We have been learning how to round numbers to the nearest 100 and 10.  We have been learning to round numbers by using a rhyme:

Four or less let it rest

Five or more let it soar.

We have also been practicing how to count forwards and backwards to 100.

We have been learning about the real story of the 3 little pigs. Turns out the wolf is actually nice and the little pigs are mean to him because they didn’t give him sugar to make his Granny’s birthday cake.

We have been learning about the ‘ee’ sound. There are two different ways to make the sound: ‘ee’ and ‘ea’.

We are still learning about house and homes as our topic. We have been on a class walk to look at different house and homes. We saw lots of different things:

‘My dog’- Rosie

‘I saw a house with a for sale sign.’- Jamie

‘Jack asked the post lady some questions.’- Logan

‘I saw some semi-detached houses.’- Maisie

‘We saw a bungalow.’- Cody

We are looking forward to learning new things in our maths and topic. We are looking forward to learning some new sounds as well.

Hello everyone! This is what we had to say about our learning over the last couple of weeks:

As part of our Americas topic, we have been exploring Mexico.

Danielle – I learned that the Aztecs ate dogs!

Earlier this week, P5h went on a bike ride with Sustrans.

Lucy C – the bike ride we went on was really fun. I fell off a few times which wasn’t as good! I really enjoyed as it was a great experience for me to get out and ride my bike as I can’t do that in my street.

Aiden – I liked going on the bike ride because it was really fun and I was standing up on the pedals.

Ryan – I enjoyed the bike ride because it was good fun and it gave you more experience of nature. I tried really hard to go fast and got a bit distracted and nearly cycled into a pole!

Daniel – I liked the bike ride because I really enjoy cycling at my gran’s. It was great to go during the school day!

Ailis – I liked the bike ride as we had to try and find boxes which contained a surprise.

Evi – I won a box on the bike ride. Lucy C and I both picked matching water bottles which we got to take home.

We have been rehearsing hard for our P5-7 show.

Brandon – I really enjoy my part in the show. I’m playing a man who used to be in Smile.

Angus – it’s really fun to practice our show in the hall. I’m playing Freddie Mercury.

Sam – I enjoy practising the show as I get to play the air guitar on stage with Luka and Ryan W.

Evi – I play the manager of Queen in the show. I have a great part and I’m looking forward to throwing money into the audience!

Murray – My favourite thing this year is being a member of my dream band in the show. It’s a dream come true! I’ve always wanted to play Queen in a show and now it’s happening. I get to play Brian May who is the best guitarist in the world (apart from Slash!).

Ailis – I enjoy my part in the show as I get to work out on stage!

We can’t wait for you to see the results of all our hard work on the 10th October.

We have been continuing to learn lots of different sounds in literacy (n, r, m, d and e). Next week we are going to look at c and k! We have also been exploring different numbers in numeracy and found out more about numbers up to 10. Lots of us have been enjoying making the numbers with the numicon. We have also been learning all about our senses during our afternoons. Lots of us had great ideas and questions about how we could learn more about our senses.

We would like to share some of our learning with you:
