Monday
In maths we have started learning about sequences and patterns, we have been counting on in different sequences and trying to work out the rule to follow. After break we had literacy. We looked at our new phoneme ‘s’ and we found lots of ways to write our phoneme. Then after lunch we did some artwork for spring. We made a patterned snail and a symmetrical ladybird to put on the walls and windows, the classroom will look lovely and colourful with all of these up.
Tuesday
Some of primary 5 attended cross-country finals they came the 30s and 40s but still well done. Well done to the other cross-country people from P6 and P7. In the morning we learned about FUNCTION MACHINES. In literacy we did partner dictation. In the afternoon half the class made PIZZA and the other half made posters on hygiene and safety rules. Then we swapped over. We all realise how important it is to follow the rules when we are cooking and we know we need to be clean and hygienic.
Wednesday
This morning we did taught writing using persuasive language. We wrote about why you should come to the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games. After break we did Gimme 5 and some work on function machines. Here is an example- in= 6 function= x7 out= 42. We also know that when you have only the function and the out number you need to use the inverse operation for example the out number was 42 and the function was x3 you would need to divide by 3 to get the in number which is 14. After lunch we went to stage assembly, which is normally on a Tuesday, but Mrs McIntyre was at the cross-country finals with some of the girls from our class and some of the boys from Primary 6. In stage assembly we learned about Earth Hour. We made wishes for the Planets future and coloured a star in. Then we practised our hymn songs.
Thursday
Today we had hymn practice first thing to get ready fir our Easter service. Then when we came back to class we read a chapter of our reading books and worked on our reading strategies, Burns did comprehension. After break we had gym, we did forward and backwards rolls, handstands, cartwheels, and sequences then some went to the book fair to look at books. After lunch we made Mothers day cards and we did super stars. Miss McGregor read a chapter of our book ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’ it is getting really interesting

We were making the Simpsons say stuff and putting them in the right place and Mrs McIntyre would give out prizes for the ones that were absolutely perfect, using all capital letters, full stops, speech marks and new line-new speaker. While we were working Mrs McIntyre put a short BBC clip on about how to use and write direct speech and speech marks. We were also doing an apostrophe booklet there were 3 pages long.
