Science/Health & Wellbeing
This week we have been learning about animal adaptation and how certain features help animals survive in their habitat. For example a polar bear has hairy paws to stop slipping on ice. They also have tiny ears to stop their eardrums from freezing. We worked in group sto create a booklet about certain animals – here are a few photos.
Literacy
As we enjoyed creating our booklets we decided to write a short report about our animal. We had to include 2 paragraphs. The first paragraph included 3 facts about the animal and the second paragraph included 3 facts about the animal’s adaptations. We then read a partner’s work and gave peer feedback.
Numeracy
This week we started a new maths topic – addition and subtraction. We have all been reminding ourselves of the number bonds to 20 by playing games. We have also been adding on lots of ten to bigger numbers using mental strategies and the empty number line strategy. We have also been able to take away lots of ten from bigger numbers. We know that we have to start at the beginning of the line for adding questions and the end of the line for subtraction questions. Next week we will continue to work on this.
Didbook
We were very excited this morning when we got to start using Didbook. Didbook is like a reflection diary but stored online (securely). We can update our Didbook diaries from home by visiting my.didbook.com and using our school email address to log in. Miss Anderson is already looking forward to reading and commenting on our entries.
That’s all from us – hope you all have a lovely weekend.
Miss Anderson and P5 🙂

Dear Miss Speirs,
We could come to show you our booklets tomorrow if that suits you.

Another very busy week in P5! I really enjoyed joining you for your science lesson this week and would love to see your finished booklets.
