This week in Number Talks, we have been revising all the different addition strategies we have learnt. We selected a chilli challenge calculation and then completed the addition calculation using 4 different strategies – adding in chunks, vertical calculations, place value and compensation.
We had great discussion about which strategy we preferred. We also recognised that sometimes our favourite strategy might not always be the quickest or most efficient. Great work, P4/5!
Homework will resume next week (Monday 12th January) for a 4 week block.

It will also be posted on the Homework Channel within the class Team which can be accessed via Glow. This is also where you will find the weekly homework grid and any additional resources.
Any issues accessing the homework via Glow, please let Mrs Conetta or Mrs Eccleston know.
Tomorrow the children are welcome to bring a blanket and a toy. We are going to watch That Christmas which is rated PG. Please email Gayle.eccleston@eastayrshire.org.uk if you would prefer your child not to see the film.
Thank you
Mrs Eccleston
P4/5 wrote a recipe for the Christmas Eve they have at home as part of the genre procedural writing.
We had lots of fun at our Christmas party this afternoon. We took part in musical statues, Christmas corners and Christmas action games. We had a great time dancing and enjoyed a snack too! When we got back to our classes, a sack of present had been left for the class. Thank you, Santa!!
As part of our learning about procedural writing we followed a recipe to make cakes. We also used our numeracy skills to weigh and measure.
P4/5 enjoyed performing the songs they had learnt at the Christmas Fayre.
In literacy we have been learning to create pieces of procedural writing and this week we focused on a recipe for a jam sandwich.
As part of our forces topic we learnt about the famous bridge and canal Scottish engineer Thomas Telford. The task was then to build a bridge that would hold a car.
We have been revising numbers 0-30 in French. We used Numicon to make the numbers and our partner had to say the number in French. Bravo!
