We’ve been looking at the veins and arteries of the body and how they move blood around the body to the heart. We made a map of the body to show this.

We have started talking about our health education and discussing the changes in our bodies.

We used reading routes this week to explore atmosphere and mood. We had to use evidence from the text to support our answer.

P7 have been focusing on multiplication strategies, using mental or written methods. We are working on the accuracy of our times table knowledge to support this.

As a class we have written persuasive letters to Mrs Hollands. We used powerful openers and persuasive language to try to convince her to allow the use of personal devices for our learning and about how to develop our playground.

Hello, this is P4b’s blog. We have had a fantastic week this week. Here are some of our highlights-

Summer ‘I have enjoyed practising for our assembly and learning about compassion’

Ben H ‘I liked writing the postcards of kindness because I liked writing to the elderly’

Amina ‘I have enjoyed making new friends and playing together’

Katie ‘I enjoyed doing spelling and learning about compassion’

Matthew ‘I am enjoying making powerpoints on the laptop. The powerpoint is about water’

Robbie ‘I enjoyed doing maths, using hundreds, tens and units’

We have been very busy! We will be back next week to share the next part of our learning journey.

Alana ‘I enjoyed our maths activities’- we have been exploring number combinations as part of our morning chilli challenge.

Alfie ‘I enjoyed Free Writing Friday’- the children have had the opportunity to write about a subject area of their choice.

Madison ‘I enjoyed writing our poem about compassion’- we have written acrostic poems, linked to our value of the month. We look forward to sharing these during our assembly.

Malek ‘I enjoy Fact Finding Friday’- we pose a question and research the answer, using our note taking skills. Our question was : How does night time happen? Ask your child to share their findings!

Ruaridh ‘I enjoyed learning our song about compassion’- We are learning the song ‘I can’t change the world’. It is sounding fantastic!

Rory ‘ I enjoyed creating our Scottish landmark artwork to send to our partner school in India’- We drew detailed line drawings of several Scottish Landmarks which Miss Brown and Mrs Robertson will be delivering personally to India!
