This Week’s Learning

Firstly, thank you to all the parent’s and carers who attended our Christmas Carol concert! The pupils worked really hard and they were so excited to preform- well done Primary 5 🙂 

Literacy:
Myra- We continued to work on inferences this week.
Sophie- We picked our own spelling words this week from words that we find difficult and spelled incorrectly in our spelling tests.

Numeracy: 
Harley- The circles were learning how to add and subtract 4 digit numbers.
Sara- We were revising multiplying 2 digit numbers and we also continued our work on function machines.
Murdo- We continued to practise multiplying by 6. We also multiplied 2 digit numbers by 6!

Social Studies: 
Christopher- We looked at schools throughout the decades and compared it to school today. We wrote down questions about what we would ask someone about school back in the 1960s and 1970s and then we listened to interviews from people who went to school then to answer our questions. We researched any unanswered questions on the Chromebooks.
Daisy- We then created a venn diagram comparing school in the 1960/70s to school in 2021. We also drew a a comparison of the different classroom and labelled them (e.g. chalk board vs smart board)

RME: 
Lewis- We learned about the 5Ks in Sikhism, their names and what they symbolise.

Woodland:
Jamie MacK- We used our sense outside to create a woodland poem. We were also bird watching using binoculars (RSPB Wild Challenge).

Expressive Arts:
Ethan- Following on from woodland, we created an advert or news report about why we should look after the planet and how we can help (RSPB Wild Challenge).

Health and Wellbeing: 
Morven- In Growth Mindset, we did silent graffiti about our learning this term and we also did another Growth Mindset Questionnaire to compare our results from the first lesson and a lot of us have really improved our mindsets!
Ace- Since it was the last week, we has free choice in the muga, so we picked parachute games! My favourite game was the shark attack game- it was really funny.
