P5h Blog!

We have settled in well to Primary 5 and have been enjoying learning new things.

In literacy, we have been focusing on new spelling patters and coming up with new ways to practice. In writing we have been producing descriptive pieces based on our topic. Last week we wrote about the layers of the Earth! We can name and describe the crust, mantle, outer core and inner core.

In Numeracy we have been consolidating our knowledge of place value. We have been learning about 24 hour time in Maths.

We have been enjoying our new topic: Natural Disasters. We look forward to learning more about earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanoes.

We look forward to sharing our learning with you this year!

We have had a brilliant start to Primary 4.

 

We have started to read the Wild Robot by Peter Brown and have found it very interesting. We have designed our own robots and islands, as well as written stories about them.

In numeracy we have been learning about place value and rounding. It has been a little bit tricky but we have learned new strategies to help us.

In P.E we have been using our teamwork and communication skills to solve problems. We have really enjoyed them.

 

Pupil Quotes:

“I have really enjoyed building our robots and islands”

“I have really enjoyed rounding”

“I have really enjoyed using hundreds, tens and units”

“I have liked the arts and crafts activities”

 

We think it’s going to be a really fun journey in Primary 4. We can’t wait to share more blog posts with you.

We have had a busy start to Primary 7 so far.

In literacy, we have been practicing to use speech marks in grammar. In writing we have been doing expositions and have written letters to Mrs Angus about the leadership roles we would like to do within the school. Our class novel this term is Divergent.

In numeracy we have been revising the 4 concepts- addition, subtraction, division and multiplication. In maths with Mrs Welsh, we have been learning about data handling learning to organise data into line graphs and bar graphs.

In PE we been doing an Outdoor Bootcamp and during our hall time we have been doing gymnastics.

We have also been spending time with our buddies in the lunch hall and during buddy time. We have also been applying for leadership roles and have presented our presentations to the rest of the year group. We then voted for who we thought would be the best candidate for the job. The votes will be counted over the weekend!

We have lots more to look forward to this term. Please keep your eye out for our invitation to our Macmillan Coffee Morning.
