Our learning highlights in Primary 5/6 this week are:

• Researching renewable energy and fossil fuels because it’s really interesting to learn about and we’re keen to find out more
• We enjoyed learning about measuring weight in Maths because it’s something we could use to help at home for baking or cooking
• We have enjoyed our reading tasks in school and at home and the different books that we get the chance to read as we can find out new things through our reading tasks
• We enjoyed our persuasive writing task on why we should look after our world because we could concentrate completely on a detailed task and get in flow
• We enjoyed our class novel, “Where the World Turns Wild”, this week because the story was really exciting and interesting

This week some of us thought that these were tricky tasks:

• Some of us found Maths a bit tricky where we had to decide whether we were adding, subtracting or dividing the weights in our word problems and also deciding whether to do the calculations mentally or written
• Some us found our spelling a bit tricky this week because the sound that we were working on (“ough”) can be said in many different ways and some of the words were quite long
• Practising the more difficult times table for homework was a bit tricky for some of us

The three targets that our Lead Learners set for the class were as follows and these are the people that the lead learners saw demonstrating these targets:

• Being focused on our work in class: Harrison, Rose, Harris Caleb, Chelsea, Lexi, Aaron, Olivia, Paige and Logan
• Being kind in the playground: Lily, Chloe, Isabella, Megan, Levi, Rose, Paige, Jessica, Olivia and Lexi
• Being independent: Logan, Sophie S, Aaron, Coby, Alexis, Sophie A, Lexi, Olivia, Rose, Isabella and Harrison
