P5/6 Leading the Learning in P4/5
Today some confident, kind and respectful primary 6s visited our class to teach our class how to play Spelling Battleships.
They explained the rules clearly and demonstrated the game in an engaging and interesting way. We all loved learning from them.
We then enjoyed playing a few games in pairs. A great new way for us to practise our spelling.
Open Afternoon
Thank you to all our parents and grandparents who came along to our literacy open afternoon yesterday.
We enjoyed sharing some of the literacy activities that take place in our class every week including visualiser, clarifier, spelling and grammar tasks.
Clay Pots
In our novel The Boy with the Bronze Axe, we have been learning about the different jobs and skills people had in the stone age. They made their pots from clay and were skilled pottery makers who created pots and added decorations to their design.
We became potters for the afternoon. We used air dry clay and shaped and decorated our pots.
Reading Recommendations
We like to share our thoughts on the books we have read so that we can recommend them to others in our class.
This week we completed reviews on 2 class novels.
Escape from Black Mountain by Martin Chatterton
and
Below Deck a Titanic Story by Tony Bradman
Active Literacy
We enjoy lots of different activities in class that help us to improve our spelling …
Paired Reading
We have been sharing our love of reading with other classes. We have been role models to younger pupils sharing our enthusiasm to read as we build a reading culture within our school.
We have had an exciting couple of weeks back at school. Lots of active learning and collaborative activities.
We have been working in partners to practise our spelling using dictation. We love supporting each other by peer assessing our work.
In numeracy we have been learning to round numbers and estimate values. We have played lots of games to consolidate our understanding. We have also been practising our 4x table and looking for patterns to help improve our speed and accuracy.
