In Primary 5 we have started our new topic, The Victorians, and we are really looking forward to learning more. We have been learning about Queen Victoria’s life and reign, and we wrote fact files about her life. We also worked in pairs to make a timeline photo album of the main events in her life. In maths we are continuing to learn about time and have been calculating durations. We worked at different stations to work out time problems. For literacy we are working on answering different types of questions about her reading books and we have also written fact file all about reading. We got to research facts about reading and about our favourite children’s authors. At home we will be creating a presentation about a Victorian invention to present in front of the class. We are working on our listening and talking skills to help us with our confidence when speaking to the whole class. Here are some of our highlights.
