The children in Primary 5 have been very busy since coming back to school in August.

We have started using the Talk for Writing process and wrote some super sets of instructions on how to trap mythical creatures last term.  We shared our learning with P3/4.  We acted out and read our instructions to them.

We have also been working really hard on revising our short vowel sounds.  We have started to use the Wraparound Spelling programme.

We learn to play the ukulele on Thursdays with Mrs Gillies.

In maths we have learned about coordinates, angles, direction, compass directions, symmetry and 3D objects. We have had great fun being creative with our learning during our morning activities too.

In Health and Well-being we have had some great discussions about being Safe, Healthy, Active, Nurtured, Achieving, Responsible and Respected. We still have to cover Included.

In term 2 we will be focussing on writing settings and character descriptions as beginnings for stories.  We will continue to revise our short vowel sounds and move on to the long vowel sounds.  During reading lessons we will focus on the skill of inferring. In Numeracy we will move on to learning about Place Value, Rounding, Estimating, Addition and Subtraction.  Our I.D.L. theme will be Christmas around the World.
