Mrs Hamilton has been coaching our new basketball team at lunchtime. They are taking part in the West Lothian Basketball league.
In Maths we have been learning to use our tables to help solve a variety of different problems. During Maths week we started problem solving using different strategies and we are continuing some problem solving every week. We are currently using fractions in problems. We found the fraction problems a challenge so we are practising simplifying fractions and equivalent fractions.
In Writing we have been learning how to write a diary entry and have linked this to our topic about WW2. We are writing a diary entry for a child who was evacuated during the war. We looked at common features of diary entries and used these as our success criteria. Hopefully you will enjoy reading them at parents night.
