This week in P5 we completed our polar animal reports using word publisher. We also found out how to use the Teams app!

In Maths we investigated how to identify, compare and order decimals. We also found out how to organise data using Pie charts.

In topic we found out more about polar explorers.

In HWB we talked about our new HWB characters, our daily

check-ins and we thought about strategies we could use to manage our emotions.

We also thought about our school values, Kindness, Respect, Honesty and Love and what they meant to us.
