Numeracy and Maths
- JLD liked learning about angles – I learned there are right, acute, obtuse, straight and reflex angles

- LS has learnt the split strategy. I split my tens and add them together. I then split my ones and add them together. At the end I add my tens to my ones.
*AW has been following directions – North, East, South, West. They help you find your way home!
*WR loved Maths week. We had lots of challenges set by the Deputy First Minister. They were pretty hard but we managed to solve some of them.

Literacy & English
*IE has wrote a story linked to topic about volcanoes. We used our topic spelling words throughout our writing

*CM wrote a story about what it would feel like to be in a natural disaster.
Health & Wellbeing
*AJ has learnt about different roles across the school and that all roles are important in our school community. We looked at different jobs and their roles (e.g. a judge). We compared lives in different countries and how this linked to children’s rights. We played charades to learn about making good choices.
*CSc has been taking part in Orienteering. She has developed her problem solving and mapping skills through this. She liked the Harry Potter ones best.

*CSt is quite happy that the school is doing as many things as it can to keep us safe.
*EY likes eating her snack inside as it means there is less litter in the playground
