It sure was our last week before our Easter holidays, but what a busy week it has been.
No matter the week, we never stop learning. In Numeracy this week we finished with multiplication, and started to have a look at division. We made the connection between multiplication and division and realised how important it was that we knew our times table facts. Hopefully with the multiplication mash up song we have been singing and some extra practise during our holidays, I’m sure when we get back to school we will be able to tackle the various division strategies with ease.
In literacy this week we were learning the differences between a prefix and a suffix. We also used the books in our classroom library to go on a prefix hunt. It was interesting to see how we can break words up into, prefixes, root words and suffixes.
We had fun in PE this week, we joined up with Primary 5A and we took part in some fun dancing using Go Noodle. It was so much fun, to join up with the our friends in the other class, the dance moves were fun, we were having so much fun we didn’t even realise we were working up a sweat.
This week has been a week of all things Easter. We enjoyed making mindfulness colouring Easter cards. We hope that our special persons enjoys their cards that we have made. We have also been practising our Easter songs with Primary 5A. We even made a funky ‘Up Town Funk’ Easter version song. We all put a lot of effort into making our Easter bonnets, which we displayed for our special guests on Thursday. Mrs Matos and Mrs Macartney were very proud of all the Primary 5s for their hard work on their Easter Bonnets and singing.
In 1+2 we have been learning the French colours. We created our own Easter French colour by numbers version. We then asked a partner to follow the French instructions and to colour our Easter pictures in correctly. We definitely have some budding artists in P5B.
P5B would like to say a Big Thank you to P4A who invited us along to their classroom to share their learning on Egypt with us. We had so much fun learning different facts about Egypt. We really appreciate all the effort P4A had put in to make us feel welcome, and also had some fun active activities for us to do while we were there. We made some pyramids, wrote our names in hieroglyphics and there were so much for to do. Thank you P4A and Mrs Newton.
After such a busy week, we definitely all looking forward to our Easter holidays.
P5B and Mrs Matos
