We all enjoyed our October holidays, but it is good to be back. We got to share our experiences with each other this week. It was lovely to hear what everyone had been up to. We are all now ready for Term 2, we have had a look at our targets that we had set in Term 1 and we have now set ourselves some new and achievable targets for Term 2 focusing on Numeracy, Literacy and one non- academic target.
In Math this week we have been continuing taking part in ‘Number Talks’ we have been doing multiplication and using strings of problems and using various strategies to help us find the answer. We are becoming more confident in ‘Number Talks’ even when Mrs Matos gives us some challenging problems to solve.
This week we had PE with Mrs Reid, we got to play some basketball, it was plenty of fun!
The highlight of the week for Primary 5 was the visit from Tom and Geoff, two war veterans that took the time to come and talk to all the Primary 5s about life during the war. They were very interesting and even brought along with them a war watch and some old photos. Their visit and talk will really help us with our documentaries that we will be filming.
We have also been busy this week promoting the Shoebox Appeal to the school. Please remember that this needs to be in by the 5th November.
Some things to remember this week: Linlithgow Peel trip is on Monday and we are filming our Remembrance documentaries on Thursday 4th November – please remember to bring anything you wish to be in your documentary.
Looking forward to another week.
P5B and Mrs Matos
