We have had another busy week in Primary 5 and we started it off with a very fun day of Digital Learning on Monday! We worked in 3 groups – one on typing skills, one on making Stop Frame Animation and one on coding. We discussed how these skills will be useful for us not only now, but in the future when we are looking to get jobs. Most, if not all jobs nowadays, use digital technologies.
Here are our thoughts on our Digital Learning Day:
Chloe – It was fun playing the typing game and doing the coding.
Ryley – I enjoyed when we were doing the typing skills as we could figure out without looking, where to put our fingers.
Giullia – It was really exciting to do the lego for the coding.
Erin R – When I did the stop frame animation it was very fun, and when I did the coding on the ipad, it was also very fun!
Ciaran – It was really good to know how to type fast as you can get to different websites on the internet faster.
Sophie C – I enjoyed doing the coding with the lego with Rihanna. It didn’t really work out but it was still fun!
Summer – It was really good for a change instead of doing maths, reading etc.
Kullyn – It was really exciting when we were doing the stop frame animation.
Here are some photos of us:
In Numeracy we have been back looking at our Division skills. We have been trying hard to remember that we can use our knowledge of our times tables to help with this.
In Literacy this week, we have written a letter to Santa to persuade him to visit us this year with some presents. Here were some of the reasons we gave:
Ciaran – I said I was kind at school.
Erin P – I said that I make my bed every morning.
Ryley – I said I have been feeding my dog every single day.
Chloe – I said I do the dishes every day.
Ariah – I said that I take my dog out every second day of the week.
In topic we have continued our research. Here are some pictures showing our International Space Station drawings and our research so far on what we have learned from space explorations:
We are looking forward to next week when we will have more learning, but also our Silent Disco! We must remember to practise for Deans Got Talent if we want to audition for this on the 17th!
