In the first week of term we re-arranged the tables in the class and joined new groups to work with.

We were each given puzzle pieces that when placed together became 5 unusual pieces of art. We discussed the artworks and what we thought they might be.

We then took time to get to know our new group members. Using information shared, we came up with a team name and designed a banner to reflect our group.

We all had a specific role within our team and we worked together to make fair decisions. We then shared our team names with the rest of the class and came up with our own ‘secret’ group handshake! That was a lot of fun!

During our last ICT slot we logged into Glow; our school’s educational platform for learning. Through Glow we also have access to Outlook and other usesful programmes such as Word and PowerPoint.

We learnt about email and how to write and send one. We all successfully sent an email to Miss Douglas and a friend in the class. Our Glow email will be used for learning tasks only and to send and receive information about homework.

We also discussed the importance of sending appropriate messages as emails cannot be ‘unsent’.

We will be continue to explore Glow and its many resources throughout this term. We will be using our school email account to share ideas with others when collaborating on group tasks and to post comments on the class blog.

It is nice to see some P5 pupils have left some comments on recent posts on the blog. 😊
