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

This week we worked hard practising all of our maths and numeracy skills in a Sumdog Competition against classes in schools across West Lothian. We were able to score individually and as a whole class.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Jaxson – At one point I was in 2nd place!<\/p>\n

On the first day of the competition we were in first place and received a certificate in recognition of all our hard work. It is a PDF document and if you click here :\u00a0sumdog certificate<\/a> hopefully you can see it.<\/p>\n

Eventually when the competition finished we came fourth and Mrs Stewart gave the class ten minutes extra play as a reward. (Extra coffee for Miss Stanway!)Some of us had even been on Sumdog at home in order to help the whole class.<\/p>\n

We alo worked on the concept of chance and probability which is the likelihood of something happening. These are some of the words we used:<\/p>\n

Alexis : impossible\u00a0 Cameron : even chance<\/p>\n

We came up with fun examples:<\/p>\n

Hope – It is impossible that I can fly (without equipment).<\/p>\n

Lily E – In a set of 10 cards with the numbers 1-10 it is impossible that a 12 will be picked.<\/p>\n

Jaxson – It is an even chance when flipping a coin that it will land on heads.<\/p>\n

We also used more mathematical examples using numbers such as 1 in 6 and 1 in 8.<\/p>\n

Loop Games<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

In our loop game this week we had to add decimals. You have to go around the room and find clues and work with your partner to complete the puzzle!<\/p>\n

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

\"\"<\/p>\n

There are raffle tickets to be won for first,second and third place but we get help too if we need it!<\/p>\n

Some of us won prizes for our work on addition this term.<\/p>\n

Emily – I was surprised how well I did!<\/p>\n

Alexis – I was proud of my addition score!<\/p>\n

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

Writing – We produced some great persuasive pieces about why we should save the planet.<\/p>\n

We had our last online lesson with Mrs Cochrane and practised our summarising skills.<\/p>\n

In group reading we consolidated our prediction skills.<\/p>\n

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

We finished our WW2 timeline. Here is Callum and Emily organising their group’s dates.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This is just a part of the completed timeline!<\/p>\n

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

Cameron – I enjoyed doing the WW2 timeline.<\/p>\n

Outdoor Learning<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

We practised our teamwork skills and built dens!\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Robbie had injured his thumb so he took the photos!<\/p>\n

P.E. – Rugby<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Piotr – I enjoyed playing rugby and improved my passing and catching skills.<\/p>\n
