P4/5 have continued reading their new class novel, ‘Danny the Champion of the World’, and have completed a summarising activity as well as a main ideas activity on the first few chapters.  Everyone seems to be enjoying the story so far!

This week for mental maths we focussed on a new strategy which is called repeated addition. This strategy links multiplication to addition. Everyone done really well using this new way of thinking!

For numeracy we have been focussing on division; some groups using the formal written method, some groups using multiplication squares and others using concrete materials to help support them.

We have also spent some time learning our new poems and starting our new topic which is Scottish Landmarks. We have started looking at Edinburgh Castle and will continue with this next week.
