It has been a busy few weeks. The class timetable has changed, Mrs Dalziel is teaching on Tuesdays. The P5 classes are also getting golf lessons on Tuesdays, so PE is now on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

In Science we have been learning about sound. This week we learnt that sound vibrations can travel through solids, liquids and gases, but not in space. The class made string telephones in pairs and tested them out in different ways to see how well the sound can travel along the string.

This term our topic is ‘Time Detectives’. This week we learnt about Alexander Graham Bell and how he came to invent the telephone. We looked at pictures of different telephones and how they have changed. Next week we will make a timeline of showing the evolution of the telephone.

In celebration of Burns Night, P3-5 pupils learnt about Robert Burns in assembly with Mrs Dalziel. P5M then spent time reading ‘To A Mouse’ and in groups performed a verse for the rest of the class. Everyone worked hard and put in a lot of effort to nail the Scots accent and speak loudly and clearly so everyone could hear. The results were excellent, especially given the short amount of preparation time. Well done!
