In response to a query from a parent this week about how to check a child’s progress on Education City, here is some information which should help you find that information:

Parents can see any activities that their children have completed by checking the student’s dashboard within the “My Scores” area.

They can then filter via three folders:

1. Pick and play – This will show any scores that students have achieved from independently finding content.
2. Classwork – This will show scores via classwork allocated in Mycities
3. Homework – This will show scores via Homework Mycities

In primary 5 we have being learning about area and we thought it was fun. We were also doing our space topic and we learned about how far planets are from each other.

In PE we played crabs and cranes and we did a daily mile and a monsters game.

We had master classes. The theme was Roald Dahl books. The choices were Charlie and the Choclate factory,  James and the Giant Peach, The Twits, The Witches, Going Solo and Georges Marvellous Medicine.

In literacy we pretended we were someone else writing a biography about ourself.

We also did reading and we had to find wow words in the book and write a new sentence about it. We had different reading books for each group.

We had lots of fun at the Book Festival this morning. We travelled by coach into Charlotte Square and were ready in the theatre in plenty time for ‘Lift Off!’ Tracey Corderoy, the author, told us stories about their characters Shifty McGifty and Slippery Sam – who used to be robbers, but then became cafe owners. We looked our for aliens and played games. We were in ‘Shifty McGifty’s’ team and we won the space game – hooray! Steven Lenton is an illustrator and he showed us how to draw ‘Slippery Sam’ – the results were amazing. After the show we had time to soak up the atmosphere of the Festival. We ate our snacks and then looked about. We met some very friendly alpacas. Mrs Turnbull even had a selfie taken with one of them!
