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.  It was finally the day for the Ceilidh! Everyone has been working so hard over the last five weeks learning the six dances and it really paid off. They were all fantastic! They remembered the moves, took part in every dance with positivity and they were so respectful to themselves and each other, the other classes in the hall and the instructors. They also had great fun :) I could not be prouder of them, more importantly they should be proud of themselves. |
