Things are electric in P4/5 this week

Maths

Abi – We have been working on our number talks this week. We talk about different strategies that we can use to work out a calculation. This week some of us used our knowledge of rounding as a strategy.

Joshua – We have been using sumdog to help us with maths. We were entered into a competition.

Mirren – We worked on our knowledge of subtraction with borrowing. This can sometimes be tricky.

 

Writing

Lewis – We wrote an imaginative story about our adventure to space. We had to include an act of kindness in our story as part of cool to be kind week. We have a new friend Bill who joined us for writing. We read his story and helped him correct it and uplevel it with great vocabulary.

IDL

Lukasz – This week in IDL we were learning about electrical circuits. We had 4 electrical wires with crocodile clips, 1 battery, 1 switch and 1 lamp. We put them together to form an electrical circuit so that the bulb lit up. In our class we have a display to show different object that use battery power or mains.

Nycos

Finlay – In Nycos this week we learned 2 new songs. We are learning all about beat and rhythm.

SSPCA

Tanatswa – We had a visitor from the SSPCA. She came and told us all about the animals that they protect. We learned some new facts. I know that animals who sleep during the night are called nocturnal animals and animals who sleep like us are called diurnal. We played a game with our partner to learn about many animals. The card game was really fun. She left us some treats for being so good.

Cool to be kind

Louise – This week we have been focusing on how to be kind to others. We drew portraits of our peers in our class and wrote something kind about them. Today we came to school dressed in our PJ’s with crazy as part of Children in Need. We even ran a mile in our PJs. We know that there are many children who do not have as much as us and would love to raise awareness so people donate money to this charity.

Achievements Assembly

Lewis got the kindness award for P4/5 because he always looks out for others and makes sure everyone in the class are happy and have a great big smile on their face.

Have a super weekend everyone.
