Mr Atkinson’s comment:
We hope everyone who was able to attend the P5 Christmas Carols performance enjoyed it on Friday! The pupils had a great time and as mentioned in previous blogs I am very grateful for the support you have provided in the lead-up to this. They all did brilliantly and I am so proud of them!
Literacy and English
We have been learning about the differences between facts and opinions and how to recognise them in texts. We discovered that it is very important to look for key vocabulary such as “I think” as this helps us to identify that a sentence with this phrase in it is likely to be an opinion.
Numeracy and Maths
We have been working incredibly hard in Maths this week by learning about different Mental Maths strategies to help us with adding and subtracting, converting grams and kilograms, surveying classes and inputting the results into Google Sheets to help us to create bar graphs, using right angles and directions to record instructions which we tested on each other and deciding if particular objects could be measured using millilitres or litres.
Health and Wellbeing
With the hall being used for rehearsals we decided to put our fitness levels to the test by competing in races using the tracks outside!
STEM the Flow
We have done a lot of research to help us finish our science posters that included a detailed explanation of our creations strengths and weakness, instructions of how it operates and recounting what ideas inspired us when planning the prototypes. Each group also presented their models and drawings to the class and now Mr Atkinson needs to review our projects and select one to submit to the competition.
