Literacy

In reading this week, we continued to focus on our clarifying skills. We use our clarifying skills to help us find the meaning of words we don’t know yet. We read around the word to help us clarify the meaning. We can also think of words that sound similar.

In writing this week, we wrote our assessment piece of recount writing. We wrote a recount of our morning routine at school. We have to use the correct structure and use our core writing targets.

Numeracy

In numeracy this week, we were looking at number sequences. We were given a number sequence that had some missing numbers. We had to use our problem skills to solve rule of the sequence and fill in the missing numbers. There were different strategies that we could use to help us. Some of us used our fingers and some of us used a 100 square to calculate the missing numbers.

IDL

This week, we were looking at plastic pollution and the environmental impacts of plastics. We completed a reading comprehension task about plastic pollution. We had to use our skim reading skills to help us answer the questions.

We were also learning about how recycling can be one of the possible solutions to help reduce plastic pollution. We had to think things we could do in school to help protect the environment. In school, we can put paper or cardboard in blue recycling bin. Items such as laminating sheets and paper towels cannot be recycled, therefore, we must put them in the black waste bin.

This week we have been busy writing a Recount about our PE Lesson.  We practiced our clarifying skills and began our questioning task for reciprocal reading.

For Health and Well- being, we investigated what assumptions mean and the consequences it might have.  We practiced tap ups and serve skills in Tennis.

For IDL, we made Roman Bathhouses after we explored the ways in which they were used.  We created patterns to make mosaic art as well.

For Numeracy, we have been learning to find half and quarter of a number.  We also revised on our chimney sums.

Have a lovely October Break everyone!

Every Friday P.5 is working with Megan on our song for the performance at Howden Park. We are working really hard and progress is excellent!
