Overview:
This week we have been learning how to multiply decimal fractions and how to divide whole numbers by 19, 100 and 1000. We have had some more practice with measuring angles using a protractor and we are feeling more confident with this now.
In Writing we have been looking at the structure of an exposition and we planned and wrote one about the Daily Mile.
We have spent a great deal of time preparing for the school Christmas Fayre and making our calendars, snow globe decorations and decorating the Christmas trees. We also spent some time calculating the cost of making the different items, ready to calculate the profit for the class.
Pupil voice:
Angel: I liked decorating the Christmas trees with glitter and
pom-poms for the Christmas Fayre.
Jack: I prepared my solo talk about being a footballer.
Niamh: In RE we performed dramas about St. Andrew.
Lennon: We learnt how to measure angles using a protractor.
Rachel: For Writing we wrote an exposition about running the Daily Mile.
Andrew: We all made snow globes for the Christmas Fayre.
Angel: We made advertising posters about everything we were selling for the Fayre.
Carly: We finished our Christmas Spanish calendars.
Pawel: I really enjoyed making the poster for the fayre.
Calvin: Our new PM Writing genre is Exposition.
Rachel: In PE we did Scottish dancing. We joined with the Primary 7 class for our dancing.
Kate: In Maths we were working out the cost of making our enterprise products and then we decided on the prices of our products and we will be calculating the profit later on.
Home Challenge:
Next time you are out shopping, look out for packs containing several items. See if you can calculate how much each individual item costs by dividing the cost of the packet by the number of items inside,
Look out for different angles at home. Can you find examples of right angels, acute angles or obtuse angles?
