This week in Primary 5 we have had some more time on Digital Learning:
We were doing some more coding and we discussed what we wanted to be when we are older – Ariah
With coding we did stuff with a snail and a spider. The spider could pick up the snail and go back to where its’ web was – Gracie
We did something called Stepping through Space, where you had to guide a rocket to Planet Earth whilst avoiding asteroids and other planets – Erin R
In spelling this week we had the choice of creating a story using our spelling words or picking one of the spelling tasks we have. Some of us used pyramid writing, some rainbow writing and some of us practised with a partner using noughts and crosses or writing our words on our partner’s back etc.
In Numeracy we have been looking at money. Mrs Hillan wanted to see what we were able to do so far and what we already knew. We did some activities where we had to make amounts of money using various coins and counting up amounts of money. This required us to use our coin recognition skills as well as our addition skills.
In Writing we began our Descriptive writing block. This links in with our Narrative writing so we had a good place to start. We began this week by looking at the big book example which was all about the moon. We discussed each section and then wrote our own versions of the description, using our own words and phrases.
In topic this week we had a go at creating some Celtic designs and thought about incorporating these into a piece of jewellery.
We also started creating our Celtic Roundhouses. We chose the materials we wanted to use and how best to tackle the task. In each group we had a facilitator to oversee the whole task, a time keeper to watch the time that we had to complete the task, a materials manager who collected all the materials we needed, and a quality checker who checked how our roundhouse was looking as we went along. We will finish these next week!
We look forward to some more fun learning next week!
