This term the class topic is Scotland. This topic has opened up a window of learning opportunities that range from investigating the history of Scotland, researching and documenting famous Scots, creating Scottish tartan, symbols and Scottish landscape paintings in art, experiencing Scottish literature and poetry while learning about renowned Scottish poets and writers in the process. The class will also experience learning about various geographical locations in Scotland. This topic will help broaden their familiarity with their own country, historical past and culture.

In maths the class have been learning all about measure and have been developing their knowledge of this concept. They have been undertaking lessons that focus on promoting their capacity to use measure in everyday and practical contexts. Consequently, the class have been enjoying the active and engaging nature of the maths lessons in class.
In literacy the class are being encouraged to broaden their vocabulary and to use as many exciting adjectives, verbs and conjunctions in their writing as possible. The neat presentation of work is also a big priority this term and I have been emphasising in class the importance of tidy presentation of work. The class are developing their understanding of headings and sub headings and are beginning to understand when to use these appropriately in their work. The class are participating well in discussion work and thoroughly enjoy learning about punctuation and expression and how to use these effectively in their reading and writing. The class are full of imagination and have also created excellent creative writing pieces this term.
