Today we went out to the Quad to practice our times tables.  We worked in pairs on our trickiest table and had to check each others work.

Then we thought about the symmetry in butterflies and draw some and took pictures to show our work.

We have been learning how to place fractions on a number line. We started placing in halves then moved onto quarters. Some of us managed in thirds.

Who says you can’t get lots done when it is a short week? Primary 5/4 say you can 🙂

We have been busy with the following:-

– Continuing to build on our knowledge of Explanation texts.

– Continuing to explore Measurement where we have been measuring both in and outside of the classroom (looking at cm, mm and metres so far!)

– We have started learning about our new learning context (Oceans and Climate Change).

– We have been using our mapping skills to identify the location of the continents and the oceans.

– In Science, we  started looking at The Water Cycle which we found really interesting.

– Finally, one of the pupils became our teacher and taught us some Spanish numbers (what a treat with her own PowerPoint too)

Phew – it sure has been busy but lots of fun and enjoyable learning.

Have a lovely Thursday off, Miss Baldacci.

Please have a look at the pictures to see what we have been up to this week 🙂

We have started learning about a new type of writing – an explanation text. We have been learning about what features must be included to make this writing successful. We have also started looking at Measure for Maths. We have started by looking at all the different ways we can measure something and have started making conversions between measurements.

For P.E, we have been learning the importance of teamwork through rounders – we have been enjoying it!

I hope all the families from primary 5/4 have a relaxing and safe long weekend,

Miss Baldacci.

Have a look at the fun we had last week during our silent disco!
