This week we had a Halloween themed maths challenge and in science we designed electrical circuits with a Halloween theme. We also had fun at the Halloween disco.

If you are planning on going to a firework display, please remember the following:

  • Only adults should light or set up fireworks.
  • Stand well back when watching fireworks.
  • Never go near a firework that has been lit.

If you are given a sparkler…

  • Always wear gloves.
  • Hold it at arm’s length.
  • Don’t touch it when it goes out.
  • Put it end down in a bucket of water.

Have fun and stay safe!

This week with Ms Pender we were doing basketball and first of all everyone got a ball and you had to try and tackle another person without your ball going out of control. After that we did matches of three vs three line ball .                                                                                                                     This week in maths we did multiplying and dividing by 10,100 and 1000.  We also multiplied by multiples of 10 and by two digits.

This week we were working on our World War Two by  posters and we had to make two sides, one showing what life was like then in comparison to present life.

This week we were playing Benchball boys against girls and we have to pass five times before we can shoot. The first score was 0-0 then the second game was 5-0 and the third game was 6-1. Then the last game was 0-0.  Also this week we were learning about factors, multiples and prime numbers. Prime numbers are when you can only divide it by itself or one. We also wrote an evacuee letter from World War two to our parents to let them know how we were feeling and how we got there because we were evacuated from our homes. With Miss Cave we were learning about internet safety. We wrote a letter to Ahmet to tell him about the dangers he was putting himself and others in.

This week it was maths week. It was really fun because we entered the Scottish Sumdog maths competition. We also did a toothpick challenge where we had to build a 2 x 2 and a 4 x 4 square and we weren’t allowed to count them one by one so we had to use a strategy to figure out how many toothpicks we used. Then we did a 13 x 13 square for a challenge as well. We also did a Pascal’s Triangle challenge where we had to figure out a number pattern that’s continued to complete the triangle then we had to use the pattern to create our own triangle.

We used our reflection page to identify that we needed to use more complex connectives to write our own story. We wrote more sentences using complex connectives to help us to use them in our own writing.
