February Update

We have been practising our writing. We were retelling the story of ‘Owl Babies’. In the story, three baby owls missed their mummy. We worked in different groups. We found the task easy and we liked it because we liked the story. We made sure we used capital letters and full stops.

We have read the story of the ‘Gruffalo’ in Scots and are now learning to perform it as a play.  Some of the class have speaking parts and they are having to learn to pronounce the Scots words correctly. Others are making the masks for all of the animals, like the moose (mouse), the hoolet (owl), the tod (fox) and the snake.

To tie in with this, our writing lessons have been focused around designing a wanted poster for the Gruffalo, using Scots language.

This week we have been learning about energy. We have been taught about many different types of energy, such as kinetic energy, chemical energy and heat energy, as well as many others. We focused on energy transfers such as solar energy turning into electricity which can power electrical items around the house.

This week we have also revised and/or learned different division strategies,  including changing a remainder into a decimal.

We have been learning about Robert Burns.

We have been learning facts about his life, like when he died and where he lived. We now know that his father was called William. Robert Burns was born in Alloway in a small cottage. Robert Burns died in 1796 and he was buried on the same day that his son was born.
