We had great fun creating some book covers and blurbs and watching a live writers session with our class favourite author, David Walliams. We also enjoyed our &#8216;drop everything and read&#8217; sessions on Thursday when the bell rang throughout the day and we had to read our ERIC book! As a class we love ERIC time so we were more than happy to spend lots of extra time doing this!<\/p>\n<p>During maths we have been working really hard on addition and subtraction of fractions, converting improper fractions to mixed fractions and calculating fractions of quantities. We had great fun completing lots of timed challenges, smartboard games and collaborative learning posters to consolidate our thinking. Next week will be our last week of fractions, decimals and percentages before we move on to a brand new topic again!<\/p>\n<p>Our overall class highlight of the week was our assembly on Friday morning! We had great fun showing our parents and families around our woodland and playground area whilst we completed an orienteering challenge and created some fantastic mouse houses and birds nests! A big thank you to all parents who came and got stuck in with their children! We all had a wonderful time and hope that you learnt something along the way!<\/p>\n<p>Throughout topic this week we have been mainly focused on completing our John Muir presentations which we will take home with us on Monday! We also learnt about primary and secondary sources and completed our very own John Muir inspired historical enquiry. We loved exploring John Muir&#8217;s original journal, books and artwork to answer our own developed questions. Excellent work P5A.<\/p>\n<p>This week our Hot Chocolate winner was Tyler! He consistently demonstrated our school values of ready, respectful and safe. Congratulations Tyler!<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for another wonderful week P5A, see you all on Monday!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-16446\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/stjohnogilvieprimary\/files\/2023\/03\/IMG_6715-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-16447\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/stjohnogilvieprimary\/files\/2023\/03\/IMG_6712-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-16448\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/stjohnogilvieprimary\/files\/2023\/03\/IMG_6730-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-16449\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/stjohnogilvieprimary\/files\/2023\/03\/IMG_6727-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear parents and families, We have had another super week!
