P5d

This has been another busy week in P5d.

We have been learning to calculate and represent a fraction as a percentage. We were all quite confident about this task as we had already touched on this earlier in the term when Mrs Drummond took a ‘backwards’ approach to teaching fractions, percentages and decimals. We all agree it has helped!

We have also been learning how to interpret information displayed on a graph or table. The tricky part of this was reading the question properly and being able to use a key.  Mrs Drummond agrees that we are all very good at this now!

We have been looking back on the different things we have learned in language over the year. We were then given a passage to up-level. Mrs Drummond asked us to impress her by using personification, similes, adjectives, adverbs, connectives and interesting words. We were all successful!

On Thursday we recorded information about the lifecycle of the plants that we have been growing in class. We had to sequence the process the plants have gone through and state why we think our plants did or did not grow well. We also had to discuss the plants we experimented with. Some had no water, some had no light and some were deprived of both. Growing the plants and experimenting this way really helped us to understand about photosynthesis because when we just talked about it we found it difficult to understand.

This week we had our Golden Club event in school and those of us who attended had a fantastic time!

This time next week …….

  1. I’ve been hearing all about personification at home. Such a cool tool to use to make your writing more interesting!
