Primary 5 News !

Hello,

We have had a busy and fun week.

We started the week by celebrating Chinese New Year through different art activities.  There were fantastic moving dragons made and beautiful pastel drawings of tigers.

In reading, we have continued to make and change our predictions as we read more of ‘Christophe’s Story’.  Today we had a go at ‘hot seating’ where we have a chance to turn into the character and the rest of the class ask us questions.  Well done to those who volunteered to have a go, they did really well!

In maths we have continued to explore more about fractions.  We have been using the cuisenaire rods to represent different fractions.  They have helped us to understand that the size of the fraction is smaller when the denominator is bigger as it has been split into more parts.  We are becoming more confident in using the language: halves, quarters, thirds, fifths, sixths, etc.  After watching a story called ‘The Lion’s Share’, we had a go at solving some fraction problems from the story.  During this task we even started talking about sixty fourths and even smaller fractions! Take a look at some of our pictorial problem solving:

Hello from P5!

After exploring Scots language in Reading and some of the unusual characters from ‘Blethertoon Braes’, Primary 5 have started to create their own character.  They have a designed their character using a range of materials and made a plan for a descriptive piece.  We will be trying hard to use lots of Scots language when we finish the writing next week.    

In P.E we have continued to improve our fitness with a range of strength and stamina exercises.  Next week we will be starting to create our own fitness routine in groups using music.

In Maths, we are becoming more confident counting in fractions.  We are also using arrays and skip counting to solve multiplication problems.

We were introduced to our new reading book ‘Christophe’s Story’  after making a prediction using only the title and the front cover.  We have now discovered that that the main character is from Rwanda.  Today, we learned a little more about life in Rwanda to help us understand where he has come from.

We hope everyone has a nice weekend!

Another hello fae Primary 5!

In maths, we have been recapping on what we know about fractions. We discussed the different vocabulary used in fractions and started to create different fractions of shapes using paper. We had a go at naming the fractions in pictorial bars.
Our French focus is classroom objects. It would be fantastic if this could be practised at home too!
Je voudrais …
un crayon
une regle
un stylo
les ciseaux
… s’il te plait
In P.E, we challenged ourselves in the Beep Test to assess our levels of fitness before we start a block of fitness learning.Over the next few weeks we will be working on a range of circuits to improve our CV fitness and strength.  Our teacher was so impressed by our determination and effort. I think everyone will sleep well tonight!

P5 Weekly Blog

This week we have started our Scotland topic. We have been learning Scots words through poetry. We used our knowledge of layout, alliteration, rhyme and Scots language to compose our own Scots poems.

We have also been learning about Robert Burns. We designed our own tartans to start our Burns celebrations. Head over to our Teams Channel for some additional photos of our wonderful work!

Our homework is to learn our Scots Poems for Burns Day. We have been learning ‘Listen Tae the Teacher’ by Nancy Nicholson and ‘Fed Up’ – by Janet Paisley. These have been sent home this week to practice.
