It has been a week of remembrance in P5B. We have taken the time this week to remember the soldiers that had fought and lost their life in the war. To help us understand more about what it was like to have lost someone during the war, Mr Robison (Ben’s dad), took the time to come along talk to the Primary 5s about world war 1 and world war 2, he shared his stories about his granddad (Ben’s great granddad), who they sadly lost in the first world war. Mr Robison shared photographs and medals to show the Primary 5s how fallen soldiers are honoured and remembered. Thank you very much Mr Robison , you left the primary 5s with a lot of thought and appreciation for what goes on during the war.
We have also been very busy writing thank you letters to all the guests that came along and shared their stories about war and the part that they had during the wars. We learnt the difference of a formal and informal letter, and the importance of having good grammar, punctuation and vocabulary when writing letters.
We got very creative this week, making our own poppies for remembrance day, on Friday the 11th November. We really enjoyed getting creative and making something that represents something so important to us.
We are continuing with number talks in Math, this week our number talk focus was on addition. We are becoming more confident with number talks!
The Primary 5s have been apart of quality dinning during lunch. Quality dinning gives us the opportunity to develop our communication skills. This week we had quality dinning with Primary4s, Primary 6 and Primary 7.
A news letter has gone that Primary 5 are collecting non perishable foods for St Michael Day care centre. We are collecting food to make Christmas hampers. Please support us!
Have a great weekend!
Thank you so much Mrs Matos! I am so impressed with the work that P5B are doing. Thank you to Mr Robinson for coming in. We welcome any parents, carers or family members who have something interesting to contribute to our children. X
