Visit My Class

We recently held a Visit My Class event, giving families the opportunity to meet their child’s new teacher and to find out about learning and expectations in their class. Thank you to everyone who came along.

If you were unable to attend, you will find the presentations at the links below:

Our House and Vice Captains gathered feedback from families who attended the event by using a form on Glow.

Some of the feedback included:

Maths Week in P5

LI: Large numbers

SC:

I can… say large numbers

I can…. name the places of place value up to 6 digits

I can…. sequence numbers

This week for maths week we have been playing a variety of games to help us work with large numbers. We played ‘Biggest Roller’ where we used the dice to roll 6 digit numbers. We also played ‘Sequencing Numbers’ where we had 5 4digit numbers and we had to order them from the smallest number to the largest number. We used the dice to play’ Roll and Stick’ where we rolled three digit numbers. Then we had to name the correct place value for each of the numbers, then we added the numbers so we could practice carrying correctly. We applied these skills in our topic when we sequenced large numbers on a timeline to life in a Burgh in the 16th Century.

 

Library Club – 06/09/18

Last week at Library Club we were exploring Islands. We thought about what we would take with us to our desert island and had lots of great ideas from compasses and maps to books and food.

Moira read Katie Morag and the New Pier by Mairi Hedderwick. We learnt that Katie Morag lives of the Isle of Struay.

Have a look at the rafts we made, decorated and named, ready to sail off on our own island adventures.
