We have had a very busy term in Primary 5!<\/p>\n

We have been focussing on describing settings for stories in our writing sessions. Lots of nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs have been used. We even managed to squeeze some super similes into our work too.<\/p>\n

Short and long vowel sounds have given us thousands of words to spell, practise, stretch and grow this term. We are becoming experts in our Wraparound spelling lessons.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Inference has been the focus of our whole class reading lessons. \u00a0We are improving our skills in using clues from texts to answer questions. \u00a0We are even managing to add sentences into our writing that need the reader to infer.<\/p>\n

In maths we continued with some shape work learning about 2D shapes and their properties. \u00a0In numeracy we have recently been learning about place value, reading and writing large numbers and rounding. \u00a0One Christmas tree that was made during morning activities cost \u00a31,247,585!<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

The I.D.L topic of Christmas around the world has allowed us to understand some similarities and differences between Christmas traditions in Scotland and other countries.<\/p>\n

We created some echo art during art lessons. \u00a0We also collected leaves and sticks and brought them indoors to create pieces of art. They were amazing!<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

We have been really enjoying doing jigsaws during morning activities and FUN31. \u00a0We emailed Mrs Thorley and asked if we could get some Roald Dahl jigsaws\u2026\u2026..and she said yes! \u00a0They arrived very quickly and we\u2019re making our way through them.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

In term 3 we will be focussing on writing character descriptions as beginnings for stories. We will continue to revise our long vowel sounds and move on to other common sounds. In reading we will continue to use our inference skills and also move on to summarising. In numeracy we will focus on mental and written methods for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Our I.D.L. theme in January will be Scotland.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
