P4/5 are continuing to look at a problem a week to develop problem solving skills and thinking mathematically. This week, we revisited a problem we completed earlier in the year and tried a follow up challenge. Children had to read and understand, then formulate a plan to check what amounts would work, making sure they could prove they did not leave any out. This called for working systematically which was a bit challenging!

As part of our science IDL, we have been focussing on thee states of matter: solids, liquids and gasses. In our last experiment, we made a gas and trapped it in a balloon! This time, we investigated the melting point of chocolate to introduce melting as a changing state and wrote our science reports.
More sharing today, developing listening and talking skills. We very much enjoyed seeing and hearing about the Pokémon.
P4/5 are becoming experts at their rotations, smoothly transitioning between each activity. This morning we had:
Weekend News- to write a personal recount or in imagined personal recount, including WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE, thoughts and feelings and using adjectives effectively. Finger Gym- developing fine motor skills and strength in hands to develop their grip and control of a pencil when writing. Reading/ Partner Practice- reading new words with pace, using clues to understand new words, finding information to answer questions and using understanding of punctuation to read aloud with expression. |
