Another busy week both in the classroom and at home. Linking to our Scottish Tourism context both classes have been using their research skills to learn about Scotland. They have been looking at its culture, landmarks and Geography. Using their knowledge of different genres they created a poster demonstrating how Loch Lomond was formed. We were impressed with the variety of media used to display their findings.
In Literacy we have made curricular links with our RME context of Carnival. We looked at using Higher Order Thinking skills to create 6 different question types from a piece of text on Festivals from around the world. We also looked at how to create an effective summary, identifying what the key ideas of a text are. Using these skills, the classes then went on to complete a reading comprehension effectively extracting the main points of the text.
In Maths we continued with our concept of area looking at both the area of compound shapes and of right angled triangles. Well done to all of those of you who went on to attempt the challenge activities; very impressive!
Keep up the hard work everybody, you are doing a great job!
