What an exciting week we have had in Primary 5. This week we continued to look at subtraction. We used formal methods of subtraction to complete tasks (chimney sums) and we practised subtracting 11 by using the strategy -10 then -1

Here are a few comments about our learning.

“I’m getting a lot better at it” FN

“I like doing chimney sums” DM

We also started our new topic ‘Natural Disasters’.

In Literacy we started new novels and in story writing we wrote a recount about our October holidays.

“I enjoyed Literacy because I like my book” LW

“I was excited to write about Blackpool” KD

We also had a super time on Friday. We participated in Kodaly music whilst dressed in our Halloween costumes.

Below are a selection of photos from Friday. We hope that you like them.
