This week P5E have been exploring length through a variety of activities. They can convert between different units, write the same length using different units and accurately measure using rulers and metre sticks.
P5i being positively engaged during Positive Choices week. Which included walking to school in various forms of dress, from odd socks to crazy hair.
Pupils were engaged in a wide variety of activities and events this week. Caring and sharing together during sports activities, learning individually how to be creative using poetry as a stimulus, being positive role models to younger pupils and having fun as they take care of their school environment and themselves. Here is a snapshot of life in P5i during Positive Choices week.
P5E finally showed their PowerPoint stories to their P2 buddies. This was part Digital Learning week.
P2 seemed to enjoy the stories and also provided P5 with some constructive criticism. Well done P5E for working really hard on your stories.
And today’s positive choice was..?
Having fun and learning a few high kicks and punches that help to unify the body and mind. 
Pupils have now started creating their PowerPoint stories for their P2 buddies.
Also, in maths, pupils have now learned about hundredths and how to note them using decimal notation. They played a pairs game revising tenths and hundredths and their decimal equivalents.
Today, as part of Digital Learning Week, we got the laptops out and had a go at programing. Using Scratch – which the children can use online at home – pupils tried to give instructions to their little Sprite using different commands. 
P5E having been learning about decimals, focusing first on converting tenths into decimals and vice versa.
Pupils were matching jigsaw pieces showing matching decimal, mixed number or fraction with its place on a number line. Another activity involved using an Active Maths board game where pupils were to achieve 4 in a row after converting a mixed number into a decimal correctly. The third activity gave pupils a chance to use Sumdog or Topmarks maths. The class worked really hard today.
P5E enjoyed working in the sunshine this morning. As part of digital learning week pupils are working together to create PowerPoint stories to show their P2 buddies.
Today’s session was all about planning our stories using storyboards. Some pupils have started from scratch while others are retelling a fairytale using their own words and images. Our classroom was so warm we took our work outdoors!
Our Mini Mathematicians were out in the sun today, clipboards in hand, as they looked for clues and solved 
problems.
They were then tasked with identifying 2D and 3D shapes. Surprisingly, they all found this task so much easier than the one planned for indoors.
Tying a tie proved very challenging for some. As they need to tie a tie for their class novelty race on Sports Day, could I please ask that you help your little treasure to practice this skill at home?
Today we focused on the issue of plastic bags and the harm they do to the environment. We also looked at some ways we could recycle them and made friendships bracelets from 
3 used bags. Not as adventurous as Marks and Spencer, who make staff fleeces out of theirs, but we enjoyed the challenge of twisting and plaiting strips of plastic to make our bracelets.
