Dear Parents,

On Monday we took part in a debate about renewable and non-renewable energy sources to round of our topic work in that area and really enjoyed finding out about the structure of a debate and how to take part. We are looking forward to more experiences of debate this year.

We have been working on Fractions, Decimals and Percentages, links between them and how to find a fraction or percentage of an amount. Our NSAs (formally SNSA) Standardised Assessments are next week so F.D.P will continue in the New Year.

We have written our final Explanation Report, for this term, where we had free choice of the topics. Mr McGurn is looking forward to finding out about a very large and varied cross section of topics like: How Football was Invented or How to Win at Modern Warfare.

In health and wellbeing we have begun to learn about the Zones of Regulation, which is a tool to help us better understand our emotions and how to deal with them. We played Bingo…

and discovered the area in the classroom where we can take a little break from things if we find ourselves in the red or yellow zones…

Congratulations to Chiedochie and Tanvi who both placed in the Top 10 in our recent West Lothian Sumdog Competition!

Pardhu and Katie both mention their highlight of the week being ‘getting ready for the NSAs’ whilst Chiedochie said her highlight was, “Our class did a debate of renewable and non-renewable energy.”

This week’s Hot Chocolate at Home winner was….
