Music<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

This week we made music using Boomwhackers. The different sizes represent different pitches. We tapped them on the ground and made a tune using different notes. It was great fun!<\/p>\n

P.E.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

We continued learning about rugby and developed our tackling skills this week.<\/p>\n

Science<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

We learnt about the skeletal system.<\/p>\n

Monika – I enjoyed labelling a skeleton. Some of us even challenged ourselves to use the medical names of the bones.<\/p>\n

Lacey – I was surprised about how many bones there were in my hand! I thought there was only one!<\/p>\n

Keris – I learnt that each forearm has 2 bones!<\/p>\n

Georgie – I was surprised to learn how easily a dinosaur’s bones could break.<\/p>\n

Mason – I couldn’t believe that giraffes have the same number of bones as humans!<\/p>\n

Numeracy<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

We have been practising our mental strategies in Number Talks and we are now concentrating on our subtraction skills.<\/p>\n

Maths<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

We are much more familiar with the concept of time and this week used timelines to help add and subtract time.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Our next steps will be to answer questions about timetables.<\/p>\n

Literacy<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

We used various strategies to work out the meaning of unknown words in group reading.<\/p>\n

When writing we practised creating a text from the perspective of a character in our group novel. In pairs we wrote what wish that character would like to receive and how it would effect their life.<\/p>\n

Participation Friday<\/strong><\/p>\n

We are planning to hold a party for the residents at nearby Restondene.<\/p>\n

We all have different responsibilities and are undertaking different tasks in preparation for the event.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Lewis wrote a formal letter to Mrs Wood asking her to help us prepare some food.<\/p>\n

After School Clubs<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Bella – I enjoyed Taekwondo; learning about the scissor kick was fun.<\/p>\n

A Gentle Reminder !<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Some children have still not returned the first reading books they were given at the start of P5. When they are finished and have been returned a new book can be given.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
