Hello everyone!<\/p>\n
Welcome to our first blog of Primary 5. Here is a little snapshot of our learning so far…<\/p>\n
In Numeracy, we have been working hard to round numbers to the nearest 10, 100 and 1000. We have then been using these rounded numbers to solve tricky sums mentally.<\/p>\n
I feel really confident rounding numbers now \u2013 Murray<\/p>\n
I enjoyed rounding in Numeracy as it made adding sums much easier \u2013 Travis<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We have also been practising telling the time on an analogue clock. Some of us found this tricky at first, but we have been working hard to improve.<\/p>\n
I feel really confident telling the time now \u2013 Ryan<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve enjoyed learning how to tell the time a bit better \u2013 Lucy C<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve enjoyed spending time with Miss Hesp. I\u2019m getting much better at telling the time \u2013 Ailis<\/p>\n

This week we were lucky enough to watch a live performance of \u2018The Railway Children\u2019 in the hall. Here are some of our thoughts:<\/p>\n
I liked the pantomime of The Railway Children as I\u2019d never seen that show before and it was very creative \u2013 Lucy C<\/p>\n
I liked The Railway Children because it was funny. Some of the actors played more than one part \u2013 Aiden<\/p>\n
I liked The Railway Children as I\u2019d never seen it before either and it was really good – Ryan<\/p>\n
I really enjoyed The Railway Children as it was a very good story \u2013 Brandon<\/p>\n
Parts of The Railway Children were quite dark but everything worked out OK in the end. I enjoyed the performance – Murray<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Our first topic in P5 is The Americas. So far on our journey we have explored the landscapes and wildlife of Canada and the USA, as well as some famous landmarks. We have also begun to look at Maya culture from Central America.<\/p>\n
I enjoyed learning about Canada in our Americas topic. My favourite Canadian animal is a bear \u2013 Olivia<\/p>\n
I have enjoyed Art in P5. My favourite was making Inukshuk pictures in the style of Ted Harrison – Darcie<\/p>\n
I enjoyed making Maya masks yesterday. I got to be really creative with it \u2013 Alice<\/p>\n
Some final comments:<\/p>\n
I got my new Pupil Council today. I went up on stage and got it in front of the whole school \u2013 Angus<\/p>\n
I have liked everything we\u2019ve done in P5! \u2013 Daniel<\/p>\n
We hope you have enjoyed reading about the fantastic learning that has been going on in our classroom!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
