We created our Pixton Avatars this week and we can’t wait to get started. Some of us have already started to write our own Place Value comics…coming soon!

We also explored the importance of social skills and how we control our emotions, linking these to the Zones of Regulation. We are going to explore our own social targets and strategies for each of the zones. Some of us were thinking about what makes a good friend and our own strengths as a friend.

We came up with some powerful adjectives: empathetic, kind, honest, trustworthy, calm, supportive, mature, funny, respectful, positive, social, helpful and more!

We discussed and linked these skills and strengths to our applications for the Pupil Leadership Group.

Good luck to everyone who applies!

 

 

Primary 5A have had a busy couple of weeks settling into our new classroom and revisiting our school rules and values. We are in the process of creating our class charter (it’s going to bee good!) and have been reminding ourselves about the 4 capacities and skills for learning. We also thought about our goals and aspirations for the new school year.

We had our first visit to the school library and have been enjoying having the opportunity to read or listen to stories in class.

We have begun revising place value and have explored the numeracy materials in class to help us demonstrate our understanding.

On Friday, we joined up with P5B to choose our IDL context for this term. The outcome we will be exploring is all about the impact we have on the planet and how we can lead more sustainable lives – there was a clear winner and we are all very excited about exploring The Rainforest and showcasing our learning.
