Rounding numbers
In Maths, P4 have been learning how to round numbers to the nearest 10 and 100. We played a fun game with a partner where we needed to round numbers. The winner was the first person to get 3 in a row. We had great fun.
P7 Scientists
We have been learning to light bunsen burners safely this week, in preparation for investigations to come. We tried opening and closing the air hole to alter the flame – the hotter flame is blue and roars!
P3 Carnival
P3 have spent this week learning about their host country Brazil.
We looked at the world map and found where Brazil was before going on Google Earth and looking at different places in Brazil.
CB “Brazil is in South America”
We learnt about Brazilian carnivals, we practiced dancing and made carnival masks.
In English we wrote invitations to our friends inviting them to our carnival.
We also looked at different types of Brazilian food and made some in class for our P3 Carnival.
We had to follow the recipes, taking it in turns and weighing the ingredients.
We made flour tortillas
Salsa
Brigadeiros
We then had a party to share everything we had learnt with our friends.
These are some of the things our friends learnt.
P7: Who will be King?
Some very dodgy visitors came to P7 today as contenders for the English crown – William of Normandy (looked a lot like Mr Davis); Harald Hardrada (how scary was he!); Edgar Etheling (he was okay) and Harold Godwinson ( a bit sly!). The Witan (committee) interviewed each candidate, before making the final decision and voting for Edgar Etheling. Alas, history is a lot more blood thirsty and Harold Godwinson was the real winner back in 1066. Not for long though…
P8 building in ASDAN
P8 have been building from their imagination this morning working together creating towers, pyramids, houses and bridges.
Croft summer rewards fayre
At the end of last term primary and secondary pupils from Croft Community School enjoyed a rewards fayre where pupils who had earned behaviour coins throughout the term could spend them on rides, activities and food.
Using Our Senses – Taste
We have been tasting some healthy food in P1. We have read the story of ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’. We explored the fruit from the story and followed instructions to make a fruit salad and a fruit smoothie.
We talked about keeping ourselves safe and we know that we need to be careful with the equipment.
We could say if we liked the fruit salad and smoothie or not.
