In Maths we finished off our work on division and on Wednesday we moved onto time. We have been revising what we know already know about this topic and have been calculating what the time would be before and after a period of time has passed. In addition to this we have also been comparing how the time appears on an analogue and a digital clock. We have also been continuing to revise our table knowledge by playing some team games to help us. On Friday we challenged ourselves by taking part in the BIG Maths and Multiplication activities and found that our scores are continuing to improve!
In Literacy we used our research skills to find out information about Linlithgow that would help a tourist who was coming to visit the town. We combined this information with what we already knew about Linlithgow Palace to design and create a very interesting and informative leaflet for the Scottish Tourist Board. The leaflet is full of information to help and attract tourists to visit our lovely town.
We also looked at different styles of letters and wrote thank you letters to Mr Woodhouse, Elaine at the Forth Road Bridge Education Centre and the children from Linlithgow Primary who were our guides when we visited Linlithgow Palace. After drafting the letters and checking our spelling and punctuation we transferred the letters onto paper with specially designed borders that we had made. Some of the borders on the letter heads contain pictures of the Bridges and the Palace.
For science we finished off our work on investigating separation by evaporation.
On Thursday we looked at a video all about Internet Safety to help us learn about the importance of keeping ourselves safe. We have also started to design posters for display around the school.
Altogether a very busy first week back in P5B!
