This week in Primary 5 we continued our digital learning block. We started off this week by looking at our internet user agreement and agreed on how we should behave online and the consequences for not behaving appropriately. We then continued our coding work.
In Spelling this week we tried a new technique for practising our words. Mrs Hillan gave us some art straws, and we used these to spell out our words!
In reading we have returned to looking at our reciprocal reading skills in Clarifying. We selected words from our text to guess their meaning, then try to work out their meaning using clues from the text. Here are some good words we picked:
barnicles
carcass
paraffin
unhesitatingly
distinctive
ordinary
liberty
vague
In writing this week we created our second Descriptive piece, this time on a person we know. Mrs Hillan showed us an example that someone had written about their mum and she showed us an example she had written about her dad. We then used these to inspire us to write about one of the people who we love.
We had our second Green Gym session this week. One group helped to repair and secure a willow den in our field, and the second group created a burrow to hopefully help the bees to create a nest.
In topic this week we returned to our Space topic and in groups we created posters on individual planets. These posters will be presented in front of the class and then put into a whole class encyclopaedia. Here we are working on these:
