We have been learning about prime factorisation, recognising prime numbers and factoring equations to get to the prime root.  Some children were so keen to complete written tasks that they continued into their computer game time!

P5 have been exploring prime and composite numbers. They have been discussing which numbers have only 2 factors – those are prime numbers.  All the others with more than 2 factors are composite numbers.

We have also been looking for all the factors of given numbers up to and beyond 100.

Here is an update on our mindfulness Fridays.

This is certainly a work in progress but the children have shown great determination to do a great job.  We will hopefully finish these this coming week.  We love how different they all are even though we followed the same process :

On Friday we continued looking after our mental health and wellbeing.  We took part in some mindfulness art work.  We have been looking into optical illusions.  These photos are the first step in this particular piece of art.  We are looking forward to adding some colour, tints and shade, later this week.

We have been working collaboratively within our groups. We had to work together to simply cut and make a set of numbers 0-100 and organise them in the best way to find given numbers.  We were then given different multiplication and division facts to find the answers to. It was great to see everyone working for their team to win the game.

 

Over the past few weeks P5 have been working on organising data in different ways.  Last week we looked at bar graphs and how to collect, organise, display and read information using a bar graph:

Last term, P5 were having fun expressing themselves through dance:
