P5 Digesting The Facts

This week we focused on learning about the digestive system of the human body.  We learned about the functions of the body’s organs involved in the process and how food travels through each section.  We then turned this information into a written report using diagrams as well as writing.

In maths we revised our understanding of finding a fraction of an amount, for example 1/5 of 25, and then extended this into finding  2/5s of 25 and so on.

We also looked at finding factors of numbers.  As an extra challenge find out what special name we give to a number greater than 1 that can only be divided equally by 1 and itself, post your answer for a dojo! 🙂

On both Tuesday and Wednesday the children worked with Mrs Thomson to produce some very colourful and creative sun designs, once you have looked at these you know summer is nearly here!  Where are my shades?!

Now the weather is improving hopefully more of our PE lessons will be outdoors, on overcast days you might want to bring warmer PE kit.  Our next step in PE is to use our sprint starts that we learned in the hall outside where we can run a full sprint distance!  Looking forward to it…I will definitely need to remember my trainers!

Have a lovely weekend.
