Primary 5/6 News

This week we revised 2D and 3D shape properties. We also revised the multiplication and division strategies we learned last term. These have helped us learn how to multiply 4 digit numbers by a single digit. Next week we will continue with multiplication strategies as our class needs to continue to learn their times tables. Why not play ‘Hit the Button’ at home! http://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/hit-the-button

In PE we have started our athletics block by practising the skills needed to do the long jump. On Monday we also got to play capture the flag on the field.

We used our dictionary skills this week to find the definition of unknown words from our reading books and also revised how to put words in to alphabetical order.

This week was creative industries week and we enjoyed doing creative activities such as renaming objects in our classroom and creating our own games. In assembly we played ‘can you guess the object’.

Our topic this term is Health and wellbeing. As a class we decided to focus on investigating how to have a healthy balanced diet. We looked at the ‘Eatwell Plate’ and discussed the foods in each section and why it is important to have foods from every section, in your diet. Next week we will be doing a fruit and vegetable survey, creating meals with all food types in them and designing our new topic display. To help with our display we need lots of food labels. If you are finished with packaging at home please wash out and bring it in to school next week.

Primary 6 are extremely excited about their skiing and snowboarding trip next week!

Have a lovely weekend!
