A busy week in P5b

A firm favourite this week was developing our shooting skills in basketball. As a class, we feel like everyone has made a big improvement and have been supporting each other.

In spelling, we felt our spelling test was quite challenging because it was common words. We used our strategies to help us and are proud of what we achieved. During reading, we enjoyed applying reading strategies to identify if statements were true or false. In writing, we enjoyed writing a Diary Entry and watching the video as a ‘hook’. The video was creative and gave us a lot to write about. It made us realise we can use our imagination to play games and transport us to ‘another world’.

Most of us enjoyed partitioning again this week, using challenging numbers and applying this strategy to addition. We felt proud of ourselves that we could try some on our own after working in a group with the teacher.

Some of us really enjoyed French this week.

We went to our committees, we enjoyed discussing what we will be doing throughout the year.

Due to a change in timetable, we now have P.E/Outdoor learning on a Thursday. Therefore, our new P.E. days are Thursday and Friday. Can I also ask for everyone to make sure they bring indoor shoes. Thank you, have a wonderful weekend from P5b and Miss Hamilton.

Our learning this week!

In Numeracy this week, we have been learning how to compare numbers using greater than and less than. It was fun and we learned that the crocodile always eats the bigger number. We also developed our partitioning skills.

We have been exploring different reading strategies through our class novel George’s Marvellous Medicine. We developed our knowledge on using dictionaries and using context clues to find the meaning of unfamiliar words.

We have found different ways to connect our learning, by using the wordbanks in Numeracy to improve our spelling.

In P.E, we worked on our dribbling and passing skills and practised a bounce pass and a chest pass. We started a class challenge to help us develop our shooting skills and we hope to improve our accuracy as the basketball lessons continue.

Our focus for IDL is Oceans. We learned all about the different layers including the sunlight zone and the twilight zone.
