Today a lady came in our class and showed us sums like adding and taking away. Her name was Mrs Galloway. She told us to put sums up on our chest. She also asked our names. Some of the sums were 20+30=50 and 30-10=20, 30+31=61 and 44-20=24.

Sky – Uphall won the Sky Sports cup! We had an amazing day with lots of activities and a gymnastics display! One of our favourite activities was building a huge tower out of cups and seeing how high we could build it.
Assembly – Our class assembly was based on world weather climates and forecasts. We ‘travelled’ to the Sahara Desert, the Amazon Rainforest and the Arctic Circle! We worked really hard learning our lines! Thank you to everyone who came to watch – we hope you enjoyed it.
Bench Ball Tournament – We competed in a bench ball tournament at Broxburn Academy against lots of other schools. We won a few games but could do with more practice! Well done to everyone who took part!

New Year
We have learned that when we are having our lunch a different country is celebrating New Year! There is a countdown to midnight and did you know that in Scotland we call New Year’s Eve Hogmanay? We have all written our New Year’s resolutions – most of us want to keep our rooms tidy, but the teachers all want to get fit and healthy!
Class Focus
This week we have been earning points in class for good behaviour. If we have good listening, pay attention, work hard and don’t shout, then we can earn a class token. We have almost earned 100 so far!
We have a class pet called Marshmallow Max and to get him to sit with us we need to work hard and be kind to everyone else.
Our Classroom
We have taken some photos of our maths wall so you can see the questions we ask Mrs Beattie so we can work out what number she is thinking of. We have also been working on showing each other different ways of working out sums.
In our class we have a class book worm and each time we finish a book we write about the book in a coloured circle then stick it on the wall. Our book worm is almost half way round the classroom now!
