Literacy:
We conducted an experiment to see how soap dissolves micro-organisms such as bacteria, and then we wrote an explanation of what happened and why. We have been completing independent comprehension tasks in our reading groups, based on a novel of our choice. This has included tasks such as making 3D scenes from the book, creating animations, writing alternative endings and completing a book review.
Numeracy:
We have continued with our algebra and most of us are now able to simplify third level equations! We have used our times tables knowledge again to solve equations and find the value of x. In Maths we have been revising our speed, distance and time knowledge to help us with our problem solving.
IDL:
The Dragon’s Den team were successful at the West Lothian event on the 27th February and we were awarded a grant to start our juice bar. More details to follow next term!
We had a great day out to Dynamic Earth last Thursday. The tour was really good, with lots of surprises along the way. We learned lots about geology and the history of Earth. The STEAM careers fayre was very interesting and we got to do lots of fun activities like deep dive with a VR device, hold small sea life creatures like crabs and starfish, and talk to people who work to conserve our oceans.
We are very excited about our P5-7 show! We hope to see all of you on Thursday 16th March!
We have also been busy with our art work for the art exhibition which will be held on the 29th and 30th of March. P7 have completed 4 pieces of art in the last few weeks and they will choose which one they think represents their best work for the exhibition.
We are also very excited about our bike-ability sessions which will start on Wednesday 15th March and every Wednesday until the end of term. If your child has a bike of their own, then please bring it into school on a Wednesday along with a helmet, if possible.
We are hosting another coffee morning on Friday 17th March. The proceeds will be split between Comic Relief and our buses for camp. We are looking for lots of kind donations of home baking to help make it a successful morning and we hope to see you there!
