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!

Hello everyone,

P4M would like to update you with our learning.

J would like to tell you about how we have been learning Mandarin! We have been learning colour words. We have video lessons via teams. L thinks learning about Mandarin is pretty cool.  H is enjoying Mandarin where we have used our understanding to colour pandas and butterflies.  T knows that hei se is black and bai se is white.

B would like to tell you we made some turkeys when we were learning about Thanksgiving.  M would like to tell you we have been learning about Diwali.  E would like to tell you about the Guy Fawkes night poem we wrote using our cursive handwriting.  Remember, remember the 5th of November.  For Halloween, we celebrated by taking part in some spooky numeracy activities. N would like to tell you we have been learning all of this because our topic is festivals.

L would like to tell you about the rockets we made.  We then wrote Sci-Fi genre stories about them.

R would like to tell you about our fairy tale genre writing.  Her story was about an elf, a fairy and a wizard.

E would like to talk about maths.  We have been learning about telling the time.

M has been enjoying learning about the different things you can do on Microsoft teams.  K has been enjoying learning about this too,

A has been enjoying the NYCOS lessons in music.  NYCOS stands for the National Youth Choir of Scotland.
