Primary 5a have been focusing this term on up levelling their sentences for their writing. We practiced writing sentences with chalk using a variety of wow words from our wow word bank.
Outdoor learning
On Monday we were focusing on using our senses to help us create an Autumn poem. We had lots of discussions around this season and the importance of our senses. Primary 5 had some amazing ideas and included some great wow words in their notes.
World Book Day 2019
We kicked off World Book Day with some maths and numeracy. The book we are reading this term is Esio Trot. We are really enjoying this book so far and learning about Mrs Silvers Tortoise. We used our numeracy skills to weigh out the different weights of the torotises in Esio Trot. We had to change our scales into ounces and we learned that 16 ounces was the same as 1lb.
We then ordered our objects from lightest to heaviest. We all had a turn to feel the weight of all of the objects and imagined them as tortoises.
After break we spent some time pair reading. We shared our favourite stories with our peers, telling them what we liked about the book. We had a great time!
