Green Gym<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Once again we were outside. This time we were designing habitats for various creatures to keep warm in the winter months. Using natural materials we had to create a place for the creature to stay. Then we tested if it would be warm enough. We did this by placing some hot water which was in a container in the den. Then using a thermometer we measured the temperature change of the water.<\/p>\n

Kyle – Our creature was a hedgehog. It was supposed to be kept at 26 degrees celcius and it went down to 23. We think it would have died.<\/p>\n

Emily-Our animal was too cold. It was fun.We worked together.<\/p>\n

Bella – It was fun.<\/p>\n

Numeracy<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

We continued to practise our addition skills. We learnt how to solve addition problems using our mental maths strategies. This week we added numbers larger than 1000.<\/p>\n

We also practised using formal column addition for larger numbers and decimals and discussed when we would use this strategy.<\/p>\n

Literacy<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

On Monday we had a remote learning lesson with Mrs Cochrane and we were able to practise our clarifying skills which help us to understand a text we are reading.<\/p>\n

We practised our handwriting skills and some of us showed our beautiful work to Mrs Wallace(Oscar,Hope and Lily-Elen).<\/p>\n

We practised learning our spellings by counting the number of syllables in each word.<\/p>\n

In writing we persuaded people that school uniform should not be worn!<\/p>\n

Topic Work – WW2<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

We continued to have to dive under our desks whenever our air raid siren went off!<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We researched the different types of shelters used during the war using a non-fiction text and the laptops.<\/p>\n

Hope – It is really scary! In the old days people didn’t have a mobile to make sure their friends were O.K.<\/p>\n

We also had a WW2 workshop which was really interesting.<\/p>\n

BOOK WEEK<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

It was also Scottish Book Week. We discussed our favourite books.\"\"<\/p>\n

Bailey – My favourite book is ‘Grandpas Great Escape’ because it has a lot of adventure and action in it.<\/p>\n

We also chose book characters and made props and hats for them.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Kyle – We made Willy Wonka’s stuff. I made a hat. Hope made the walking stick and Callum made the golden ticket.<\/p>\n

Emily-Me and Lily made wands – like Harry Potter.<\/p>\n

Kaiden – I made a suitcase that Paddington Bear carries.<\/p>\n

PE – Football<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Debbie – I have improved my tackling. I used to stay away from the ball and now I go and get the ball.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Lily-Elen – I am less scared of the ball. I faced my fear and am proud of my football skills.<\/p>\n
