Hello!
What wonderful weather it has been this week!
We feel very lucky to have such lovely school grounds to use for learning about the outdoors and learning in the outdoors!
We worked with the other P5 class this week for our Grammar lesson outside in the playground. We worked in pairs and played against our partner, ‘up-levelling’ our sentences. Another pair then marked our work and double checked that we had calculated the correct amount. We recognised the importance of spelling words correctly and using a dictionary to check our spelling was accurate.
We observed our environment on Thursday and went into the school grounds (in the sun!) to use our senses to find something for each letter of the alphabet, this proved quite tricky for some letters!!
After we had completed our observation alphabet task, we sketched the environment we were working in. We had to include as many of the features from our lists as we could.
We then used our observation descriptions and created shape poems, giving our poem a title.
In Maths we were focusing on decimals. We were introduced to decimals creating art within a hundred square. We had to use 3 colours and then convert the amount we had coloured into fractions, decimals and percentages. Lots of us managed to find the fractions simplest form.
We then moved onto comparing, ordering and rounding decimals. Lots of us said it was just like money without the pound sign!
We were adding and subtracting decimals by the end of the week! Well done, P5a!!
Have a wonderful weekend in the sun!
We hope that the amazing weather continues!
P5A and Mrs McCartney
