Last week was maths week and p5 had fun drawing parabolic designs and M.C. Escher designs. We have been practicing the multiples of the 2,4 and 8 times tables. P5 have worked hard on subtracting 3 digit and 4 digit numbers. We made card covers using patterns. We have also created Rangoli patterns using colour number rules. A lot of p5 have been using sum dog or study ladder. Also we have been learning about number sequences and creating our own.  Here are some pictures of us working.

In P.E we have been learning basketball with our coach Adam. We have also been learning how to dribble the ball and we have been using different strategies to get a better aim at shooting.                                                                                                                                                                    We have also been doing maths and division. In the morning we always do gimme 5 which is when someone makes 5 sums and you have to try get them right. Then after we are finished, we mark them together as an class.

We are also learning German with Miss White.Last week we were learning about German clothes and we drew ourselves with German clothes on then we listened to a German song :D.

p5 were also learning about the Berlin wall. Did you know that Berlin is the capital city of  Germany? Last week we were playing this German game called Kahoot it was a quiz about Country’s map.                                                                                                                                                            We each got an Ipad and played it. After words we got an piece of paper which asked us where the capital of Germany or the capital of Scotland was,  it asked us the populations too.                                                                                                                                                                                            We made group names up and they are: mlg cookies, Pizza Steves The food party, and the dabbing Devils. They are all really cool names.I made up mlg  cookies.                                                                                                                                                                                                                            We were doing Vincent Van Gogh paintings and we recreated ‘sunflowers.’They are really pretty, some are over in the main building and some are in our classroom. We used water colors.

We are reading a book called Iron Man. We learned that he was eating all the metal and iron and they buried the iron man.  The little boy was feeling  sad about the Iron Man but the other farmers weren’t feeling sad, they felt happy.

We have also been doing maths. We have been revising  addition, times tables and take away.

In  P.E we did races, games and Jump Start Johnny .Next week we are doing basketball.

We have been learning German with Mrs white. We learned how to speak in  German,  it was really fun.  We played a game called German boggle, it’s where you have to say a German word and if you get the wrong answer you’re out.

Our topic this term is Germany.

This morning after break we did chalk drawings of Albert Eistein. We had to do the drawing upside down it was hard and confusing. We  used white chalk and black paper.We had to be focused to do a good drawing  of him . it was really fun. I loved it so much  best art lesson ever. It turned  out very good for up side down art. Hope you enjoyed.

Today in science  we explored conductors and insulators. A conductor is something that lets electricity flow through an object. An insulator is something that stops electricity from flowing through it. Materials which did not conduct electricity were rubber, wood and plastics so they are insulators.  All the metals objects

we tested lit the bulb so metal is a conductor. From watching a short clip we also learned that although all metals conduct electricity, some are better than others.  Good examples are silver, copper and aluminium.
