This week in Primary 5 we have been very lucky to start sessions on digital learning with the help of Mrs Buntin. We are beginning by looking at coding. This week we spoke about creating algorithms and we made some up to make BeeBot move to make a chosen digital number by going forward, left, right or backwards:
We are excited to learn more next time! Here are some pictures of us this week:
In Reading we have gone back to revisit our prediction skills. We did these for our group readers this week. Here are some we made:
Sophie C – Fern is going to go back to the barn and Wilbur is going to be missing.
Sophie G – I think that Fern’s mum is going to start believing the stories that Fern has been telling and she will go to the barn and see Wilbur and Charlotte etc all talking.
Erin R – I think that when all the kids go to see the Queen, the castle is going to stink-bombed.
Ariah – I think crickets are going to wake up Wilbur. He is then going to go to Fern’s house and Charlotte is going to go and look for him, then get lost.
Jessica – I think that when Mr Stofflees is finished painting that the tiger is going to come to life.
In Spelling we practised our words by writing them in alphabetical order. This was challenging, especially when some of our words started with the same letter! We also selected some other tasks to help us practise our words.
In Writing we created a new narrative story. This week we took some inspiration from our class novel where one of the characters was briefly taken back in time to when he was born. Then Mrs Hillan showed us part of a story she had created, but this time her character went into the future! We used these stories to then create a plan first, then used this to write our own Adventure in Time stories, remembering that we needed to include a problem and resolution. Please have a look at us hard at work and read some of our stories below:
In Numeracy this week we have continued using our division skills and we have worked hard using the SHM textbooks. One group have looked at dividing by 10, 100 and 1000’s and the other has worked on dividing by 2, 4, 5 and 8.
In topic, we have put our Space topic on hold to do a Scottish Mini topic on The Celts. We have started this week by creating a thought shower together of what we know, what we would like to know and how we can find out. The Blue shows what we already know, the Orange shows what we would like to find out and the Green shows how we might find out:
