Welcome to P5N’s page!
Reading Homework:
Each week, reading homework will be given. Below you will see which pages your child is meant to read:
| Group Name: | Book Name: | Homework: | Due: |
| Cats | Theft in Space | Finish Book | 17/04/2025 |
| Sheepdogs | Frankie’s Magic Football | Chapters 1 & 2 | 17/04/2025 |
| Pigeons | Making a Stand | Finish Book | 17/04/2025 |
| Deer | New book after hols. | ||
| Foxes | New book after hols. |
Reciprocal reading- take turns to read a page each, both following the book;
Reading and Talking- Pupil reads a few pages, then both discuss what has happened (i.e. about characters, setting, plot etc.)
The main focus is that pupils read the books aloud. This helps with fluency, expression and understanding the use of punctuation.
Soundtrap & Spotify
P5N are officially famous! Our fantastic work with John and Roo using Soundtrap has been published on Spotify. Click the link attached to listen to their incredible work. This is normally only done with P7 (or P6), so the pupils should be incredibly proud of what they have learned and produced. Once you have clicked the Spotify logo below, scroll down until you find our 3 podcasts: The Chatterbox Radio, Radio Fish and CACEC Radio.
We all hope you enjoy listening! 
Happy New Year!
Happy new year to all our pupils and their families. I hope you had a super time over the festive period and are ready for a busy term ahead. Attached to this post soon, will be our Term 3 Learning Sheet, detailing what we will be learning over the next 12 weeks.
‘Guess the Square’ Competition
We are running a competition to raise funds for the school.
If your child would like to take part in this competition, squares are £1 each and they will be on sale during the school day from Monday 2nd December until Friday 13th December (or until all squares are sold!)
The winning square will receive a Children’s Christmas stocking.
Pupils from P4M and P5/4M will come round each class every day to sell squares.
Many thanks for your continued support
P5N Enterprise
Our class, alongside P5/4M, are making our own personally designed 2025 calendars and sweetie bags which can be ordered in time for Christmas presents! All you need to do is fill in the form that your child brings home this week and return it and the money by Friday 6th December.
Calendars are £3.00 each
Sweetie bags are £1.50 each

Soundtrap! *Please see posts below for Termly Overview etc.*
Pupils have completed their first sessions on Soundtrap! They have started making some music and understanding how the software works! Pupils can access their accounts at home and can make some new music with you! Have a look at Soundtrap.
Term 2- Welcome back!
Welcome back everyone! I hope you had a super holiday. Please see below our plans for Term 2. We are excited to welcome John Dinning from the Dumfries and Galloway Council- Youth Music Initiative into class. John will be using a programme called Soundtrap to allow the pupils to create their own music through technology. It is a super programme and there may be a very exciting way of sharing our creations with you all- watch this space!
Homework!
Please see below information on homework.
Spelling:
Spelling homework should be complete weekly. Each unit lasts 2 weeks. One week should be an activity from the grid (see below) and one on Sumdog. See the homework pack for hand-in dates.

I’m a P5…Get Me Out of Here!
Pupils have been learning about our senses through our I’m a Celeb themed topic! Our campmates have had loads of fun so far! We have completed our ‘Eye Spy’, ‘H’ear’ing Test’ and ‘What’s that Smell!?’ bushtucker trials so far. After the October break, we will finish our final trials and see who is King or Queen of the jungle!
