Today we are doing some initial research about France.  Here are some facts we have found out:

 

Angus R – the population is over 64 million.  There are only around 5 million in Scotland so this is more than 12 times the size of Scotland.

Jake – Three of the biggest rivers are the Loire, the Rhone and the Seine.

Lewis – Some of the mountains are called Mont Blanc and Blanc Puy de Dome.

Liam – There is a city called Saone.

Isla – The capital city is Paris

Jordan – some cities are Paris, Rennes, Dijon and Toulon.

 

We are making pic collages and presentations on the information we have found and hope to show you them soon.

 

 

 

Here is the homework for the next two weeks.

 

Homework is still to be handed in on a Thursday and will be returned on the Friday.

P5 Blue September homework

P5 Red September homework

This week we have made our own lego minifigure avatars to use as part of our individual points system.  To decide on our points system we used the tasc wheel and worked together to make up a system we thought would work.

 

We have been finding out about Vincent van Gogh and next week we are going to do some artwork inspired by him.

We have done a spelling test and maths assessment.  We quite enjoyed doing them because it was fun getting to see how we have learned over the years.  It was different to our normal work and time went really quickly!

 

Have a great weekend!

 

 

Here we are enjoying our second day in Primary 5.  Lots of active problem solving and thinking going on today!

 

We made obstacle courses in PE and had to create the obstacle course and then present it to the other groups.  We  then had fun trying out each obstacle course.

 

This afternoon we were set the task of designing an individual reward system for the class.  We used the TASC wheel to help us.  We discovered that TASC stands for Thinking Actively in a Social Context, which really means sharing our ideas and problems solving with others.

Here we are enjoying our Christmas Party!
