This week we have been learning all about fractions. We created our own fraction walls and were learning to identify what fraction of a shape has been shaded. We have also been learning about right angles as degrees of turns.

In grammar we were focussing on our sentences and what a sentence should have. We have also been writing more of our narrative stories and they are coming on brilliantly. We spent time listening to each others stories and giving feedback using our ‘Tickled Pink’ and ‘Green for Growth’ approach.

We have been continuing to develop our fitness skills in PE, focussing on our running and circuits. We also got the chance to make fruit kebabs with Miss Kay as part of our health and wellbeing work.

This week we continued to work on our spelling rules and patterns. We read some more of our Charlotte’s Web book study and this week we focussed on our inference skills and being able to pick out clues from the text, to help us understand what the author was meaning.

In RME we have been exploring Christianity and this week we explored the different features of a church. We created our own stained glass windows and churches.

For PE this week we have been working on our fitness skills and have been walking/jogging for 10 minutes and then completing some circuits. We are hoping to be able to jog nonstop for 10 minutes  by the end of our block.

We were also learning about similarities and differences, as well as discrimination.

This week we have been learning all about the advantages and disadvantages for different materials, looking at natural and synthetic materials and how these are used for different purposes.

We have been learning about different angles in maths and can correctly identify an acute, right, obtuse and straight angle.

On Wednesday we had Discovery Dens and everyone got to participate in a different activity.

In literacy we have been continuing to write our own narrative stories and this week we focussed on the build up and problem.

We have also been learning to code and remix our own music by exploring the Music Lab: Jam sessions.

We’ve had another busy week in P5. This week we have been learning to divide with remainders. We have been continuing to work on our multiplication masters and it has been great to sign off so many times tables. Keep practising – especially the 6, 7 and 8 x table. We were also learning about different types of angles and we used the K’nex to make some of our own angles.

In literacy we started to write our own narrative stories. This week we focussed on writing our introduction where we find out about the characters and the setting for our stories.

We also had a visit from some of the local recycling team, who taught us about our recycling trolley system and what things should be put into each box.
