Summary of Learning – Term 2
Primary 5a with Mrs Nicolson
Summary of Learning
In Reading this term we are focussing on: Predicting what a text may be about before we start reading it, linking what we read to our own experiences, explaining the difference between fact and opinion and recognising fiction and non-fiction texts and their features. In Writing, P5a are focussing on Persuasive texts. We will learn different techniques to influence a reader.
For Numeracy P5a are investigating multiplication and division facts to the 10th multiplication tables. We are going to develop our adding and subtracting skills further. We will be estimating length and weight before using instruments to measure them accurately. We will also be learning about degrees and angles.
Our IDL topic this term will be a history topic chosen by the children. We will investigate a way of life from the past and explore similarities and differences between then and now. We will continue to receive music tuition from Baby Strings which we are really enjoying. We will also learn some Scottish Country Dances later in the term. Our Drama lessons will continue and we will create art related to seasonal celebrations and festivals.
PE Days
P5a will have PE on Thursday (outside) and Friday (inside).
Remember appropriate clothing for these days and remove jewellery.
