What an exciting end to the week!

The children have thoroughly enjoyed today’s STEM day. We welcomed guests from Scottish Southern Energy who gave a workshop on electricity and staying safe. In the afternoon, we experimented with using different fruit and vegetables as power sources for series circuits.

In Maths this week we have been looking at calculating the area of rectilinear shapes, as well as converting between different units of measure.

English learning this week involved planning our play scripts in preparation for writing our final play script about Peter Pan next week.

In RE we looked at Nunc Dimittis, Simeon’s response to seeing Jesus in the Temple.

Homework this week includes using the place value grid to practise converting between different units of measure (by multiplying/dividing by 10, 100 and 1000). Remember to use the key vocabulary: ten times greater/smaller, one hundred times greater/smaller and one thousand times greater/smaller – NOT ‘just adding/taking away the zeros’!

The children have written this week’s spellings in their Home Learning Diary.

We wish you all a lovely weekend.
