What a busy start we have had to term 2.
We were so happy to continue our music sessions. This week we got a chance to be composers and created our own rhythms using body percussion.
We also got to work finishing off our model houses. Lots of us are now at the interior decorating stage; adding wallpaper and even carpets to our models.
In literacy – we continued our work on Fantastic Mr Fox. We focused on summarising and visualisation.
For our writing this week we got the chance to edit and then word process our descriptive writing.
We also had a chance to refresh our knowledge of the formal method with exchanging for addition. Over the coming weeks, we will build on this knowledge as we develop our knowledge of addition and subtraction.
Have a great weekend!
This week we have been continuing our work on descriptive paragraphs.
We have been learning to use similes, alliteration and descriptive phrases in our writing.
We have also been working on editing and redrafting our work. We have been using a ‘tickled pink’ and ‘green for growth’ system to edit our work before getting the chance to type up a final copy.
We all chose a piece of text that we are currently working on to share with you this week. Look out for the finished piece!
Can you spot any quality pieces of description in our work so far?
This week in Primary 4/5 we have been very busy.
We have undertaken a STEM ‘model house’ project with P6/7.
We are working in small groups to design, construct and create 3D house models using a range of materials.
This week we learned about cardboard attachments. We have used joins such as slots, flanges and tabs to construct our models.
Look out for updates on our models over the coming weeks as we add carpets, wallpaper and more!
This week we also had our first music session with Miss Eggo. We learned about rhythm and beat.
We can’t wait for our next session!
Have a great weekend everyone!
