February Update

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.

This week we have been working on our display boards for a WW2 ‘sharing our learning’ event. We have made our own activities for the parents to do, such as true or false, match the family members and missing vowel games, which will help us provide information. P7P have also created dances to music of the time with our own and the other P7 class which have been recorded.

During PE we have been learning Scottish country dancing like the Gay Gordon’s, Strip the Willow and the Dashing White Sargent. Our focus is rhythm & timing, alongside respect & tolerance as we have to work with our partners.

We are focusing on a new topic – Scottish History. We have split into groups to learn about different aspects of the topic such as inventions, Edinburgh, fashion and music. We will then present back to each other on the research we have completed.

In maths we are learning how to multiply and divide by 10, 100 and 1000.

The whole class is reading Peter Pan and we have words to match up with meanings and find in the book. In writing we are learning about different forms of poetry, like Cinquains and acrostics, and giving them a Scottish twist.
