We have been investigating 2D shapes including more complex shapes such as rhombus, parallelogram, octagon. We created posters explaining the properties of these shapes including the number of sides and the number of vertices.

P4/5 – Numeracy – Number Talks
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!
P4/5 Literacy
In literacy we have been learning to create pieces of procedural writing and this week we focused on a recipe for a jam sandwich.
P4/5 – French
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!
P4/5 Maths
Exploring, learning and reinforcing times tables with Numicon.
p4/5 Forces topic
We explored buoyancy and items that would float or sink. We discussed what the items were made of and why they were more likely to float or sink.
p4/5 HWB and Outdoor learning
We harvested the carrots made in the garden and made them into a delicious carrot soup. We also made bird feeders with apples and sunflower seeds.
p4/5 Forces
Over the past few weeks we have been investigating forces on objects. We have created fair tests, changed variables and evaluated results. We have explored gravity, push, pull, height, friction and water resistance.
P4/5 Eco Code: Global goal 13 Climate Action
Primary 4/5 completed the co Schools environmental review. They identified what we are doing and what we could do. We identified one of the main issues is that the recycling bins for paper are not used correctly. The pupils’ designed posters to remind classes what should go in the paper bin.
Next they created a new Eco code for our school on the 4 key areas of Transport, Waste, Energy and Nature. The Eco leader from P7 came to select the most informative codes. These will now be displayed around the school. Well done p4/5!
P4/5 – RRS: Dignity, Equality and Equity
At the start of each school year, we create our class charter and refresh our knowledge of Right Respecting Schools. We have been reminding ourselves of the ABCDE of rights and what dignity, equality and equity means to us.
We explored what dignity, equality and equity mean and what this looks like at Fenwick Primary School and ECC.
