Build a snowman and measure its height in cm. Send a picture of your snowman on class dojo.

Throw a snowball and count how many large steps is takes to reach your snowball. Tomorrow we will work out the average difference thrown and put into a bar graph.

World Book Day

Create your own character for our class novel Romans on the Rampage. Give your character a name, age and describe their personality.

Literacy/Topic

1. Last week we were learning all about the Roman Army, if you can choose 4 items from the Roman uniform. Use your research skills to find out the proper name and the proper use of each item.
2. Read what the Romans liked to do in their spare time. Use the information you have read to answer questions. You can type your answers onto the school blog or you can write down your answers and bring them into school.

This week has been fantastico!

Carly said “I really liked doing our number maps today. I liked it because we got to draw a sum, write a sum and use different strategies.”

Emma said “I enjoyed doing our place value using nature. We had to find different things in the garden to make our hundreds, tens and units. I also liked learning about gravity.”

Kuba said “I liked pe this week. I scored two goals in handball.”

Richard said “I liked number of the day this week. It helped to start my brain in the morning.”

Teegan said “I really liked our St Ninian’s Feast Day mass. I liked all of the hymns.”

Niamh said “I enjoyed the number maps today. It was fun because you could think of your own strategy to work out a sum.”

Bartosz said “I liked playing everyone’s maths games. It was fun.”

Orla said “I enjoyed learning about growth mindset. I liked to think of all the different words that help me have a growth mindset.”

All of our maths activities have been really interesting. We have really enjoyed inspirational maths week.

Have a lovely long weekend.

Primary 4

 

This week we have been exploring our place value and learning about numbers to 10000. It has been challenging but we are enjoying learning more about numbers.

PE was great fun! We have been developing our hand ball techniques to ensure we work better as a team. This made our games more exciting. This really helped us to realise the importance of team work. Not only in sport but in all areas in our life.

Our dojo competition continues and this week Teegan has one the most points and has taken pride of place on our classroom door. Well done Teegan! Who will it be next week?

Have a lovely weekend?

Primary 3/4 and Mrs Kerr

This week our classroom has had a lovely transformation. We have received a brand new carpet in our classroom.

“It is really, really fluffy” said Evie

“Our classroom now looks better than before” said Haseeb

“I like the smell.” said Ailie

“We wish that we could always do our work on the carpet now.” joked Mark

As our carpet was being fitted we had to do a lot of our teaching and learning outside.

“I enjoyed doing our art outside because we had to sketch different object from our garden” said Jacob

“We had to feel the objects before drawing” said Aoife

“We had to feel the texture and try to show this in our picture.” Said Jan

It was lovely to be out in the fresh air although it is very nice to have our classroom back.

Sorry oictures will not upload onto the blog. I will try to send these through dojo.

Have a lovely weekend!
