P5

Christmas has arrived in P5. Mrs Foster had some great helpers helping to decorate our class Christmas tree.

P5 enjoyed investigating Arabic, the language spoken in Egypt. They found some words in Arabic and used Google Translate to learn how to say some words and phrases in Arabic.

We have been learning all about Egypt as part of our WAU topic. In class, we made an Egyptian Bucket List of places we would like to visit if we ever went to Egypt. Everyone had great fun researching this online.

P5 enjoyed their second Hot Chocolate Friday, even Mrs Foster got a Friday treat too!

We all enjoyed practicing our subtraction skills by playing the subtraction bowling game

We have been working on function machines, we made up our own function machines online to play. We also enjoyed being teacher for the day, making up our own function machine worksheet, giving it to a friend to complete, then marking it.

During our work on fractions, we investigated different ways of representing a half 

Halloween fun in P5

We all enjoyed our hot chocolate treat this morning, thank you to the parent support group for providing it for us!

P5 have been working very hard and showing excellent behaviour to fill up their jar to get a class reward. After filling the jar, everyone enjoyed decorating Halloween themed buns. Well done P5, all your hard work and super behaviour has paid off!

Geraldine from Aware NI came out to school this morning to Key Stage 2 to deliver the My Mind and Me programme, talking about mental health. Geraldine taught us the five steps to wellbeing - to connect, be active, give, keep learning and take notice. Everyone enjoyed this interactive and informative workshop.

We have started off with work on place value in Numeracy this year. We have been using some practical methods in class to help us with our learning.

In Literacy we have been looking at the story ‘Tiger Dead, Tiger Dead’. We did some hot-seating in class, where we pretended to be the characters of Tiger and Anansi, answering questions as if we were the characters from the story.
