Scottish Maths Week -P5/4
As part of Scottish Maths week we have been looking at different types of patterns.
Yesterday we looked at number visuals. We had to work out what number the number visual was. We then discussed what patterns we could see.
” I saw two groups of 4 dots and then doubled it” – Jaxon
“I saw two groups of 5 to make 10 then doubled it to see 20″ – Natalie
We then tried to make our own number visuals using the same patterns we found to help us
Today we continued to look at patterns and used Pascal’s triangle. In groups we talked about what patterns we could see straight away.
We then then had to work out what the missing numbers in Pascal’s triangle.
” I think you add the 2 numbers on the end to find each number” – Mackenzie
” The number is found by repeating the pattern – 1, 4, 4, 4, 1″ – Szymon
We worked out together that to find the missing number we have to add the 2 numbers above it.
We can’t wait to continue finding patterns this week Tomorrow we’re going to use Izak9.

P5/4 first 2 weeks
We have had an excellent start to the new school. We have enjoyed exploring our new classroom and getting to know each other a bit better.
We have been talking about what makes a great friend. We discussed different qualities a friend has and looked at which was most the important. For our class we decided that being honest was the most important quality. We also looked at qualities we all have in the class. We were each given a name of a classmate and in secret had to write what we thought they bought to the class. At the end, we all felt amazing as everyone had written lots of nice things about each other.
Im maths we have started looking at different strategies to add and subtract. We are using numberlines to start with and are moving on to partitioning this week. Miss Cooke has set us a range of questions through the “chilli challenge” – this means we can all challenge our learning.
In P.E we have have started to learn different skills in Netball. We focused on chest passes and looked at how to use the space to pass the ball. We have P.E on Wednesday and Thursday
We cant wait to learn more as the term progresses.

What a beautiful day for Sports Day. Well done to our amazing Mrs Crow for organizing such a fun and active day. We started out with whole school races and finished with potted sports. Everyone got involved including our teachers and amazing parents. Well done to house Ballie for the most house points today. I wonder if it will put you in the lead now?
