What Have P6 Been Up To During This Short Week?

Numeracy

We practised using informal and formal methods to multiply 2, 3 and 4 digit numbers by 1 digit. In addition we continued to practise recalling our table facts as quickly as possible. We do this in various ways including singing and dance with this link : https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/supermovers/times-table-collection/z4vv6v4

Literacy

We combined our new topic (Natural Disasters) with literacy. We researched various disasters using the internet and non-fiction books and made notes with a partner. Then we created an information report based on our findings and included pictures too.

P.E.

This week we practised our badminton skills.

 

Health

This week we continued thinking about loss. We had various situations such as moving house, falling out with a friend or a pet dying and we had to order them according to which would be the most difficult to deal with. Then we wrote down words to describe how we might feel if we were going through these scenarios. Finally, we talked about the different stages people go through before acceptance of these situations.

Coding

This week we designed and wrote an app that had a loop and a variable.

 

A Short Week in P5

This is just a short week for us this week with us having the Monday holiday and Thursday is an Inservice day for staff.

In Writing this week we worked on our note taking skills to create notes for our next Information report. This week we chose the theme of Animals. Mrs Hillan showed an example someone had written about a Shark and then together we took notes on Mrs Hillan’s choice of a Lion. We then went off on our own to individually take notes on a chosen animal, ready to write about this next week. We had the opportunity to use a laptop if we needed to.

In Numeracy we did our final data and data analysis work. Next week we will go back to looking at money.

In Reading, we continued our class novel. We revisited our reciprocal reading strategy of Questioning and created some open and closed questions for characters in the story.

In topic, we did our final Space presentations about the final planets in our solar system. Our class Space Encyclopedia is going to look amazing!!!

We also introduced our new topic of Dinosaurs!!!! We are excited to learn more about this!

We look forward to working on some new things next week!
