We are designing and making our own chocolates and put them into wrappers that we have also designed and made. We are learning this as we are finding out all about Fairtrade because our topic is The Island and people grow cocoa beans on islands.

We have been writing narratives which is a fiction text. Our narratives have been about exploring an island.

In Numeracy and Maths, we have been learning about time. We have been reading clocks and working out durations of time.

In PE we have been playing rounders and learning how to play a team sport. We have been working on bat and ball skills, accuracy and pace and stamina.

We are very excited to make our own chocolates and wrappers.

We are also looking forward to Fitness Fortnight and Sports Day even though it might look a bit different this year.

We have been learning:

We were learning to use letters as numbers. This is called algebra.

In topic, we have been learning about islands. We have designed our own islands in groups and presented them to the rest of the class. We had to have good communication and teamwork skills as well as creativity and we used our knowledge and understanding about islands and how they made.

We have been looking at playscripts in Literacy and learning how to read them and understand how they are written.

In Maths, we have been learning about time and reading digital and analogue clocks. We have been converting 12hr and 24hr time.

We have enjoyed:

HA – I really like football in PE.

DM – I have enjoyed learning about why you may choose to be a vegetarian.

TW – I have liked learning about islands and creating our own.

RE – I have liked doing drama and acting. I also like algebra.

LF – I have enjoyed converting 12hr time into 24hr time.

We are looking forward too:

We are looking forward to learning more art techniques.

We are also looking forward to continuing to learn algebra.

Hello everyone!

Over the last few weeks we have been very busy in P5f!

In literacy, we have been learning about confusing words called homophones and homonyms. We feel much more confident in using them now!

We have been writing information reports about Mexico and a topic of our own choice. Some topics were cows, cubs, puppies, swimming, crisps and horses.

In numeracy and maths, we have been exploring patterns and sequences. We have also been looking at symmetry and make symmetrical Rangoli patterns.

We have been developing our ICT skills by making forms and sways to demonstrate our understanding.

In PE, we have been doing footgolf and hurdles.

We have also been having TEAM meets to learn some mandarin from Miss Zho.

We hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

P5f
