We have had a good week in P5D.
We have continued with our class novel which has been interesting because it is full of surprises. Who would have thought Boadicea could talk!? We wrote our own predictions about what we thought would happen next.
“It was interesting to listen to other people’s predictions!” – Michelle
We have been doing drama related to our class novel ‘Junkyard Jack’ and recorded ourselves to share with the rest of our class.
“I enjoyed getting to watch the other group’s videos. It was really fun!” – Ola
In maths, we have been rounding whole numbers to the nearest, 10, 100 and 1000.
“I have enjoyed learning about rounding to the nearest 1000 using big numbers.” – Emily
We have been focussing on addition in our Number Talks sessions.
“It is really fun and quite challenging sharing strategies with the class, that’s why I like it!” – Aaron
In PE, we have been developing our skills in hockey. We have been getting our teams ready for an in-school tournament.
“I really enjoy hockey because you have a position to play in the team e.g. a striker, a defender, a midfielder and a goal keeper!” – Zuzanna.
We have been learning about keeping ourselves safe as this month’s GIRFEC focus is ‘safe’. We learned about ‘Stranger Danger’ and how to keep ourselves safe when we are out and about.
“I enjoyed making a poster about Stranger Danger with a group.” – Robbie.
In RE we wrote our own prayers about our hopes and dreams for the new school year.
“I liked writing sentences about important things in school like being ready, safe and respectful, having a growth mind-set and being hard working all the time.” – Kasia
We are looking forward to Scotland’s Maths Week next week.
Congratulations to Ola who is taking our first praise postcard home this week for always being kind, caring and helpful to her peers.
Have a great weekend, Miss Diamond and P5D!
Another fun packed week. Emily is really enjoying maths and the reading book. Congratulations Ola well done.
