The P5s participated in Outdoor Learning this week 😀 Here are some photos of them learning outside!
Counting: Squiggleworth - I can partition a 2dp / 3dp number.
Write the number
Draw the sticks
Copy the ones digit
Copy the tenths digit .. with 'zero-point' in front of it
Copy the hundredths digit .. with 'zero-point-zero' in front of it
You can use this website to help you understand:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQ24L3R9bx
Challenge: You can try 2dp examples: 2.56 or even 3dp numbers: 3.884
Give them a go!
Learn Its:
I can count in 9s. We are learning the 9 times table.

It's Nothing New: Smile Multiplication - I can write smile multiplication fact families.
Copy the 'Smile Multiplication' fact
Write the switcher
Bring the product to the front, change the symbol and write the 2 switchers.
Example: 30x7=210, 7x30=210, 210/30 = 7, 210/7=30.
Try: 6x80 and complete the rest of the fact family for this.
Challenge: Try multiplying by a 3 digit number. For example: 4x600 and write the fact family for this.
Calculations: Addition: I can solve 3d + 3d sums.
Add the hundreds
Add the tens
Add the ones
Add the totals
Example: 241+321
200+300 = 500
40+20 = 60
1+8 = 9
Total: 569
Challenge: Challenge yourself to the Brain Method if you have mastered the Full and Abridged Methods!
Or, try any 3d + 3d number!

Counting: Counting Along
I can still count along when there are no lines.
100 - - - 200
The dashes are the increments - what would the numbers be at these increments if you know they are between 100 and 200?
Challenge: what are the 3 increments between 1000 and 2000 and what about 20, 000 and 30, 000?
You could try your own ones too.

Find 20 lots by multiplying 2 lots by 10
Find 50 lots by multiplying 5 lots by 10
Find 100 lots by multiplying 10 lots by 10
Example: 32 x 1, 32 x 2, 32 x 5, 32 x 10, 32 x 20, 32 x 50, 32 x 100
Calculations: Subtraction
I can take 100 from any 3d number.
Show the gap from 100 to the target number on a number line.
Jump to 100 by taking 1 off the target number's hundreds digit.
Example: 682 - 100 = 582
100 _____________ 682
Answer: 582

It's Nothing New: Where's Mully?
Example: Mully is hiding behind the biggest multiple of 6 without going past 80. So, where's Mully?
80
60 ___ 20
78
Calculations: Division: I can combine 2 or more Tables Facts to solve division (with remainders) (2, 3, 4, 5x tables)
Example: Mully is hiding behind the largest multiple of 5 without going past 61.
Answer: 15 remainder 1.
60 is the largest multiple of 5 without going past 61. So, the answer is 15 r 1.

Term 1 Overview
Literacy
We will focus on sentence structure and openers in term 1. We will follow the writing scheme 'CYPIC' where the children will write 3 times a week for 20 minutes a day and 5 minutes editing time.
Children will get one spelling sound a week and we will follow our spelling carousel which includes, introducing the sound, diacritical marking, elkonin boxes, silly sentences and a test on a Friday.
We will continue to follow the reflective reading scheme and do two long reads (book related comprehension) a week and one short read (comprehension relating to a topic, interest or anything else) a week.
Numeracy
We will focus on 2D and 3D shape, patterns and relationships and Maths Week Scotland will be from 22nd - 28th September.
Children will be looking at vocab such as, sides, faces, vertices and edges. Naming more complex shapes and looking at angles in 2D shapes.
We will be looking at patterns and relationships, with a specific focus on number patterns. With a mix of looking at ready created ones, finding out what the pattern is, continuing it on and making our own number patterns.
HWB
We will focus on mental health and wellbeing and our emotions.
We have already introduced our emotional check-in which children complete every morning and can change throughout the day.
We will also have a focus on our mental health, ways we can help improve our mental health, what mental health is and much more!
We will have RADS every Tuesday and P.E with Mrs Forbes every Wednesday.
Science
We will be looking at Biodiversity and
Interdependence.
This will include looking at things such as -
Living vs non living things.
Growing plants - what they need, how to look after them, recording daily what they are doing, how much it grows, weather impacts.
Vocab - mammal, amphibian, insect, bird, reptile
Food chains.
Energy sources
and sustainability
Types of energy that we get from different energy sources, for example, light, sound, heat and electrical.
Different energy sources, sun, food, fuel, wind and waves, to discuss the importance of different types of energy for everyday life and survival.
Cross Curricular
Our first topic this term is Caring Citizens which gives us an opportunity to get to know each other, our learning styles, needs, abilities, work on friendship making and building and creating structures, routines and our UNCRC Class Charters.
We will then move onto Historical where we will be looking at Egyptians!

It's Nothing New: Jigsaw Numbers: Step 3 (adding to 100)/ 4 (adding to 1000)
Example - 66 + ? = 100
747 + ? = 1000
For adding to 100 - Remember units always add to 10 and tens always add 9
For adding to 1000 - Remember units always add to 10, tens always add to 9 and hundreds always add to 9
Calculations: Addition- Step 28 - I can solve 3d and 3d numbers / I can solve any 3d + 3d sum.
Example: 352 + 234 =
300 + 200 = 500
50 + 30 = 80
2+4 = 6
Total = 586
Any: 888 + 272 =
800 + 200 = 1000
80+70 = 150
8+2 = 10
Total = 1160
