Blog Update: 7th November 2022

In literacy we have been learning how to use speech marks and similes. We have really enjoyed narrative writing. We wrote a spooky story and a story about the Egyptians.

In Numeracy we have been learning about money. We have been working with different coins and notes and did some coin rubbings.

We have enjoyed learning about the Egyptians. We drew Egyptian Temples in black pen. We learnt about mummification and then we mummified an orange. We also made models on Temples in our table groups. We also learnt about Tutankhamun’s Tomb.

In RME we learnt about Kosher and non- kosher foods. In PE we have enjoyed doing bench ball and dodgeball.

Welcome back after the October Holidays!

In literacy we have been using a new website called Pixton. Pixton is an online comic maker. Everyone in the class signs into a class group and makes an avatar for themselves which can be used in their own comics. We have used this to create a few comics about plastic pollution and season themes.

In numeracy we have been focusing on fractions. We have been creating our own fraction board games, working on ordering fractions and have been working with equivalent fractions as well.

This term we are taking part in an Air Race Challenge. We are going to be programming and racing drones. We have also been researching careers in aviation. We are also going to be designing our own skins for the drones.

We are also planning a Poppy Scotland Assembly which we will present to the rest of the school. We will be hosting this assembly on Friday the 11th of November to mark Remembrance Day.

Please note that we have also handed out letters about leavers hoodies. Please return these to school ASAP.
