Learning Overview
This week in P5 we have had many learning highlights. A definite favourite for all was developing coding skills using Scratch to program Marty the robot to dance. In literacy we have been learning about proper nouns and how to write a procedural text accurately. In maths and numeracy we have been applying our knowledge of the four processes to complete Halloween themed calculations and have been using the outdoors to learn about Symmetry.

Parent Involvement
Why not visit Scratch, https://scratch.mit.edu/ and get your child to teach you some coding skills!
I am so glad that Marty has been a success in our school – coding is such an important skill to learn – what a good idea to attach a link to try some more coding at home with your families.
