P5B Week Beginning 2nd September 2024

Hello families of P5B!

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

Moseez and Daniel liked playing dodge ball during PE with Mr Pentland.

Ksawery and Nathan loved their session with ‘Destination Judo’.  Information leaflets of classes (with free trails) where sent home.

Alex has been enjoying mindfulness colouring in during Choosing Our Own Learning time.

Aayush said the highlight of his week was playing ‘Number Nap’.  This game can be used for any learning context but we used it to revise P4 learning of Time.

Ella liked our lesson on Prediction with Inference.  The children had 2 book covers to examine and using the clues on the cover, had to guess what the story may have been about.  The 2 titles we looked at were, ‘Peaceful Private’ and ‘Northern Lights’.  It was interesting to hear the different conclusions that were reached and why.  The ‘why’ was important.  The children had to put in to words why they came up with those conclusions.

Aaeryn-Leigh liked our lessons on procedure writing.  We started off examining writing of this genre and making observations on the layout.  We then wrote a procedure piece together as a class followed up with the children deciding upon and writing their own piece.  The use of a thesaurus was encouraged to up level vocabulary.  Mrs Brown was impressed with how one replaced replaced ‘dig a hole in the soil’ with ‘hallow out some soil’ (Nicolas) and how another used one of our Word Boost words(Addison). P5 will be working hard his year to up level the vocabulary in their writing.

Michael has continued to enjoy listening to our class novel.

My highlight was the Destination Judo session.  It was great to see the children work together to complete the different sequence of movements as well as having good fun!

Congratulations to our hot chocolate award winner, Aayush!

I hope you enjoy the weekend.

Just a reminder that next week is a short week, with the children finishing up on Thursday at 3.20pm and returning on Wednesday.
