In Spanish, we have been learning about dates including numbers, the days of the week and the months of the year. We can say our birthdays in Spanish.

We have been enjoying learning about 2D and 2D Shape in Maths. We know that parallelograms have two pairs of parallel sides. Some 2D shapes have only one side. An octagon has eight sides. We learned about four different types of triangles – isosceles, equilateral, scalene and right-angled triangle. We found out that you can also have a right-angled isosceles or a right-angled scalene triangle. We can describe the properties of 2D and 3D Shapes including sides, angles, vertices and faces.

In PE, we have been having lots of fun working on ball skills and playing ball games. We have been passing the ball to each other using different types of passes. We have been playing small-sided team games.

In Numeracy, we have been learning the seven and eight times tables and looking at different ways of dividing larger numbers. We are now learning about Fractions. We know that in a fraction the number at the top is called the numerator and the number at the bottom is called the denominator. We are looking forward to learning more about Fractions.

We enjoyed our Science experiments that we have been doing as part of our IDL work. As part of our learning about Alexander Graham bell, we made our very own cup and string telephone. The sound was captured by the cup and travelled by vibrations along the string to the other cup. We also liked doing the mould experiment. We grew mould by putting bread and water in a bag and leaving it in a dark place for a week. At the end of the 7 days, we found lots of mould on the bread. This is how Alexander Fleming discovered Penicillin.

In writing, I have enjoyed writing discussion texts because you get to write about both sides of the argument and give your own opinion.

We have also been trying out some new reading materials and comprehension activities, these have been very interesting and we have enjoyed them because they are more challenging.

P5mw have been working hard to improve our handwriting. We have been trying our best to join our writing and keep our work well presented.
