Primary 5/6

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

• Working with partners in our Maths work on volume and capacity
• We really enjoyed our group reading discussions this week and exploring the different ideas in the texts that we are reading
• We continued to enjoy our Science task this week where we have been working on researching and presenting information on renewable energy resources and fossil fuels
• Our task for Christmas has been a lot of fun and the children are really looking forward to sharing our work with you after we have filmed next week
• The children really enjoyed our Spanish lesson yesterday and learning the numbers from 1-10 in Spanish and the fun activities that we took part in to help learn them
• We are still loving our class novel, “Where the World Turns Wild”, as the story gets near the end
• We also really enjoyed our Christmas lunch yesterday!

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

• Learning about Volume and Capacity was a little tricky at times and we worked hard to learn how to convert between millilitres and litres and how to calculate capacity of solid shapes, in particular cubes and cuboids
• Some us found our spelling a bit tricky this week because it was a review week and therefore a mixture of patterns and some of the trickiest words that we have learned over the last couple of months
• Some of the children know that they still have to keep working hard on completing tasks in the time they have been given by staying focused for longer

Our Lead Learners in Primary 5/6 this week were Rose and Levi. They were assisted by last week’s Lead Learners, Isabella and Aaron. The three targets that our Lead Learners set for the class were as follows:

• Looking out for people that are hurt or needing help
• Taking care of our classroom and school resources
• Completing our learning tasks in full detail

The Lead Learners and their assistants spotted lots of children in the class meeting the targets. Lots of boys and girls were seen taking care of our resources and some of our children also managed to meet the first and third targets but they were a little more difficult to achieve.

Well done Primary 5/6 on another fantastic week.
