Our Week in P5a

Maths – We have been looking at mental maths strategies to help us improve our speed and accuracy. This week we focused on near doubles, patterns in numbers and shared tips and strategies relating to a wide range of areas such as measure, money, time and volume. We are working hard to improve the recall of our tables and enjoyed games such as loop cards, matching pairs and buzz fizz.

Literacy- Our comprehension activities this week were based on The Laughing Snowman. We were focusing on V.C.O.P and grammar. We also looked at onomatopoeia using a moving image text called Laughing Moon. We had to identify examples of onomatopoeia and verbs and then design our own stills and storyboards to create new scenes for the text.

Art – In art we were learning about Andy Goldsworthy, inspired by his work, we went to the woodland area and created some art work using natural materials.  We have included some photos below to share some of our creations.

Bounce back- In bounce back we have been focusing on catastrophizing and how this can make things worse. We read a book about it called don’t step on the crack and spoke about the importance of having a positive mindset.

Outdoor learning: Our outdoor challenge this week was to find items to represent the initials in our name within a set time. Can you guess who each of these represent?

Ivy, stones, leaves and an apple

String, apple, mud

Acorn, yellow leaves, yellow stones, apple, nettles

Hula hoop, apple, rope, rope, yellow leaf.

It was lots of fun and we came up with some really interesting and creative ideas for some of the letters that were more tricky to find things for.

Well done to our blog editors this week MM and LM who helped to create our blog.
