Primary 5 have had a great week on the lead up to the October break!
In Literacy we have continued reading our group readers, enjoying discussions on these and talking about any words we are unsure of that we could clarify. We also continued working on our Clarifying grids from last week. We picked out some super words to clarify!
In Writing this week we had our final Recount piece. This was our assessment piece. We were given the choice to write about an event or a holiday/trip. Here are some of our finished pieces:
In Spelling we completed an interim assessment on the words we have been working on this term. On the whole we scored really well. Mrs Hillan encourages us to continue to practise as much as we can at home as it definitely helps!
In Numeracy this week we have been working on a pre-topic assessment on Division. Here are some of our thoughts:
Chloe – It is similar to your times tables and if you don’t know them it will be hard to do.
Caelan – When we start doing division is starts to get more challenging as you grow up, but you know more.
Sophie C – At first it’s hard but when you start to get used to it, it gets easier.
Iona – It was a bit of a challenge, but once we pushed ourselves it was a bit easier.
Summer – If you want to do division is times a number that’s in sum that will help give you the number at the start.
For IDL we have introduced our new topic of SPACE! We are very excited to get started on this. Here are some of the things that we listed that we would like to find out about:
-Why is Pluto a dwarf planet?
-Can you lie down in space?
-How big is the moon?
-How many stars are there?
-How many people have been in space?
-How many holes are in the moon?
-Why can you find water on the moon?
-Has there ever been a pet on the moon?
-Can you eat food whilst walking on the moon?
We hope everyone has a super October break and stays safe!
