Avelon – This week we have been doing Number Talks style of mental maths with Mrs Rankin. At first we found it quite difficult but we are getting better!
Sally – In Art we looked at hot and cold colours and used paint and black paper to make a skyline scene which shows the contrasting colours.
Paris – We learned about the GIRFEC indicator ‘Active’ and researched information about ‘green exercise’. We also did some science work on Speed, Distance and Time and forces. We made rockets and launched them then used the time and distance information to work out the speed which they travelled at. The winning rocket was the fastest one and it travelled at 8m/s!!!
Rachael – We launched our new IDL topic WW2 and we learned about the reasons for WW2 starting, the key leaders from each country and we listened to Neville Chamberlain’s speech which he made to the people of Britain on 3rd September 1939.
