In Primary 5D, we have been doing some outdoor learning. We used devices to take photos of different landscapes around our school building and are going to use collage to recreate the image. We have been working in teams to decide/plan what collage resources we will need to make the landscape look realistic.
“It was fun to find a good spot to take the picture!” – Ola
In maths, we have learning about percentages and are able to apply our knowledge to find a simple percentage of a number and make relevant link to fractions and decimals. Some of us have been looking at the link between multiplication and division and used dice games to help us.
“Maths was really fun!” – Sophie R
We have introduced our new HWB topic, Global Goals this week. We got into groups of 3 or 4 and chose 1 Global Goal to research. We will be inviting you to a showcase later this month to help you understand more about the Goals through video clips.
“It was good fun to use technology to design a logo for our goal and I am excited to make our video!” – Maliha
In PE, we have been developing skills in both the long jump and the high jump. In the high jump, we were trying to jump higher than 1m.
“In PE, it was fun learning the scissor kick!” – Angel
“When we done the scissor kick it was very fun but sometimes it was quite challenging to jump high!” – Levente
In writing, we used Newsround as a stimulus to write a news report about one of the stories that interested us. This was an extended piece of writing as we have just introduced our next block of PM writing which is focussing on descriptive texts.
“I enjoyed doing the news report and wrote about the world’s biggest teddy bear!” – Emily
We worked with P4 this week to teach them how to use SWAY. We demonstrated skills we have already learned so that they can use this programme to present information.
“I liked working with the P4s and teaching them how to use SWAY!” – Sophie D
“I like getting to know a bit about the P4s when we were helping them use SWAY!” – Michelle
“I liked helping the P4s make a presentation ‘all about us’ and getting to learn a bit about them!” – Morgan
Congratulations to Emily for being awarded our praise postcard this week for her efforts in writing. Well done!
Have a great long weeked, Miss D and Primary 5D!
