Hi everyone!
This has been a great week in p5d.
Pupil of the week – Shaun H
MVP – Josh C
We are beginning our new topic Scottish Wars of Independence.
Here are a few facts we have learned already –
1314 was the Battle of Bannockburn – Sam
Margaret Maid of Norway was the grandaughter of King Alexander III -Sasha
The Battle of Falkirk was in 1298 – Jordan
We had a super time when Daniel Duggan from Infectious Grooves visited our class. We learned all about the new drums that we have in school and had a great workshop.
We did body rhythm exercises to warm up.
Here we are learning to play a polyrhythm – that’s when you play one rhythm over another.
Maths-
Loop Card update – We have a new record !!!! 1 minute 6 seconds and we are ecstatic ! Mr Welsh you need to pay us a visit and see how good we are.
Language –
We have had great fun drawing pictures of Gangsta Granny and writing about the kind of character we think she has. We are a little sad that we are almost at the end of the book.
Surprise of the week – The class teacher of P5 Falla Hill commented on last weeks blog post!!
I’d love to see your loop cards in maths – how about tomorrow just before I take your class?
Mrs Drummond was very impressed with you all during your drumming workshop – I know that you’re going to be using them lots to help with your learning.
Hello 5d,
I enjoyed talking to you about your reading work on Billionaire Boy. I am intrigued by the fact that someone thought I was like Gangsta Granny because I had a tissue up my sleeve. Perhaps if I read the book I’d understand this. You certainly seem to be enjoying reading the books written by David Walliams. Maybe Ratburger next?
