P5

On Monday we created times table maths games for the rest of the class to play. We did maths, literacy and topic.

On Tuesday we found out our new topic, which is the water cycle. We also looked for Halloween songs and played Halloween games on the I- pads.

On Wednesday we completed our learning logs. We also are doing spelling on the computer, group reads and individual reads, inferences, summaries and main points.  And play maths games. We also done main points on the

I pads. We made positive and negative symmetrical pumpkins. At P.E we are doing hockey with Mrs Bokas.

On Thursday we go swimming. At swimming some people have got moved into the big pool. Group 1 & 2 have Jean & Lorraine. Today we learned life saving skills to save somebody in an emergency and we do P.E. We go to the tryst we had P.E with Emma, in the first 3 weeks we had dance and then we had Greg and we played handball. This is the first week we have had Tony and we started dance again. In dance we learned balances traveling moves and rotation moves. Later on in the day we published our favourite bit of work from our Daily writing jotter. We have worked very hard choosing our favourite piece of work.

Primary 5 have been learning how to use the I pads.

We are the new Primary 5. Our teacher is Miss McGregor. Mrs McIntyre takes our class on a Friday. This term our topic is Our Body. We have been doing a lot of co operative learning on this topic as we learn to work together effectively.

In taught writing lessons, we have written reports about bones and the senses. We know that we need to include a heading, an introduction, subheadings and diagrams in a good report.

In active literacy we have all been learning to use our reading strategies effectively whilst reading  a novel as a class called – The Iron Man. We find inferencing the trickiest skill, but we will keep practising. This week we started our own group novels.

In Maths we have been continuing to build on our knowledge of place value and consolidating our addition and subtraction skills. We have also been revising our bonds to 100 and linking our addition and subtraction facts. We are also currently working on  the properties of 3D objects and will move onto 2D shape followed by symmetry. Mrs McIntyre and Miss McGregor are very pleased with our progress so far.

Primary 5 have had a very hard working term. We have been learning lots of new things. A challenge that many boys and girls overcame was when we were learning to multiply with double digit. Tricky at first, but much easier after having several attempts 🙂 Miss O’Brien always says, “if at first you don’t succeed, just try again!!’

Another highlight of our term was the trip to the People’s Palace. We learned loads of interesting facts about Glasgow. A particular favourite was visiting the jail. Lunch in the Winter Gardens was a treat, the sun shone for us. We had a great learning experience.

Finally, we have been discovering many things about the famous Titanic. We have been learning about the vast differences in the social classes, the building of the famous ship and we can now have our own opinion about who should have been held responsible for the disaster!!!

We are looking forward to a well earned rest and coming back for term four 🙂

First of all we clicked on keynote. We picked the design we wanted on the slides. After that we looked for pictures about Glasgow. We copied the images onto the keynotes and then we added the information. We changed the fonts and the transitions and we saved it to the desktop.

We planned and created our own designs for George Square.

This month we have been learning all about Glasgow.

Over the last two weeks during ICT  time, we have learned how to create keynote presentations.

We learned how to add  and change images and text and to create transitions between the slides.

We saved them to our blog so you can see them. Unfortunately, they are PDF documents so you won’t be able to see the fancy transitions we learned to move between slides.

Click on the links to view  some of our keynote presentations. Some won’t be uploaded, as they are still work in progress.
