Well done to everyone who have completed their presentation so far, I have been blown away with the standard! There is still a group of 12 to present so this will take place on Monday afternoon thank you for your patience. Here are some of the topics covered so far,
Coca Cola – Deacon, Amera, Ben, Alistair
Nestle – Erin O,
Yorkshire Tea – Isabel
Starburst – Jennifer
Walkers – Rugare, Declan
Salmon – Aiden
Lees – James
Cadbury – Erin R, Mia St, Emily
Lyo – Krzysztof
Kit Kat – Ciara
Greggs – Kalvin
Lucazade – Nicholas
Weetabix – Rayn
Kellogs – Erwin
Pringles – Aliza
Irn Bru – Emma
As you can see there has been a huge amount covered and the children are all proving that they have acted on their feedback given after their last presentation. Most children are now showing that they are more aware of their audience by making good eye contact and by using an appropriate level of voice.
For our writing this week we have written a set of instructions about how to make Mac and Cheese in a Microwave. Everyone got the chance to have some hands on experience of making this in class as well as watching a demonstration from Mrs (Deila Smith) Currie. To ensure our instructions were of the highest possible standard we watched an M+S advert to learn about using adjectives to enhance our descriptions of food. The results were not just good instructions, they were finger-licking amazingly well written instructions! 😉
If you fancy trying out the recipe at home here is a youtube tutorial on how to make it, enjoy!
In maths we have been looking at the topic of money and in particular how to understand a till receipt. We will continue this next week looking to solve maths problems using information gained from a receipt.
Another great week P5. Well done!
Mrs Currie
I am very hungry after reading your blog post, P5!
I will certainly be trying out your recipe at some point – well, I’ll pass it on to Mr Purdie to make for me!! 😉
Delighted to hear your presentations have been so impressive and that you are all developing key communication skills. These are what we call skills for learning, life and work. Well done.
Sounds like a great topic and I’m sure they’ve all enjoyed learning about different foods and food manufacturers, and telling their friends all about it
I heard the mac & cheese was amazing!
Thanks for your comment. The Mac and Cheese met and exceeded my expectations! I think mum and dad deserve a night off dinner duty, leave it to Alistair!
