We have had a very busy start to the new term.

In literacy in P5 we have been learning how to add suffixes to words. We have been learning that there are different rules we need to use depending of the ending letters of a word.

In numeracy we have been using learning about time. We have learned how to use timetables and calendars to help us to plan events.

Our topic for learning this term is Animal Kingdom. So far we have learned that vertebrates are animals with a backbone and invertebrates are animals without a backbone. We have learned there are 5 vertebrate groups and have been able to sort animals into these groups according to their characteristics.

We are also planning individual research projects linked to vertebrates. We are using ICT and literacy skills to help us to create our project.
