P5m Blog 2.3.20

This week we have learned how to plan and write a descriptive story about Scottish inventors.  Now that we have learned this we can; write in a sequence, write in paragraphs and write an exciting introduction.

Over the past 4 weeks we have been doing skills academy, including learning sign language, booking a holiday, STEM and baking.  Now that we have learned this we can successfully work as part of a team, communicate well with each other, and use our maths and numeracy in practical ways.

This week we enjoyed learning how to calculate fractions of an amount.   We learned this by drawing pizzas to order for e.g. we had an order that was ½ pepperoni,  ¼ mushroom and ¼ peppers that we drew out.

 

Magic Moments this week.

In our STEM lesson we tested our parachute and it worked!

What have you learned this week?

This week we have learned about the types of rainforest.  Now that we have learned this we can look at the life cycle of different animals that live there. Zoolab joined us and told us about rainforest animals.  In numeracy we have been taking away and adding money. Now that we have learned this we can calculate our bank books more easily.  In P.E. we have been learning about fitness with a Christmas theme.  We built a snowman it was fun and taught us about team work.

What have you enjoyed about your learning? In what ways did you learn?

This week we enjoyed making numeracy advent calendars.  We learned this by using our previous knowledge of the 4 operations, money and measure.

What are your next steps as a class?

We are now going to learn about the different animals that live on our planet and food chains.  In numeracy we will continue to learn about length and other forms of measure
