P5 spent a lot of time outside this week!
We have been out for PE this week and have also had outdoor learning.
Lily-Ellen – We looked at the fruit trees we had planted to see how they were getting on.
Sofia – I enjoyed measuring outside in order to work out the volume of different objects.
Topic
We went outside to use chalk and drew different dinosaurs.
Alexis – I was proud of how my dinosaur turned out.
Numeracy
We have been learning how to use the short division method to divide larger numbers – we also call it the bus stop method!
Sara – We use this method for larger numbers.
Today we used the laptops and practised our division facts.
Literacy
We have learnt how to summarise a text and although it was difficult at first we have improved our ability to do this.
We learnt how to write an explanation text this week. This genre is going to be our new focus over the next few weeks.
Science – Floating and Sinking
Bella – It was fun and interesting to see if things float or sink. We learnt that upthrust was the force pushing thing up in water.
Enjoy your week-end everybody!
