This morning we had our Level 1 First Aid training. We learned about how to respond in an emergency, how to help someone who has asthma or is choking, and how to put someone into the recovery position. To see more pictures, have a look on our class page on GLOW.

This morning we had Kodaly. In kodaly we learn lots of songs and play different games that help to develop rhythm.

Today we worked hard in P.E to earn long rope skipping badges. It was a challenge but lots of badges were earned. Everyone managed to jump in and out of the rope when it was turning and some even managed to do 50 skips with a turn and touch the ground!

Here are some photos of us learning about money. In this challenge, we were given bags of money and had to calculate how much we had. We had to think carefully about how to organise the coins and notes so that we could add them up accurately without missing any or getting muddled. We also set up a shop in class and took it in turns to be the shop keeper and customer. We had to calculate change.

Before Christmas we researched different countries and compared them Scotland. We considered the similarities and differences between school, food, transport, and weather in the two countries. We created SWAY PowerPoints on GLOW to show what we had learnt. We then presented our findings to our class.

Welcome back!

I hope that you all had a lovely Christmas break. Primary 5 worked so hard on their wrapping paper and Christmas decorations before the holidays! To see more pictures please visit our GLOW class page.

In class we have been focusing on using different strategies to solve addition problems. We have been working in pairs to show our thinking and explain which strategies work well for each problem that we are given. We have been using lots of concrete materials such as cubes, tens and units and number squares to help us show our thinking.

Welcome to our class blog! Here we will post pictures of our learning in class and occasionally some links to games and websites that could be useful to us. Please feel free to leave us a comment, we love to hear what our friends and family think!
