We have been learning about Scottish inventors and this week we focussed on John Logie Baird, who invented the television. During our lessons we got to make flip books. Hopefully you will have seen the ones we brought home.

In writing, we learnt to write Haikus. Did you know a Haiku has 5 syllables in the first line, 7 syllables in the second line and 5 syllables in the third line? Our theme for our Haikus was winter.

As part of our PE we got to take the volleyballs out and we practised our passes and played tadpoles. We will explain the rules for tadpoles when we get home.

This week our Numeracy has focussed on dividing. The methods we were allowed to use were step sums, sharing and putting them into fractions.

We went online for the author sessions. We got to ask questions of the authors about their books and writing. There were a lot of questions.

We will be in touch soon to tell you more about our learning.
