P5/6 have had an exciting and happy first couple of weeks back and have enjoyed getting to know our classmates more.

Tickled Pink:

• We enjoyed some outdoor learning in the playground this week. We used different equipment to try and build the biggest structure we could. It was a great STEM activity and we had to think cleverly about the structure and stability due to how windy it was.
• In Maths this week, we were starting to look at shapes. We had a refresher session to remind us of different shape names and discussing the language around shape. We are ready to move onto 3D next week.

 

Green for growth

• We also looked at rounding in Maths this week, some of us were even rounding up to a million! We found it a little difficult to remember when we had to round up and down and will keep working on this.
• We are doing descriptive writing this term and wrote our first piece about the Jungle on Wednesday. We know that in our next piece we need to focus more on describing the setting and using descriptive language to engage our readers rather than writing more imaginatively.

 

Our lead learners for this week are Abi and Ruaridh. They are looking for pencils cleared away, those following the values and following classroom expectations.
