Yet another busy week in P5 and we have been learning how to do lots of new things:
In Maths we have been rounding numbers and in Number Talks we have been revising our subtraction strategies. We have also been learning the names of different angles and we have been identifying triangles by the length of their sides and also their angles.
In Writing we wrote about Francis part two, where we wrote about what happened next to the girl in our story from last week.
In R.E. we have been thanking God for all the things we have and we have been learning how prayer can help us in our life. We have been discussing what people were respected in the time of Jesus and we have been talking about Jesus helping the Tax Collectors and the Sinners.
For Word Boost we have been learning some new words and their meanings and here are some examples: ‘stooping, flickering’ and ‘thundered’. We have been using these words throughout the week.
In Spanish we have continued to talk about our families and we are going to learn about pet names next week.
We are continuing to read our reading books and we are still enjoying our class novel, ‘Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone’ by J.K. Rowling. It is amazing!
In Spelling we had some new spelling words. We all have challenging words this week but we were all still successful.
In Science we have had fun learning about the difference between dissolving and melting and we have been testing different materials to see if they are soluble or insoluble in water. We tested salt, sugar, coffee, flour, rice, chalk, gravy and sand.
For our homework task we all read an extract from Harry Potter and answered questions about it.
In P.E. we have been learning Tennis skills and playing practice games. We also had a choice to take part in dancing.
Congratulations to Jack for being awarded the Praise Postcard this week!
The Lead Learners this week are Kate and Daniel.
