This Week in P5a…

Literacy: 
Lucas- Our comprehension tasks have been about understanding words from the text. You need to read around the word to find clues.
Sophie C- In writing, we were learning how to use direct speech for when people are talking.
Talking and Listening:
To move away from the traditional “stand up and do a talk” as part of their talking and listening assessments, we are allowing the pupils to plan, practise and deliver a lesson where they are the teacher…
Ace- We are going to be the teacher soon so we had to write up a lesson plan for a lesson we will teach in either groups or to the whole class! For example, me, Jamie F and Ethan are going to be giving a maths lesson on times tables.
Inaaya- Our lesson is a circle time lesson (Health and Wellbeing) to build friendships in the class. We want them to self assess by showing thumbs like we do in class with Miss MacMillan.

Numeracy:
Ethan- The circles have learning how to find the perimeter and area of rectangles and squares.
Olivia- The triangles have been learning our 7x table! We practised by playing lots of games with timers, card games, board games and games on the chrome book.
Heena- The squares have been learning how to subtract 3 digit numbers and converting measure (cm and m).

Social Studies:
Jack- We have been exploring lots of different types of maps to see how they work and what they all have.

RME:
Harley- We have continued the story of Moses, we wrote the ten commandments in our words and then came up with our own.

Music:
Ava- We were learning how recreate songs and make our own music on the chromebooks (Chrome Music Lab). First, we wrote our names and listened to they song it made, then we were given the Star Wars theme tune and we had to pitch it to match!

Health and Wellbeing:
Kerr- We have been learning Social Dancing! We practised the gay gordons- it was hard!!!
