P4/5’s second week back!

In maths we were doing number talks. We were using different strategies to help us improve our mental maths. This week we have been working on partitioning numbers and adding them up.

We have learned that a prefix is two or three letters that are added to the start of a word that make things mean the opposite of the word. P4s have been enjoying learning new words and thinking hard about how we break words into sounds.

We have learned a bit about how our brains work and that we can have a fixed mindset or a growth mindset. Everyone enjoyed the Ormie video. We will all be working hard to learn new things with a positive attitude.
