P5 are busy

Last week it was Jammin’ Fitness, this week it has been Judo.  Here are some photos of the highlights.

In class for our writing this week we watched a short animated film linked with the Euro 16 championship.  The children then had to turn this into a comic strip.  Our learning intention was to see the importance of sequencing a story and including enough detail for the reader to follow the story line.  The results were all super!  And hopefully the children can see making a comic strip as a good way to plan when creating an original extended story.

In Maths we completed a fun Number Hunt.  Mrs Currie put questions all around the classroom and area and the children had to find the questions and then work out the answers recording it on a sheet.  Our learning intention for this lesson was to use a calculator to help us solve the problems as well as developing our ability to interpret the word problem.  The children all worked successfully in pairs showing that they were all effective contributors as well as successful learners!

On Monday the weather held us back from completing our athletics work in PE.  So instead we played extreme dodgeball in the hall, this is a HUGE favourite with the children and I cannot believe how well their ball skills as well as team spirit has improved over the course of the session.

Well done P5.  As always I am so proud of you all.  Have a lovely weekend.

Mrs Currie.
