This week we came back to school on Tuesday for the start of term 2 . We have started our small block of fitness for PE before we start our Christmas dancing. We did a fitness program with Joe Wicks, it was so tiring ,it was at least 30 mins. After PE we did number talks, we started to order decimals, it was a bit tricky for some of us. We have also started our new topic, it is an enterprise topic called ”Make £5 grow”.
On Wednesday we learned lots of different skills to do with skipping to help with our fitness, for example: 180 spins, beat our high score on how long we could skip for, ect. After we went in pairs and as one of us would be skipping for thirty secs, the other would be doing bench related exercises. We also started our writing which where we had to write about the most favourite day of our life.
On Thursday we did some reading questions, from our reading books. There was ten questions that would give you 1, 2, 3 or 6 marks. You had to use evidence from the text. We also did RE, researching lots of different saints and talking about peace, justice and how to help victims of war, poverty etc. Mrs McDonald also came in for maths.
On Friday we started off our day finishing our writing. Then we did firework safety powerpoint. They were some pretty gruesome pictures but we learn to stay safe on bonfire night.
We were also very excited to start reading buddies with primary one this week. Each week we will visit P1 on Thursday morning to read and help with boost words and spelling.
