Week ending 8.6.18 5A

This week we have tried to get outdoors to work as much as possible. It was great doing literacy circle and comprehension outside in the shade. Long may it continue. Some groups have finished their novels this week and have loved the endings.

We are about to write up our Big Adventure Hero stories . We have devised our own superheroes and their capabilities and we wrote some diary extracts about what they got up to. I’m looking forward to reading about their adventures.

After discussing the eatwell guide it has led us into a discussion about making healthy food choices and this will continue into health week on Monday.

In science, we investigated how sound travels and the mediums it moves through. We made different pitches with wood, rubber bands and cardboard, working out how to make note higher and lower. We will review this next week and plan out how to make a tuned guitar as our final STEM project.

In maths, we continued sorting information and making digital graphs online. We then looked at temperatures for October on a database and did the whole process from start to finish. We completed it by asking relevant questions.

We will be measuring outside next week.

We practised our French vocabulary about La Famille and we exchanged Spanish greetings.

We started our literacy circle this week and everybody was very pleased with their choice of book. There was lots of discussion about the cover, illustrations and our initial feelings about the story line and characters. Mrs Tulloch had a job trying to get us to stop talking. Everyone has a role for next week and we look forward to listening to how everyone in the group manages their literacy circle task.

We were using dictionaries to help when up leveling our writing. For comprehension, we focused on reading for information and this should help us prepare for our class talks.

In maths, we focused on equivalent fractions and simplifying fractions. This was quite tricky and  we need to practise the method we have been using in class. Next week we will be finding fractions of an amount.  Mrs Gordon was pleased with our work on area and we will continue with perimeter.

We started our new IDL geography trail about Scotland and used a map to show: what we know, what we would like to find out and how we are going to do it.

At PE, we practiced our drills at basketball and had some very fast games. Lots of double dribbles though!

Mrs Bain gave us instruments and we were practicing keeping different rhythms.

Mr Logan continued with our internet safety and we completed our posters.

We continued with Scratch and have been showing our work, cartoon and movies to  rest of the class. They are fab.
