Moy Regional Primary School

P5

P5 had great fun playing Block Adventure. They had to choose a card with a subtraction sum on it, when they completed the sum and got it correct, they got to choose a Lego brick from our Lego tub. After collecting a variety of Lego pieces, pupils then had to choose whether they wanted to build something with their own Lego blocks, or team up in a group to build with all of their pieces combined. Check out the pictures to see our brilliant Lego builds.

End of term treats

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

We completed word building by adding suffix letters to our spellings to form other related words.

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 had a recent visit from Dungannon fire service, when we learned all about fire safety in the home.

We matched linking homophone words to form pairs. We also thought about how their meanings differed and matched the word cards to the correct meaning.

We learned about the homophones words: there, their and they’re by adding the word cards to complete the sentences.

We wore odd socks to school today to remind us that it is ok to be different from everyone else.

You are the best person at being you and by being yourself, you add something unique and wonderful to this world that no one else can bring.

We practised reading protractor scales to find the size of these given angles to the nearest 10 and 5 degrees.

We used the numbers gameboard to select numbers to double.
We also used double ice-cream cards to practise doubling 2 digit numbers mentally.

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 designed these beautiful witches’ hats as part of our Halloween craft.

We enjoyed making delicious chocolate apples for Halloween.

The smell of chocolate in our classroom was so lovely.

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!

Some activities we have been completing to practise recognising and showing the 5 minute interval times in analogue and digital form.

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 practised the number facts for making 20.

We used picture sets of 5 to revise what the x5 tables actually means. We placed the correct number of sets of 5 on our desks to demonstrate the called x5 table.

We matched the sets of 5 pictures with the corresponding x5 sum label.

It was fun to jump along the multiples of 5 number line on the floor to practise this number sequence.

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.

We worked together to build a Nouns Mind Map

Sorting successfully and unsuccessful examples of tessellating patterns.

We formed tessellating patterns using a variety of 2D shapes to find out which shapes would form tessellations successfully.

We worked together to build a Nouns Mind Map which can help us to learn about different types of nouns and develop our awareness of examples of these words.

We designed repeating patterns using equilateral and isosceles triangles.

We grouped our spellings to show example words with the different letter combinations which can be used to spell the ‘ee’ sound.

We went hunting for nouns in the forest as part of our learning in Literacy.

Along with our knowledge of the alphabet, we used our understanding of the rules to help us to successfully order these word lists alphabetically.

We used this Active Maths gameboard to practise adding and taking away 100 from 3 digit numbers.

We explored the different reasons for using capital letters throughout our Literacy text. We shaded the words different colours to indicate why they need a capital.

We ticked the grid words to show those that must be written with a capital and sorted the word cards into different capitals categories. Well done all!
