In P5D we have been working very hard this week. We have been continuing with our work on PM writing, still focussing on recounts. We have learned that the key features of a recount are a title, orientation, sequence of events and personal comment. We have been focussing on nouns and pronouns, past tense verbs and using sequential language.
We have also had the chance to do an extended piece of writing this week all about what we have learned during our sleep Scotland lessons. We are all full of very important information so why not ask us to share this with you.
We are enjoying using our new reading resource which focuses on our understanding of what we have read. Getting to use the answer cards to assess ourselves is one of the perks.
We enjoyed our class trip to the library this week. We got to pick another book of our choice and enjoyed having the chance to read some of these in the library whilst sheltering from the crazy hail and windy weather.
In maths, we have been learning about decimal numbers. We have been reading scales with decimals and placing decimal numbers on number lines. This has been quite difficult as we have had to work out what each increment represents.
On Wednesday and Thursday of this week, and for the next 2 weeks, we will be participating in a bike ability course. This week we have learned how to do ‘M checks’ to ensure they are fit for purpose, how to put the bike down properly to avoid any damage to the chain and how to use our brakes properly. We had lots of fun activities like a slow race, emergency stop and the cone colour game to make sure our heads were looking up and not down towards the ground.
We got to support some of our classmates and watch the Glee performance of their 2 songs which they participated with in a competition this week.
“They sang beautifully!” – Zuzanna
“They worked well as a team,” – Hasan
“My favourite song was Proud Mary!” – Andrew
We enjoyed our stay, play and be well session this week where we got to showcase some of the HWB activities we have been doing in class. Thank you to the parents/families who were able to come in and join us.
We had the opportunity to join the nursery again this week for 10minutes of their PE lesson helping them develop their throwing and catching skills. In our own PE lesson we have been doing team cross country relay.
Congratulations to Calvin this week who has been awarded our praise postcard for good teamwork and being ready to learn :)!
Have a great weekend, P5D and Miss Diamond.
