Hello from P5!

We have had a very busy week in P5.  We had lots of suggestions for our Two Stars and a Wish!

Star 1:

Writing Haiku’s as part of National Poetry Day (6th October).  We came up with some fabulous Haiku’s.  Ask your child to explain what a Haiku is and share their’s with you!

Star 2: 

Playing our own games in PE.  Mrs Lloyd set us a challenge to create a game, including rules.  In PE this week we played two of the games.  Well done to Darren, Finlay, Zander and Mark (game 1) and Emma, Lauren and Sophie (game 2) for creating such fun games!

Wish:

Our class wish for next week is to have another chance to use Incredibox!  This is an ICT application to create pieces of music. This week we focused on beat and tempo.

Class Awards

Star of the week:  Imogem Henderson:    Lauren nominated Imogem for always being ready to learn!

Class lottery winner: Zander Park

Well done to you both.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend!

I have attached below a document on Snapchat.  This is one that some of our children use – however they don’t see the dangers that this can have introduce them to.  As always, social media, whatever type, needs to be used wisely.

Happy Friday from P5! 🙂

Star number 1 – Mad Maths Minutes 

This is our new daily challenge to develop our mental maths and recall speed.

Star number 2 – Oral communication activity

As part of our Communication lessons we were given a challenge that tested not only our ability to give clear and concise instructions but also our listening skills.

Our wish for next week – Number Talks

We are sharing the strategies we use during our maths lessons.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend from Miss Preston and P5!

Our assemblies are planned for the whole year – click on the link below to see.

Many thanks to all those who brought gold coins to school – including the Community Wing.  Allison Barr – Jak’s mum – came to school this morning to tell the children about what the charity will do with the fantastic amount of £345 – well done everyone!

The photos show Hannah Sloan and Freya MacDonald from the Rights Respecting Group who went round the school to collect the donations.  Also the whole of the Rights Respecting group are holding all the notes that were in Team Jak’s envelope.  Allison was really delighted and says Team Jak will use the money wisely.
