P5 - Mr Dunlop

Welcome to P5D. As you scroll through the sections below, you will see the fabulous work we have been doing in P5. In Numeracy we have been learning place value, addition and subtraction with exchange, telling the time, 2D shapes, tessellation and symmetry. In Literacy the children have been writing their own acrostic poems about Ancient Egypt. In World Around Us the children have loved our topic and have enjoyed learning about mummification, pyramids, obelisks and much more.

During Maths Week the children took part in several Escape The Room activities. The children had to solve math problems to give them a code to escape the room. As you can see from the photos the children had a great time solving these problems and getting a chocolate coin from the treasure chest once they had solved the problems.

The children's work is proudly displayed around the classroom and in the corridor. The children have shown excellent creativity and artistic ability, producing paper mache canopic jars, clay obelisks, acrostic poems and model shadufs that were used to collect water from the River Nile.
