This week in numeracy primary 5/6 have begun to look  at money and the way in which notes and coins are connected. We have also started adding and taking away sums of money using our knowledge of decimals from last term.

Raghav  – “I liked working on sums using the real money and coins. Daily challenge also!”

In literacy we have been exploring different genres in our writing. This week we have been looking at an adventure story. We have been using fantastic vocabulary and similes to describe our character and setting as we continue writing the story.

We have also been putting the finishing touches on our Dashing White Sergeant dance and song for our Burns assembly. It was a fab afternoon seeing everyone’s hard work coming together.

Aaminah – “We have been learning Scottish country dancing for our Burns assembly. It was hard!”

Laibah – “It was tricky to begin because we were all doing the same steps but we got it in the end.”

Liliana – “When were dancing the ceilidh it was hard because we were going so fast but we all ended up getting there in the end.”

We have also started on our STEM topic of bridges and structures so there will be lots of interesting lessons and learning to see on our blog in the next few weeks and months.
