Hello,

Firstly I would like to apologise for the delay in uploading last weeks blog entry!

This week at Crookfur we have been working hard to finish our pictures for the Harry Potter competition. The competition involves creating a magical professor with the winning class going on a trip of a lifetime to discover the magic of Harry Potter at the Warner Bros studios in London!!! We will do our best to post pictures later in the week so that you can see our fabulous creations! 🙂

We have also been busy finishing our renewable energy posters and hope to have these displayed in our classroom very soon.

During PE we met our new teacher who is called Mrs black. We took part in a variety of running and sequencing activities and really enjoyed the lesson.

In language we completed our ‘Titanic: New Evidence’ note taking task and used our notes to write a report on the findings. It was very interesting and we discovered lots of new information!

The fantastic fractions have been learning more about equivalent fractions and will be continuing with this next week too. The excellent equations continued to learn about volume and capacity by estimating the capacity of different containers before filling them with water and discussing the accuracy of their estimations. The super subtractions have been focusing on the Crookfur Construction Challenge which has involved lots of tricky problem solving activities.

This week we were also lucky enough to take part in a discover learning workshop in our classroom. During this workshop we learned about roman numerals and took part in various problem solving activities which were all themed around a roman banquet! This was really fun!

We also had our class photos taken which was fun (and we all looked fantastic! 😉

It has been another busy week and Primary 5 have all worked very hard 🙂
