This week we have been rounding off our learning about measurement. We had to create posters which showcased our learning about area, perimeter, units of measurement and tools for measuring. Mrs Weir is very impressed with our work on this!

We all were very sweaty after P.E. this week where we focused on fitness circuits indoors and trying to improve our fitness. In our outdoor slot we were focusing on athletics and in particular running and throwing the javelin which we found quite challenging because of the wind direction. We are looking forward to trying this again next week.

On Thursday we learned about the Scottish artist Charles Rennie Mackintosh and looked at some of his designs. We had to think about the different shapes and styles which he uses and then had to make our own paintings based on this.

This week we also started our transition novel ‘The Boy in the Dress’ by David Walliams. We are enjoying it so far and have had lots of discussions in class about stereotypes and have been discussing the different themes of the novel so far. We have looked at Bloom’s pyramid and questioning during comprehension activities related to the novel. As part of transition we have also been writing personal statements about ourselves as part of our work on Didbook. We found it really tricky to write about ourselves. We can access and update Didbook at home as we all have our own usernames and passwords.

We have also had rehearsals of our song for the Celebrating Success assembly on Tuesday 16th and are looking forward to finding out the certificate winners. The children are invited to wear summer clothes for this performance.

This week Mrs Weir has had to have some discussions with the class about behaviour and in particular about playground behaviour. It has been re-iterated that fun treats such as Blair Drummond will not happen if we don’t follow the Rights and Right actions of the school. Some of us are looking forward to a fresh start next week.

Have a lovely weekend 🙂
