P5 Weekly Update

This week we had a very very fun week in P5.

In writing this week we wrote character descriptions about another Awful Aunt for James from our class novel. We had to use similes, metaphors and adjectives to create a clear picture of our character.

“I liked doing writing because making the character mean and weird was really funny!” – Wojtek

“I liked writing because it was fun trying to use similes and metaphors!” – Ahmed

“I liked writing about the horrible aunties!” – Madison

We have tried a new way of working smart starts, there will always be 4 activities and we can ick which one we want to go to. Every day we must choose a different station so that by the end of the week we have had a chance at doing them all.

“I really enjoyed doing smart starts, especially using the stile boards and construction!” – Angelina

“I liked using the construction in my smart start!” – Oma

In art, we have been learning about tinting and shading. We had 6 original colours and we experimented with white and black paint and mixing them together to create lighter and darker shades of colours.

“I really liked art because it was fun!” – Julia

“It was very fun doing it and I had a good time!” – Maeve.

In music this week, we had Mrs Nichol as our teacher.  We played fun games to get to know each other and sang songs.

“I liked doing music when we had to do a hand clap game.” – Alishba

“I liked playing hot potato!” – Madison

“I enjoyed ‘Free Writing Friday’ this week. I wrote about a spider!” – Marcus.

We hope you have a great weekend, P5 and Miss Diamond.
