Primary 5/6 News

In PE this week our class has been learning about shot putt, we now know how stand properly , twisting our hips, getting power from our legs and how to throw properly.

As part of our healthy eating topic we researched how to read nutritional labels on the back of packaging and did a survey to find out how much fruit and veg our class eats. We will do this survey again at the end of our topic to see if this improves. We have also been designing different packaging for our Eatwell Plate display. We had an interesting discussion and debate on Monday when we had to put different food and drinks into unhealthy or healthy categories, providing a reason for our choice. Here are some pictures of the survey we did…

Using our knowledge of why we should all eat 5 portions of fruit and veg a day, how to write a letter and  learning how to use persuasive techniques we all created persuasive letters trying to convince people to eat at least 5 portions of fruit and veg a day.

We continued to practice multiplying 4 digits by 1 digit in maths. We also started our circles topic this week. We know the different parts of a circle, the circumference, radius and the diameter. We learned how to find the center point of a circle, calculate the radius and diameter and also the circumference using pi- 3.14. We will be continuing our circles topic next week.

Have a lovely weekend
