This week we have continued with our fantastic learning in Primary 5! We have completed some other assessments in Spelling and Reading and have started some in Numeracy and Maths. These will continue next week.
In Reading we have started our Novel Study. Our book is Ratburger by David Walliams. We started off by making predictions of what we thought the book was going to be about based purely on the title. Here are some of our thoughts:
Erin R – It will be about a place where rats are cooked or the hamburger pates are made from rats.
Ariah – It’s going to be about a man who goes into a restaurant every day and order a burger and puts a rat on it and eats it.
Daniel – It is going to be about a rapper who loves burgers.
Ciaran – It is going to be about a cook who makes a burger with a rat inside.
Then Mrs Hillan read the blurb and asked us again. Here are some other predictions:
Caelan – It is going to be about a really hungry man who puts anything on a burger.
Holly – It will be about a man who wants to cook someone’s rat.
Lewis D – It will be about a man who looks for a rat in a restaurant to put in a burger.
Gracie – It will be about a man who cooks a rat and brings it to the wrapping station and makes the rat dance.
Ariah – It will be about a the girl feeding a rat burger to the bully.
We started a new writing genre this week too – Recount. This is where we have to retell and evaluate events and experiences. We went through an example with Mrs Hillan, and then created our own recounts of our first day back at school.
We look forward to seeing what next week brings!
