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!

Please note that the P7 class assembly on Remembrance Day has been moved from Friday 10th November to Monday 13th November at 9:15. Apologies for this change.

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.
