Hello!
Another fun filled week!
We were researching hotels, fights and travel insurance for our ‘Linlithgow Olympics.’ We found getting a suitable price challenging and now recognise how hard our parents work when they book us a family holiday!!!
We researched our given countries for the ‘Linlithgow Olympics.’ We found out lots of interesting facts about the famous people, landmarks and currency that they use. We shared our facts about Germany, Spain, England, France and Italy with P4 confidently!
In maths we recognised number sequences and extended them. We realised how to look for patterns within the sequence and were able to predict the next number.
we began to consider appropriate measurements. We went on a ‘Measurement Hunt’ around the school and identified 5 items that we would measure in cm, mm and metres.
In PE we had lots of fun playing team building games with hoops and balls, it was great fun and we worked really well with the other P5.
We were ‘up-levelling’ the beginning or the endings to our Olympic story ‘My Moment to Shine.’ Up levelling is all about changing boring, general simple and compound sentences into interesting complex sentences that include precise detail. Higher level writing also creates a mood and can include figurative writing. We shared our ‘new’ beginnings and endings with the class and all recognised an improvement. We are going to try and ‘up-level’ all of our sentences in our writing across the curriculum. Well done, Primary 5!
Have a fantastic weekend!
We are really looking forward to our trips next week.
