Dance and Yoga in P5E
We have been learning some traditional African dances in P.E-check out our fabulous moves:
We have also been developing our flexibility by practising yoga:
The theme today was Harry Potter, it was great fun!
P5E Active Learning
P5E have been continuing The Butterfly Lion and this week learned more about the 4 biomes in Africa, the novel’s main setting. It wasn’t an easy task though – pupils had to use their skimming and scanning skills to find the information and report back to the class. There was also some code cracking. As always the pupils made a great effort and most enjoyed the ‘hunt’ for information.
P5E and P5B African country research homework
In addition to the homework set by the class teacher (check the homework slip in your jotter) P5E and P5B pupils have also now been assigned their topic research task:
Research interesting facts about an African country (assigned in class). This can include the following:
*Location in Africa *Population *Size *Climate/Weather *Popular food and drink *Culture *Religions *Languages spoken*Tourism/Famous landmarks *Famous People *Animals in that region
This list is not exhaustive – it may just be a fact you think your classmates would find interesting. Pupils should also think about using non-fiction features to sort their information (e.g. heading, sub-heading, bullet points, pictures/illustrations)
Pupils can choose how to present their information to the class (e.g. PowerPoint, poster, fact file etc.).
It should be ready for Friday 30th November.
This means that all P5 classes have been assigned a similar task, although the date of completion may differ so please double check the date your class has set.
Good luck!
P5E Cross curricular learning
P5E have started their new novel for this term, The Butterfly Lion by Michael Morpurgo. After chapter 1 we compared our school to the main character’s experience of his boarding school. We used a Venn diagram to display this information.
