P5B Week Beginning 26th August 2024

Hello families of P5B!

Here are our highlights this week as recorded by the Blue table:

Anthony and Sean enjoyed playing Counting Cowboys!  This game involved shooting the answer to your partner while wearing a cowboy hat and pointing a water pistol (I have told the class that one day when they least expect it, water will be in the pistols!).  We played the game to revise some of the maths learning from P4.

Georgia and Amelia said the highlight of their week was when Mr Pentland took the class and the children played SumDog.  P5 SumDog logins, along with any others needed for homework (starting on Monday) will be issued on Monday.  Please keep these in a safe place.

Flynn and Scott LOVED the M&M production of The Railway Children.

Haadiya liked our learning on the ‘ea’ sound.  We practised our spreading skills, linked to this sound (spread on bread) with cherry and blackcurrant game and blew feathers in the air, having to say a ‘ea’ word in between breathes.

Nicolas also enjoyed blowing the feathers.

Olek liked learning about the Ten Commandments.  His writing of them on stone templates was chosen to go on the alter.  Well done Olek!

Addison liked joining in with the song that introduced the ‘ea’ sound.  We learned that it can be pronounced 3 different ways but we were just focusing on one of them this week.  Here is a link to the song in case your child wants to hear it again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDH0DOi9eHM

My highlight was our learning about the Ten Commandments.  This learning was not planned for this week but through some twists and turns, led to a discussion about it.  The children asked if they could find out more about God’s rules for our lives.  We had some in depth, meaningful discussion.

Congratulations to our hot chocolate award winner, Nathan!  Amelia also won it last week.  Well done you too!

I hope you manage to enjoy some of the lovely sun due this weekend
