And we’re getting our heart rates pumping with Go Noodle!

We ❤️ @GoNoodle. It gets our heart rate up when we want to be motivated & calms us when we need to relax. #5thClass pic.twitter.com/hpmF5SQMVY

Our IWB is one of our favourite things in our room!

Word problems on the IWB for maths. Our captains are flat out figuring out the sums! #5thClass pic.twitter.com/CVWeJOOv8P

— St. Peter's Primary (@StPetersBray) September 13, 2016

This is how we solve problems!

The 'sum of' the questions are ALTOGETHER addition! RUCSAC helps us with our problem solving. #5thClass pic.twitter.com/k1UbaRmjXh

We have started our FAB (Film and Book) Club in 5th Class too!

Our #5thClass have started our FAB (Film and Book) programme. We are doing a comparison on the opening of The Witches book v the film.

— St. Peter's Primary (@StPetersBray) September 16, 2016

We are going to tweet the differences so far between the book and the film! #5thClass

— St. Peter's Primary (@StPetersBray) September 16, 2016

1. In the film Luke says he built the treehouse with his Dad. In the book he said it was with his friend Timmy. #5thClass

— St. Peter's Primary (@StPetersBray) September 16, 2016

2. In the book he is just called 'Boy'. In the film the boy's name is Luke! That is a big difference! #5thClass

— St. Peter's Primary (@StPetersBray) September 16, 2016

3. The narrator in the book is the boy. In the film it is the Granny. #5thClass

— St. Peter's Primary (@StPetersBray) September 16, 2016

4. In the film it suggests Luke lived in America. In the book he lives in England (or Inkland as the Grand High Witch calls it!) #5thClass

— St. Peter's Primary (@StPetersBray) September 16, 2016

5. In the film Granny gets diabetes. In the book she got pneumonia. #5thClass

— St. Peter's Primary (@StPetersBray) September 16, 2016

We worked on our comprehension strategies too!

We are *making connections*. The plans that Luke draws out are like the maps that Kevin makes in Home Alone! #5thClass

— St. Peter's Primary (@StPetersBray) September 16, 2016

Ms. Mooney has joined us and will be working with us for four weeks!

It's the start of another little adventure in #5thClass! Ms. Mooney will be here working with us for four weeks.

We’re all working hard on our expression when reading!

.#5thClass are using echo reading to help with expression. Here is a recording using an extract from 'The Witches' https://t.co/9bDuGohqKL

We’ve been busy! We love being back in school.
