Primary 5b evaluated their learning from the week.  This is what they had to say…

We had a great time learning all about 1960s fashion this week. We know that there were 3 periods (early, mid & late) and that there were mods and rockers. We are working in groups to design our own clothing line and make a mood board to show our ideas. Our group are looking at early/mid clothes where the men had no collars on their jackets and woman wore woolen suits with matching hats. (Molly)

Our Thinking Thursday challenge this week was really good fun and a great laugh. We were connected to a partner with a piece of string and had to get disconnected – it took ages! We were going through each other’s legs, arms and wrapped up in some very unusual positions. Mrs B-C eventually showed us how to escape by putting a loop of string from our partner through our opposite wrist and twiddling it out. I had to help Grace because she couldn’t get it – she did eventually. (Shaelyn)

We were practicing our passing skills in handball this week. We were in teams and had to play against each other to score a goal. Finlay, Piotr and Blake were great goalies for us! I found it great fun and fairly easy, but if you didn’t spread out and pass quickly, the other team would block you. (Adrian)

Each week we evaluate our learning – this week we decided to try and beat the expert.  One of us sat on the chair at the front of the class, put on the special hat and shared our knowledge and understanding of a subject/topic given by our teacher – we had one minute to do it!!  Our classmates then got the chance to quiz us further to confirm what we knew.  It’s a great way to reflect on what we have learned and make connections with different curriculum areas and the everyday life.

This week Klaudia was the expert on the life cycle, Lukazs – making leaflets and Oliver shared all his knowledge of acrostic poetry.

Very clever guys we have in our class!
