Primary 7b Review of the Week

Primary 5 have been busy making their Christmas Tree decoration craft for the Christmas Fair on Tuesday 4th December 2018.   Remember to come along.

We made these fantastic rockets for homework.  They are amazing.

P3 have been finding out about our senses and asking the question; How reliable are our senses?

We looked at optical illusions and watched a clip where our sense of sight was tricked when we were focusing on counting the basket ball passes.

We listened to musical instruments with our eyes closed. Could we tell what instrument it was? Could we hear where the sound was coming from when the instrument stopped playing?

Today we used our sense of smell to identify smells. Was it easier to tell what the smell was with eyes open or closed?

We have been learning about the human body. Ask us to name some bones and show you where they are.

Please have a look at who you have been paired with this week to provide feedback on last week’s Literacy homework.

Think about what your partner has achieved and what they could do to improve their work for next time.

Using ‘2 Stars and a Wish’ would be a helpful way to structure your feedback.

In P5/4 today we used our knowledge of the 3 and 7 times tables to solve the following problem.

On the planet Vuv there are two sorts of creatures. The Zios have 3 legs and the Zepts have 7 legs.

The great planetary explorer Nico, who first discovered the planet, saw a crowd of Zios and Zepts. He managed to see that there was more than one of each kind of creature before they saw him. Suddenly they all rolled over onto their backs and put their legs in the air.

He counted 52 legs. How many Zios and how many Zepts were there?
Do you think there are any different answers?

We worked in pairs using different ways of recording and thinking about the problem. Some of us created legs with plasticine while others used numbers facts. We shared our solutions and methods with the whole class.
