P5A had  a great time learning some new skills in the library this afternoon.  We have been learning about Databases and Spreadsheets and have been using Excel to help us do this.  Today we learned how to interrogate a database to answer a series of questions.  We looked at different methods we could use to locate the data we needed but were all really relieved when we learned how easy the filter functions made this task.  We love a short cut and could see how technology helped make this task so much easier.

Choose at least one of the following activities and complete for  5^th December 2019 when both classes will share their homework with each other.

• Design a game based on addition or subtraction that includes examples of each: written method, mental strategies, language of addition/subtraction.
• William Wallace lived as an outlaw in the Scottish Borders. Design a WANTED poster for William Wallace. Think of the adjectives that would be used by those who would have wanted to capture him.
• In writing we are looking at recount texts. Choose an event that was memorable and write a recount using paragraphs and the structure of title, orientation and sequence of events.
• Find out about what life was like during the time of William Wallace. What were the houses like inside? How did they cook, sleep, and eat? Make a diorama that shows the inside of a house; rich or poor.
• Choose one aspect of life during the Scottish Wars of Independence eg. Clothes, food, houses, weapons and make a PPT that you can share with the rest of the class.

Here is our recount of the games we played on Monday morning. We are learning to write a recount of our experiences or events. We need to remember that a recount has a title, the orientation, the sequence of events and a personal comment.

What special words did we use in our sequence of events to put it in order? Will, our P7 helper last week, told us we could call it chronological order!!

What do we tell our readers in the orientation?

Team Work

On Monday 4th November we played games in the P3 classroom.

First we shared a chair with a partner. Some pairs shared their chairs in amazing ways. Next we did the tangle activity in groups of six. It was quite hard but it felt good when we managed to do it. We sometimes had to step over joined hands or twirl to get untangled. After that we played Eek Zoom in a big circle. Finally we wrote a recount about our experiences.

Everything was fun. Mrs. Thomson was really pleased with how well we worked together.

We had great fun doing some spooky Halloween maths.  We each had a spooky walker which we stuck to the window.  We then had to count how many turns it took to get to the bottom of the window and double our answer.

We love our autumn leaf poem in our kitchen – what a great idea! Also love the scavenger hunt idea – Rory and Celeste will love it! Thanks
