Reading – Class of 2014

Design Technologies:

This afternoon, we have been very busy constructing models using a variety of recyclable materials. Yesterday, we spent some time researching and planning out what we wanted to construct. We considered the materials we could use, their properties, the time it would take and how we wanted it to turn out.

Today, we brought cardboard, paper and some boxes to school from home. All of these materials are recyclable and we enjoyed putting them together.

We had great fun! We created shields, swords, daggers and more. Have a look at what we made!

Well done P5d, you worked really hard on these. Fantastic results 🙂

Breaking News!

We have been really enjoying getting our hands on newspapers and reading about current events. First News and Newsround have been keeping us up to date with local and national news.

Christmas prep:

We designed and painted small Christmas tree pots. These look really fantastic displayed in the corridor in school.

Very creative P5 🙂 They look really cool, Well done.

Primary 5d have had another action packed week.

Engineering:

On Monday we were very lucky to have a visit from some Civil Engineers. After learning about some projects that civil engineers carry out, we took part in an activity investigating and demonstrating ‘Flood Risk’. We had great fun!

Remembrance:

This week, especially, we remembered all those special to us who have died. We have learned about Remembrance Day and we did some activities to show our respect for those people.

Science:

In our next topic in science, we are going to be learning about Biodiversity. This week we discussed what a diverse range of living things we have on our planet. We are looking forward to investigating this further.

On Tuesday, we went out to the Chestnut garden to identify some living things in our local environment. We are looking forward to learning about habitats, species and ecosystems.

Reading:

We had a very chilled out morning in the library this week. We selected a book and found a really comfortable place to unwind and read. Keep up the rich reading P5d!

Maths:

We are really enjoying having more active fun, in class and outdoors, with our maths learning. This week, we continued using lots of active materials as we learn about division, fractions and decimal fractions.

Well done P5d! Keep up all the fantastic work 🙂
