types of produce in Scotland and where most of them are made/ farmed.

We’ve had an amazing week!

For Numeracy, we have been learning to read and tell the time.  For Maths, we have been learning to find factors and multiples of a number.

For PE, we practiced our aim and attacking skills during Dodgeball.  We also started performing Ceilidh dance.

We have been exploring ways to keep safe online and we have been leaning about gender equality.  We wrote a story about the Loch Ness and monster and read the myth of Ghillie Dhu.  We researched facts about Scottish clans and then we made our own personal crests.

Our stationery station enterprise is a hit!  Thank you all for your support.  Have fantastic long weekend!

What a great week we had!

We have been revising on all our past numeracy and maths work.  It has been great to see that we remember most of the concepts we have learnt.

We have been learning to highlight key words and information while we read a text.  This helped us skim and scan for information much quicker as we try to answer questions about the text.  We wrote another story about Draco (the dragon) this time we have put in speech within our story.

We have also been learning to multiply 3 digit numbers by 1 digit.

 

What a fantastic week we’ve had!

We learnt to use apostrophes to shorten two into one, we got a visit from Draco the Dragon who asked us to write  a story about him and we asked questions about our novels.

For IDL, we used google maps  to locate our school and where we are in relation to the map of Scotland.  We also used ICT to find information about John Logie Baird.

For Numeracy, we revised on all the multiplication strategies we have learnt and played games based on this topic.  We learnt to do doubles and trebles as well.  We create patterns using everyday objects as well.

We hope you have a nice weekend everyone!
