Another very busy week in Primary 5!  We have continued to learn about place value and we have looked at large numbers up to 100,000. We have also started to look at and describe some 2D shapes. In Writing we have been focusing on using descriptive language and we all wrote some amazing sentences to describe our story setting.

This week Batshewa and Marcella were chosen as our first Class Lead Learners. They have done an excellent job and they have been very busy writing comments in our Talking Book and they have also written our blog comments today. Very well done girls!
