Happy Friday Everyone 🙂

 

We have had a brilliant week in P5b.  This week we have been continuing our work on our fantastic stories for the BBC radio 2 500 words competition.  This week we took time to up level them and add some more ambitious vocabulary, make sure our punctuation was correct and add in some exciting ideas.  We got to do this on the laptops which was great because it was much easier to change and make our stories better than in the writing jotters.

We worked very hard in our literacy learning experiences this week.  We worked on comprehension, spelling and story wriritn.  We shared our ideas with one another and helped each other when we were struggling. We enjoyed all of the work although some of it was a bit tricky.  We developed the skill of reading the text carefully and thinking about what words would fit best in a text.  This will help us if we can’t understand a word in a text. We can read around it and get all the clues and then guess what the word might mean.  We revised all the other question types which are remembering, understanding, evaluating, applying and analysing.

In maths we have been working on the number processes and we all need to keep working on remembering our multiplication and division facts especially the 7 and 8 times tables.  The Division Destroyers got to work from a new book in maths where they were learning more about numbers in our world and how important number work is.  The book is called Primary Maths in Action.  The Multiplication Masters have been revising adding, subtraction, multiplication and division.  The Subtraction Skelatrons worked on lots of vertical calculations and word problems and the Times Terrors were revising rounding to the nearest ten within a calculation and also addition and subtraction work.

We are saying a short “bye” to Emily because she is going to Australia for ONE MONTH! Have fun and enjoy the sun.  We can’t wait to hear all about it.  We are really excited for her.

Acheivements:

Lilly and Holly are becoming sixers in their brownie pack and Freya and Rebecca are both becoming seconders.  Well done girls, what a great achievement. We hope you enjoy your new job at Brownies 🙂
