This week in Primary 5 we have been given our new home learning sheet for the month along with our first week’s spelling words. We have been practising these in class and should continue to do so at home.
We have now been given our group reading books. We have started reading these in class and have made predictions on these already, saying what we think the book might be about and why we think this.
We have continued our Recount writing genre and this week we wrote a recount of our birthdays. Mrs Hillan went through each stage with us, sharing information on her birthday recount, and this gave us ideas for our’s. Read some of these below :
In Numeracy we did a number talk on addition, initially looking at 2 digit numbers, then we were given a 4 digit number to try. We could see that no matter how large the number was, the process was just the same! We also got an opportunity to look at some online numeracy games this week.
For our Novel Study this week, we created images of all the main characters for our display. We used what we had read to help us decide what they would look like.
We also created some questions in groups for some of the main characters in the story. We then used these to do a ‘hot-seating’ activity, where one of us pretended to be a character from the book and the rest of us took turns asking our questions. The person in the role of the character had to use their knowledge of them from the story to answer the questions as they may do. We all got a turn of being a character and asking questions.
Here are some photos of us creating our questions:

We look forward to another week of learning next week!
