We played charades with Mrs Crookshanks. We had to act out feelings.

This week we started Fruit Stop! At 2 o’clock we all stop, get our fruit and have a short break.

It is good fun!

On Tuesday we carried out a survey to find out how healthy our school grounds are.

We wrote down lots of ideas for improvements.

The results showed that most people were happy and active in the school grounds.

We organised the results by using a tally chart and then displayed them on graphs.

After school on Tuesday the Pupil Council held a school disco. It was exciting.

On Wednesday we went to the Berwickshire High School for our sports. First Mr Christie took us for a warm up and then we got started with out races and events.

It was very cold!

We finished off with a game of Softball.

We were making leaflets for a competition to help adults keep their children safe near roads.

To learn about different emotions we had a happy days. We each picked out a happy emotion from a bag and we had to be that emotion all day.

In maths we were learning how to draw graphs. We learned how to draw the scale, label the axis and plot the data accurately.

Our graphs showed our results for the Westruther Challenge in 2009 and this year. We could then see if we had improved.

Alison worked with us and we talked about people who help us and who we help.

On Friday we did drama outside because it was about the playground. We listened to a poem called The Loner and did lots of still pictures and discussions. We thought about what it would be like to be the loner and how we could help them.
