Another Good Week for Primary 5

This week we have had another successful week in Primary 5! Here are a few of our highlights…

Numeracy

This week we have continued building up our maths journals – we now have 4 pages complete! We have been learning about Place Value,  and have been able to include an interactive Place Value pockets, a Place Value chart, explanations of key terms as well as digit, expanded and written versions of numbers. Now that we have all this information recorded in our journals we can always find the answer to Place Value questions (especially if we are stuck).

Literacy

As well as our normal literacy work this week, we have also worked hard to learn Scots poetry. Chloe and Sophie were the class winners who got to recite their poems for the whole school (and visitors!). Jordan and Emma C were also finalists, so well done to the four of you.

Health and Wellbeing

This week has been filled with Health and Wellbeing learning. We have been developing our handball skills in P.E. and are now all able to use a good chest pass and a good bounce pass. Accuracy with passing is improving every lesson!

We have also been learning a bit more about growing up, and what we can expect to happen when we grow up. We understand that there are some changes that we can choose to make, and others that just happen. This morning we learned about life cycles. Here are a few examples of typical life cycle lengths;

– Poppies – a few weeks

– Frogs – a few years

– Humans – as long as 100 years.

We had to learn a few key words; metamorphosis being one. Any pupil (P1-7) who can comment with a good definition of metamorphosis will win a prize from Miss Anderson’s prize box.

Next week we will continue to learn about growing up and will be focussing on our feelings.

A few of us managed to log into Glow and look at the J2E tools. These tools allow us to create animations, graphs and pieces of writing (plus much more). If you know your Glow username and password you should check them out!

Hope you all have a lovely weekend!
