Hola from Primary 5A!

Hola!!

Another busy, busy week!

1+2
We are beginning to identify key information from a short predictable conversation and react with words or gestures in Spanish. We worked with the other Primary 5 on Tuesday morning and created a months of the year calendar in Spanish. We are learning songs and rhymes and are showing understanding and enjoyment by listening, joining in and responding in both French and Spanish.

Health and Wellbeing
We have been doing Gymnastics in P.E. Mrs McCartney was so impressed that she came into the hall to see us with Mrs Reid and took photographs. We are recognising when we experience new challenges for learning, we are encouraged and supported to demonstrate our creative ability. We are going to the P5 Handball Festival on December 14th.We are going to be preparing for this festival over the next couple of week in our P.E slots.

Literacy

We are continuing to explore the text, ‘The Amazing Story of Aldolphus Tips’. We are demonstrating our understanding of the text by answering very tricky questions about the text- even coming up with our own!!
We wrote fantastic poems about peace. We were asked to visualise what peace looks like and how we can link peace to our senses. Our poems were very emotional and brought a tear to Mrs McCartney’s eyes!

Maths

We have been looking at mental addition strategies for adding a 2 digit number to the three digit number. We were working with a partner to create a poster demonstrating our chosen strategy. Mrs McCartney told us to make sure that it made sense as we are going to share these with our peers. We are really working on having Growth Mindset in Maths. We are becoming more confident with which calculations are needed and can solve problems involving whole numbers using a range of methods. We are really enjoying sharing my approaches and solutions with others.

Book Fair

The Book Fair was a wonderful success!!! Mrs Manlove worked so, SO hard preparing for all the books for the fair and each class loved going along! Paul Manlove has been a credit to the school and helped his mum out each day! We are so proud of you, Paul! What a responsible citizen!
Christmas Hamper Appeal
Thank you to all who brought in food donations for the Christmas Hamper Appeal! Your support is very much appreciated. Both Primary 5 classes are going to prepare the Christmas bags next week to give to the Day Care Centre.

Christmas Fayre

We are looking forward to our enterprise focus next week and preparing our ‘Snowman Soup’ for the Christmas Fayre. We are very lucky to have parents coming in next week to help us with this and the Christmas Hamper Appeal.
Happy weekend everyone!

Adios!
