Today we were searching our reading books for quotes that reveal something about the characters in our book.
The group reading The Invisible Boy gathered lots of great quotes which portrayed Hilda Hardbottomโs evil nature whereas the group reading Kaspar: Prince of Cats gathered quotes which displayed Lizziebethโs loyal but spoilt personality.

Today, in maths, we were continuing our learning on grid multiplication. We also began learning the 8x table. We discovered that, to calculate the 8x table we can just double the 4.
Here is a link to the supermover song for the 8 times table.ย https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/supermovers/ks2-maths-the-8-times-table-with-filbert-fox/z4mrhbk
In literacy we were identifying parenthesis and subsequently adding parenthesis into a sentence. We were getting really inventive with it!
At the end of the day we were practising how to talk about our pets in french. We could not only say that we have a dog or a fish etc., but also what colour they are and what their name is.
Great work today Primary 5, you certainly earned your weekend! Have a lovely time and I will see you all on Monday!

Today we were peer assessing our partnerโs reading. We were listening for whether our partner was reading clearly, fluently, with good expression and whether they were taking account of punctuation. ย We then gave them two stars for things they did well and a wish of something they could practise.

This afternoon, as an end to our learning on Chinese New Year, we created Chinese lanterns.
They look fabulous!

Primary 5 have had such a busy day today! Firstly, we were joined this morning by lots of our mums, dads, grandparents, aunts and uncles to share our learning on our times tables.
Following that we learned about Chinese New Year, which takes place tomorrow, and the story of the Chinese Zodiac. This afternoon we had the opportunity to taste lots of different Chinese food. Judging by the fact that there was none left at the end, I think it was a hit!
Next week we are moving on to look at the six times table so it would be a great idea to get a little practise in over the weekend. Here is the 6x table Super Mover song along with links to Hit the Button and the Daily 10.

I look forward to seeing everyone who is able to come along to the open morning tomorrow!

Today in maths we were multiplying by a multiple of 10 (for example, 6 x 40).
