Hello Everyone,

I hope that you are all well and rested from a wonderful holiday and that you have all had a wonderful time.

This week, we have one more representation of the ae phoneme to learn about that is…… ey.

We will also be revising our 3x, 6x and 9x tables….. Can you remember how to use your ‘Piano Fingers’ to help you with the answers to the 9x table?

P5 Week Commencing 19102020

Good luck everyone,

I look forward to hearing all about your holiday adventures tomorrow,

from,

Miss Steedman

We have been learning all about the water cycle and are very good at using and explaining what happens using some long scientific names!

To show off what we have learned there is a homework task. We have looked in class at some ideas and different ways to present our learning. The link to the task is here.

The Water Cycle homework

The date for the project to be ready is Friday the 23rd of October.

Let’s hope for no precipitation during our holidays!

Have fun being creative

Mrs McMillan 🙂

We have made it to the end of Term 1 – well done P6W.  I’m sure everyone is looking forward to their holiday.

This week we have been focusing on improving our story writing skills.  We planned and wrote another adventure story and the pupils agreed they had met more of the required success criteria for this genre.  We all enjoyed listening to our stories being read out.  In maths we have been calculating time durations and used stopwatches and egg timers to time different activities.  As part of our Forces topic we used a Newton meter to measure the amount of force needed to pull an object over different surfaces then we designed information posters to explain when friction is useful and not useful.

HOME CHALLENGE

As we are off for a week it would be a good idea to keep practising multiplication tables, in particular the 6x, 7x, 8x and 9x tables.

I have also assigned you some tasks on Education City – homework.  I hope you’ll give them a go.

Another home learning task would be to draw and/or take a note of 2 or 3 occasions when friction has been useful for you and when it has not been useful .

Email your work to me if you can to eaavril.wilson@glow.sch.uk

Have a great holiday!

Mrs W

It’s the last week of term 1, can you believe it!!

It’s been such a busy term settling into new routines and working hard. Well done to all the pupils in P4 for trying their best and showing a positive attitude this term, you’ve been superstars!

For your home learning tasks this week:

•  Log into Education City and look at homework. I have assigned you a task with this weeks date called “5.10.20“. Complete the all of the games and try to get over 70%! This will practice using capital letters correctly in a sentence and also given you a place value challenge involving 4 digit numbers!
• This week we investigated living/non-living things. We also looked at things that used to be alive. Can you look in your house or garden and try and find an example of something that is a living thing, a non-living thing and something that used to be alive.
• We have been learning about the pop artist Andy Warhol who printed pictures that were very bright and eye catching. He printed pictures of celebrities and every day items and repeated the image over and over. Here is an example of his work to remind you:

In class we started a piece of artwork similar to his. Can you choose an every day item at home and make an Andy Warhol inspired piece! Send in a picture by email if you can to EAaimee.frew@glow.sch.uk.

I hope you enjoy your home learning tasks and have a lovely holiday when it comes!

Miss Frew
