We’ve been busy this week in P5a…
Numeracy and Mathematics
- Learning about compass points, giving directions and using coordinates
- Drawn our own treasure maps using squared paper and will be giving a partner some written instructions next week to attempt to find the hidden treasure
- We have extended our knowledge of angles and rotations using degrees, e.g 90 degrees is the same as a quarter turn, 180 degrees is a half turn and 360 degrees is a full rotation
- Times table practice using a ‘Multiplication Mash-Up’
- On Thursday, Mr. Logan set us a team challenge on Sumdog to consolidate our learning from the week, Team 3 were the winners and Arran was our individual winner
Literacy and English
- We’ve continued with our group novel studies and have been using detail to draw Lewis and Gregory from our The Day the World Went Loki book, we then wrote a description of these characters
- We have been using alliteration when creating adverts for our bird feeders and also presented our designs to the rest of the class focusing on using appropriate voice, tone, clarity and pace
Learning Across the Curriculum
- In science with Mrs. Tulloch we have been learning about friction and the effect this has on aerodynamics and air resistance
- We will be making parachutes in the coming weeks to apply this learning
- We had some outdoor play with Mr. Logan on Thursday on the trim trail and back playground, it was very cold!
- With Mrs. Begarnie we entered discussions and debates, talking about what makes us individual and unique and some questions that didn’t necessarily have a correct answer
- In Art and Design we finished making our bird feeders, our designs were brilliant and we presented the different features of these confidently
Have a nice weekend
