Practical maths
Today we were practising our estimation skills and measuring using different instruments and units if measured. It was lots of fun choosing what to measure and getting outside too.
Equivalent Fractions
This morning we had lots of fun learning more about equivalent fractions and then finding equivalent fractions using Sumdog and fun games like snap and snakes & ladders.

Brighter Days
As the weather is becoming brighter and a little warmer we were inspired by our classroom flowers. We looked closely at pictures made with oil pastels and discussed how great pastels are for drawing and making bright artworks. We practised some pastel techniques before starting to create our flowers! They look amazing, we are all super artists!
Italian
This morning we had an exciting Italian visitor from West Calder high school. We had great fun learning numbers and playing some fun language games.
Literacy Hour
Today we started to explore explanation texts and recognising the features of these texts in our library books. We will use this to help in our writing pieces tomorrow.
