We have had another busy week in Primary 5.
In Numeracy we have continued looking at Place Value. Some of us were looking at numbers that contained hundreds and thousands and some of us were looking at numbers that contained tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands.
When some of us were finished, we offered peer support to anyone who was finding it tricky. We played some good Place Value games online too!
In Literacy we have been practising our spelling words with some silly sentences and some partner work. We wrote our spelling words on our partner’s back and they had to guess which word it was! It is important we practise these at home too.
In Reading we have started looking at the Reciprocal Reading strategy of Summarising. We looked at pieces together and discussed some key questions relating to each piece of text. These questions helped us to get the main ideas to then create a summary.
In Writing we have continued working on our new genre of Persuasive Writing. We wrote pieces this week about the importance of fundraising. This was relevant to us at the moment as Poppies are on sale for Remembrance Day and it will soon be Children in Need. Here are some of our pieces:
We are looking forward to more new learning next week!
