Hi everyone this week we found out how to-

  • Write an Exposition  – We wrote about why we thought John Balliol should not have been king.
  • Multiply using the grid method
  • Measure in km and metres using a metre stick and a trundle wheel – we thought about how we would need measuring  skills if we were builders, architect and engineers.
  • We found out how the SWI started,  we studied pictures of Scottish soldiers shields and thought about how we would make our own shields. We are looking forward to making them next week!

This week we wrote gruesome recipes based on the book ‘How to Cook Children’ by Martin Howard. Mrs Telfer was really impressed with our recipes. Some of the titles include, ‘Ruby Rhubard Crumble,’ ‘Bella Bolognaise with Snot Sauce’ and ‘PENNYcotta.’ In Maths we continued with our Mental Maths strategies. We did a walk about answering the sums of the other people in the class. It was great fun and really got us thinking.  We made 3D pictures of ourselves in art. They look amazing.
