P5 Weekly News!

This week, P5 has been really fun!

We have been reading James and the Giant Peach and are at a really exciting stage in the story where James has met the giant bugs! We made posters to advertise the giant peach and developed our tint and shade skills to create a night sky and giant peach picture.

“I really liked doing the art and first we done the night sky and then the peach!” – Julia C

In maths, we have been learning about rounding numbers and estimating answers. We completed some written tasks as well as active tasks and our favourite activity was using the Kahoot quiz.

“Kahoot was really fun because you got to see your name, how well you were doing and how many points you had on the big screen!” – Wojtek

“Kahoot was fun trying to answer the questions! Some of them were tricky!” – Zoe

In PE, we have been developing our basketball skills. This week we were practising shooting balls into the hoop.

“I liked the part where you have to aim and shoot!” – Alan

In writing, we have been wrting a poem about James’ first encounter into the peach. We had to use a metaphor to help describe how he would have been feeling. We found this very difficult.

“I liked ding writing because it was fun and enjoyable!” – Lennon

“I liked doing the writing because we didn’t have to make the poem rhyme and I liked writing the ‘I wonder…, I worry and I hear…’ sentences.” – Harry

We are still enjoying taking part in free writing Friday. This week we had some stories, some comic strips, some recipes and some annotated diagrams.

Enjoy the long weekend, Primary 5 and Miss Diamond.

See you on Wednesday!
