Our #WordOfTheWeek this week is ‘ephemeral’. Ask us what it means and if we can use it in a sentence! #WordAware #NewVocabulary #Literacy #WordRap #P7Team 😊

This morning in P5 we practiced our coding skills. We got hands-on with micro:bits, programming them to react to different noise levels 🎶🔊. From quiet whispers to loud claps, our code displayed different images 💻⚡

We managed a dry and sunny ☀️ Daily Mile in between the showers today! #brainbreak #walk #run #jog #fun #friends #chat #hwb #catchup #checkin

We read a scene from Chapter 32 where Bradley is surrounded by the other boys. We practised and performed this scene in groups using the text to see what the characters say and do. #literacy #classnovel #drama #perform #dialogue #reading

We launched our new topic ‘Africa’ yesterday. While the music was on we had to search for jigsaw 🧩 pieces to complete each image and then link these images together to guess the theme! #IDL #topic #Africa #launch #MTV #think #puzzle #explore #bigquestions #littlequestions

We used the scene from yesterday to create a storyboard detailing the main events. We used pictures, speech, description and phrases from the text, as well as the thoughts of characters! #classnovel #literacy #reading #mainidea #summarising #understanding #comprehension

As a class reward for getting all the smirks in the jaur, we enjoyed an exciting visit to meet the school gerbils, Moon and Snowy.
