P5H have been talking lots about different strategies we use with mental maths. This is today's Number of the Day.

Spelling this week: -ves. We used dictionaries today to look up the meanings of our words before using them in sentences.

Common words this week. Spelling lists for the term were put in schoolbags last week. 😊🎒

Sumdog tasks for revision have been set. I can see that the 6, 7, 8 and 9 times tables would be a particularly useful focus. 😊🐶🪙

Spelling this week: common words.

School disco slips have been put in bags today. (Disco is on Friday 20th March.) 🎒💃🏻🕺🏾💃🏼🕺🏼

Spelling for this week: -ing.

We’ve been creating our own individual word mats to support our writing. Ask about what we included in ours. 💭 ✍️ 📖

Our final slot for the book fair is tomorrow. Thank you for any completed forms confirming online payments for orders. 📖 🌟

We have been creating our own Esti-mysteries to develop our estimating and reasoning skills. Here is one our classmates have made. Pause and read the clues. Justify why you have/haven’t changed your answer. 💭

We have been looking at maps of our local area and researching local landmarks. Ask us what we have researched! We have Sharing Our Learning on a Friday if anyone has wanted to explore this at home too.

We have many in P5H who love reading the ‘Tom Gates’ books. We joined a Scholastic Live Event, ahead of World Book Day, with Liz Pichon. We enjoyed the draw-along - pictures to follow!📕 ✍️ @missmorrison-wps.bsky.social

I have been setting revision tasks on Sumdog. Well done to those who have started/completed these. You can choose from: Place Value, Fractions, Times Tables & Division and Money.

We have been looking at different strategies that help us with dividing. Some of us use our times tables knowledge, some of us have spotted patterns in the 100 square. This person was able to teach others how to find a fraction of an amount using this visual.👏 🌟

Some of us decided to make fractions questions for others to answer. Pause and try at home! This one includes a decimal fraction (spicier challenge)!

Well done P5H! A tremendous effort learning our Scots poem this year! Thank you for your efforts at home too. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🌟

Very impressed with our ideas for Morning Task!

We have been exploring fractions this week. Lego was used as a visual to help us understand fractions.

The P5 Christmas Party is in the afternoon tomorrow. We will make sure they have time to change into party clothes after lunch. Looking forward to a fun filled afternoon! ⭐️💃🏻💃🏼🎄🕺🏼🕺🏾

P5H were feeling very jolly and festive on our Joint Jolly Jingle Jaunt! ⭐️🎄🔔🎶🤩

P5 are taking part in the Joint Jolly Jingle Jaunt tomorrow afternoon. We hope to spread some festive cheer and joy in our local area. Please dress for the weather, it is looking dry but a bit chilly. Christmas hats/headbands/jumpers and jingle bells can be used for this event. 😁⭐️

P5H are definitely feeling festive!

We took part in BBC Authors Live with Frank Cottrell Boyce. We learned about his writing journey and his perspective on what it is like behind the camera as a screenwriter! @missmorrison-wps.bsky.social

For Book Week Scotland we read “My Name is a Gift” by Zeshan Akhter and researched interesting things about our own names. @missmorrison-wps.bsky.social

A wee reminder of the dress down day tomorrow.

What a great day our superheroes had for Children in Need! Details of where to donate online, if you are able to, can be found in an email. Some really inspiring stories behind the outfits chosen.

In P.E. we have been working on hand-eye coordination and using controlled movements.

We have also been using this interactive demonstrator to help us understand place value and decimal fractions.

Many have asked me to share this game we used when working with decimal numbers on a number line.

Some of us wanted to share our creative ways of revising our times tables. We’ve been using specific skills set on Sumdog too! 😁

We’ve been working hard, building on our place value knowledge as we work with decimal fractions. We had creative ideas of how to demonstrate our understanding. 🌟👏😁
