Although it’s been a short week we have still been working very hard. Together with P4 we managed to write our Assembly script for our joint P4 & P5/4 Assembly on Friday 24th May.
We have also been learning about Islam this week together with P5 and P4.
We continued work on Fractions and looked at fractions as a set, equivalent fractions and quarters.
Have a lovely weekend and I’ll see you all on Monday.

This week we have been busy learning about mini-beasts.
We went on a mini-beast hunt with Miss Hoey. We founds lots of different mini-beasts…..worms , slugs, snails, woodlice, caterpillars, flies, bees, spiders and even a millipede!
We learned that mini-beasts don’t have a backbone or a skeleton in their bodies. We also learned that butterflies taste food with their feet – imagine that!!!!
Insects have six legs but did you know that spiders have 8 legs?
We had to look under logs, under stones and in the trees to find some of them.
Next week we will be learning about one mini beast that we found on our hunt! I wonder what it will be?…..
