In Literacy this week we have been studying poetry. During our Daily Literacy Lessons, we were reading poems and looking for examples of similes, onomatopoeia and personification in them! We each chose our favourite poem from our readers and on Friday we had a Poetry Recital in class! Everyone read with such confidence and enthusiasm. It was good to hear different poems and we noticed that even if someone read the same poem as someone else it sounded different depending on the rhythm and what words were emphasised.
In writing, we continued with the theme of poetry by creating our own poems on the theme of ‘Once Upon a Dream’. We are aiming to use different poetry techniques and punctuation to help the reader imagine our dream and to make our poems interesting. We will let you know how they end up next week!
In maths, we are have been comparing and ordering fractions visually! We were using a Fraction Wall to identify equivalent fractions too. It’s been a challenge but with perseverance we are now experts at using the Fraction Wall to help us with our learning!
It was St Mark’s Feast Day and we celebrated with a whole school mass. Mrs Sutherland hadn’t heard of our St Marks school song so we enjoyed teaching her! 😀
In music, we have started a new block of learning and we are learning how to compose our own song! We created two lines on Thursday and can’t wait to make some more! 🎵
It’s been a very creative week in P5b!!
Next week we have our ‘Come and Learn with Me’ afternoon on Monday and our Learning Assembly on Friday.
We can’t wait to show off how fantastic we are!!
