In p1b we have been learning about recycling. We should remember the 3Rs- Reduce- Reuse and Recycle. We made posters for the wall.

In p5 we have been learning about length in maths. 1 cm also means 10mm and 2cm also means 20mm. Miss Hewlett gave us different sizes of rulers and we had to measure different lengths on a worksheet. I want to learn more. I understood it quite fast and I really enjoyed it!

Both P3 classes went to Edinburgh Castle as part of their Scottish Castles topic. We enjoyed spotting all of the special features of castles that we had been learning about. Thankfully, the portcullis stayed up until after we had left! We were also glad that Mr Clark and Mrs Turnbull didn’t leave us behind in the dungeons! Here are some photos of the great time we had.

In p2 we have been learning about the Victorians. Our classroom looks like it has gone back in time to Victorian times. We made house maids and butlers and some rich Victorians. We also enjoyed watching the film Oliver. Just after the Easter holidays we are going to visit Hopetoun House to find out more.

In P6 we were making some Jacobite portraits of King James the 7^th. These portraits were quite hard to make as there was lots of detail involved. First we drawed them [step by step] and after that we painted them. My favourite part was when we were drawing them.

In P6 we’ve just started making targes which are shields used by the Jacobites. We are using modroc which is very messy but they’ll look great when they are finished!

Yesterday in P3a we were set a knights protection challenge.

We had to make work in pairs to make an item that a knight would use to protect them self. Some groups made a bow and arrows, a spear, a helmet, a sword or an axe. It was great fun and we enjoyed being creative.

In p5 we have been learning about fractions like 5/10 which means five tenths or a half. We can’t wait to learn more about it. Fractions and dividing are the same thing.

P3a drew and used metallic crayons to create knights in armour to add to the Great Hall wall in our classroom. We looked at lots of pictures of knights in armour to help us.
