Last week we planted daffodil bulbs around the school grounds to improve the environment and attract bees and insects. In our procedural writing we wrote down the instructions of where and how we should plant bulbs. On Thursday when we were in the woods we created a peace path amongst the trees by creating clay peace signs for people to follow. In math we have been rounding and estimating as well as investigating the properties of 3D shapes.

When we came back to school on Wednesday it was International Peace Day. Many articles of the CRC related to this theme but the activities link, in particular, to the following articles:  Article 38 – Governments must not allow children under the age of 15 to take part in war or join the armed forces. Governments must do everything they can to protect and care for children affected by war and armed conflict. Article 39 – Children who have experienced neglect, abuse, exploitation, torture or who are victims of war must receive special support to help them recover their health, dignity, self-respect and social life. We had an interesting class discussion about Peace then we wrote PEACE acrostic poems.

Yesterday we investigated some important events in the life of William Wallace as part of our learning about the Scottish Wars of Independence. In the afternoon in RE we investigated the lives of Saint Margaret and Saint David. For our outdoor learning we planted more bulbs and in the woods we carried out different math challenges.

Today – We had our first House Group meeting since 2019. We all took part in planning to update our positive behaviour policy in school. After break we had a school assembly with Mrs McLaughlin and Mrs Callaghan. We chose new lead learners. They are Maja and Dylan. Our Hot chocolate person is Leon. We worked in partners to practise our French numbers. We hope everyone has a great weekend and we will see our classmates on Monday.
