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!

Primary 4 have been working very hard so far this term. We have been learning all about the Unsinkable Ship. We have been taking part in secret missions to bring the Titanic back to life. We have also been consolidating our knowledge of multiplication and division. In maths, we have been focussing on time. We have been learning to use different spelling patterns and use these in our writing.

Here are some of the things we have enjoyed:

BK- I have enjoyed our dance topic in PE.

KT: I like doing handwriting.

RL: I have enjoyed different art activities. My favourite was our colourful tree of life.

GM: I have enjoyed learning about time in maths.

JM: I have liked going to the library to choose a new book each week.

Here are some of the things we are looking forward to:

CT: Participating in more NYCOS lessons

CA: I am looking forward to more missions.

AA: I am looking forward to our school trip

We have been learning more about our Ancient Egypt topic. We particularly enjoyed learning about the discovery of Tutankhamun. We made dioramas which showed the tomb and what was found inside it!

In Literacy we have been writing narrative stories. We have written spooky stories and we have written a fairytale but in an Egyptian setting. We have also been working hard to improve our spelling.

In Maths we have started a new topic measure which we have used meter sticks and scales to help us measure different things.

In Numeracy we started a new topic on Money. We have been learning how to work out change and have even started up a new class shop!
