Hi to everyone in P5. It’s been lovely getting to know you all this week and hopefully we’ve got a hardworking term ahead of us. I’ll be using this blog to keep everyone up to date with homework and events. If there is anything you would like to see included, let me know.

This week – Please Remember…

• Our school trip is next week. Remember to bring in your money and permission slip asap.
• Gym days are Tuesdays and Fridays. Remember your P.E. kit.
• It’s getting quite hot in school now, you might want to bring in some water to drink in class.

What we’re doing.

Maths:

• Squares and Triangles will be doing check ups before we move on to trickier number work.
• Circles will be working on rounding and working with numbers up to 10 000.
• We will be trying to improve our mental agility. This week we’re focusing on doubling numbers, times tables, adding and subtracting. (See sheet)

Language:

• We’ll be looking at how to self assess our writing so we can improve our redrafting skills and the quality of our work.
• We’ll be continuing to read The Demon Dentist.
• The Reciprocal Reading strategies we’ll be looking at this week will be Visualising and Inferring.
• We’ll look at nouns and this will become part of our spelling rules for next week.
• You will begin to perform your solo talks on your books.

Topic:

• Our topic this term is going to be Puppets. Hopefully we’ll start this soon. In the meantime, feel free to bring in any puppets or props you have.
