This week in P5B we have had an active fun filled week. Starting our week off with a walk to Linlithgow Rugby Club. Once we arrived we were met by the coaches. We were divided into two groups. Once in our groups, we played a few warm up games and then a few rounds of tag rugby. It was great fun and we are looking forward to another round of games next week Tuesday.
The fun didn’t stop there. On Wednesday morning the RSPB came to visit. We had a lovely discussion about the different types of birds that we can find in our area, and we were also given tips on how we can identify the different birds. We then headed outside to do a little bird watching and we helped the RSPB count the number of birds on our pitch. This week we will be logging our bird count on the RSPB website.
The fun didn’t stop there. Mrs Matos surprised us on Thursday afternoon with a visit from one of the teachers from Dance World, who came along to teach us some street dance! What fun, Mrs Tulloch and Miss Prince came along too, to learn a few new moves. We even got to add a dab to our dance.
In numeracy this week, we used all our knowledge that we have learnt so far in P5 (Place value, doubles/ near doubles, rounding and addition) and worked in pairs to create our own Math game. We needed to use all that we know to create a challenging and Fun Math game. This week we will get the opportunity to play each other’s games. This week we became Math detectives, we worked with a partner to answer some maths problems to help find the super hero who had turned bad in Mathhaton. Ryan, Ambra, Evie, Samuel, Emily and Gabriella were among a few of the detectives who managed to solve the mystery of the evil super hero. We are looking forward to learning different strategies to help us solve subtraction problems next week.
The fun never stops in primary 5, next week we have another trip to Linlithgow Rugby club to look forward to, and on Wednesday we are going to the Fourth Crossing Education centre!
Till next week Mrs Matos and P5B
