In P5B we are continuing to try out lots of different reading strategies and are continuing to learn about the structure of a recount piece of writing.
In numeracy we are continuing to work on our mental/written multiplication and division strategies. We have been looking at what fractions look like in everyday life and how they are shown on a number line depending on their size.
As part of our health and wellbeing we have been learning about healthy lifestyles. As part of this topic, we explored the way food is advertised and how this effects the choices we make. We worked in teams to create our own food brand/cafe and thought about using different advertising techniques to persuade people to buy our product. We look forward to sharing our creativity and ideas with the rest of the class next week!
We have been looking at photos from WW1 and discussing what has been happening in them as part of our War Years topic. One picture showed us 3 Scottish soldiers working together as a team and we look forward to finding out about Scotlands role in the war! On Thursday we enjoyed learning more about the Triple Entente and the Triple Alliance agreements. This led to a great discussion about what other countries worked with and against each other during this war.
