Another busy week in p5a!

In writing we have been working on our spooky stories , we have now created the beginning of the story using descriptive and figurative language to describe the setting and introduce the characters.
In reading we have been continuing to use our reading strategies and skills through work on our reading books. We also began Reciprocal reading groups this week, where the Big Boss led the group and we all participated with our own roles.  It was very successful.

In maths we have been focussing on the place value rule for multiplying by 10,100 and 1000 and have incorporated hidden times table facts too.

During Topic time we explored the class system and how this looked aboard the Titanic. We had some very interesting discussions about equality and fairness.

As it was bonfire night this week, we also used this as our stimulus for art and poetry writing.

In health and well-being we have been exploring positive friendships and qualities of a good friend as well as looking at conflict resolutions between friends and building resilience,
