Term 3

Numeracy

This term, we have been learning about multiplication and division, and just recently finished our topics on angles. We have been able to develop our knowledge of our times tables, and learning about different methods of division. We have learned about right angles within 2D shapes and other angles and were able to learn how to draw and identify them.

We will be moving onto data handling next week and will be looking at the different ways that data is recorded and shown.

Writing

This term, our writing has been linked to our IDL topics of Scotland and Malawi. We have completed a fact file on Robert Burns in which we used digital technology to research Robert Burns which we found really enjoyable and engaging. We had also created an acrostic poem on Robert Burns. We are now focusing on Malawi as out topic for our writing lessons. We have looked at creating character descriptions, settings and combining both to write imaginatively about our topic.

IDL

Our IDL topics this term are Scotland and Malawi in which we learned “Nessie” by JK Annand as our poem, Mhairi’s Wedding and Mama will you buy me a as out Scottish songs, and also completed some artwork about Scotland. We also learned The Virginia Reel and The Flying Scotsman as our two Scottish dances which we had to perform as part of our whole school Ceilidh. This was part of our Scottish learning completion throughout the whole school. For our topic of Malawi, we are looking at the global goals of No poverty and zero hunger and making a comparison between Scotland and Malawi.

We will be soon moving onto our topic of Our Global World in which we will be learning all about Islam and have an exciting trip booked to a local mosque (Masjid Alhikmah).

PE

This term, our PE has been based around our Scottish dances and gymnastics. We learned our two Scottish dances to perform as part of the whole school Ceilidh and have learned different balances, rolls and jumps within gymnastics. We have been able to create our own gymnastics routine by combining the moves learned.

We will be moving on to tennis in which we will be looking at ball control, accuracy and movement as part of our block.

French

This term, we have focussed on clothing as our French learning. We have been able to identify different items of clothing in every day use and have looked at different items that are used as school uniform.

RE

This term, We have been getting prepared to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation. We have been focussing on various sections which include; God gives you life, God gives you love, God gives you joy, God gives you peace and God gives you forgiveness. These have been important topics as pupils begin to understand the steps they are taking in accepting God into their lives and the journey that they are beginning.
