Here is an update of all the things we have been up to in the last few weeks and what to expect for the remainder of term 2.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Maths<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We are making some great progress with our measuring, estimating and accurately measuring length, weight and capacity. Next, we will be calculating the area and perimeter of different objects and places and recognise the importance of these calculations in everyday life.<\/p>\n<p>Well done to everyone who participated in the Sumdog Maths Challenge. Remember, Education City games are provided weekly to support learning at home. We will be revisiting multiplication and division strategies before Christmas so we need lots of practice with our times tables.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Literacy <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With Miss Anadachee, we have been learning about poetry and creating our own poems, inspired by the trees we were observing in Seaton Park. We made notes on the bark, texture, leaves, crown and roots of the trees and even compared them to mythical beasts and creatures.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-11497 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-medium'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/st-peters.aberdeen.sch.uk\/?attachment_id=11506'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" src=\"https:\/\/st-peters.aberdeen.sch.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image33-300x224.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/st-peters.aberdeen.sch.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image33-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/st-peters.aberdeen.sch.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image33.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/st-peters.aberdeen.sch.uk\/?attachment_id=11505'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"224\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/st-peters.aberdeen.sch.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image8-224x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/st-peters.aberdeen.sch.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image8-224x300.jpg 224w, https:\/\/st-peters.aberdeen.sch.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/image8.jpg 448w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 224px) 100vw, 224px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Health and\u00a0<\/strong><b>wellbeing<\/b><\/p>\n<p>We have really enjoyed having Michelle helping at our Friday gym lessons.
