As we come in to the colder, and wetter, weather, could we remind all pupils to bring in a suitable gym kit for PE. Nothing fancy is required – just a pair of shorts and gym shoes or old trainers. If required kits can be left in school, in a suitable named bag.
Could we also remind everyone that it is East Ayrshire policy, that earrings and other items of jewellery cannot be worm during PE and must be removed before taking part.
P5IK GYM DAYS: Tuesday. Wednesday & Friday.
Welcome to the Primary 5 blog for the academic session 2023-2024. We hope you have now settled in and are looking forward to the year ahead!
Homework will be starting soon and will be due in on a Friday.
Other information regarding PE times and what we are learning about can be found by clicking the tabs above and these will be updated every term.
Thank you,
Team P5 🙂
Here’s a few shots of P5ia merrily making melodies with their string instruments.
Aren’t we lucky? We have two afternoons lined up for orienteering, so bring suitable outdoor shoes for walking. Trainers would be ideal.
Tuesday 2nd and Tuesday 9th May.
What do you get when you shake the living daylights out of a tub of double cream?
You get butter of course!
It’s all a State of Matter you see.
Why not ask your budding scientists how they did it?
Everyone had fun making their Christingles in time for advent – and were desperate to eat them 🤣

This grid provides different activities to help learners practise their times tables in different ways. We recommend using 2-3 activities a week for each times table, however if you wish to do more then that is great. Your teacher will let you know which times table to practise each week.
There are also fun online games to help improve the speed of your times tables recall, such as Topmarks ‘Hit the Button’ and ‘Daily 10’.
Have fun!
Primary 4 have been learning how to stay safe when online and our school frequently share top tips to help us. Here are 2 tips we have recently discussed:
All P4 classes have created a charter with ideas on how to be safe and smart when using Teams. These charters will be on your class Teams page.
This year P4 will be learning the Scots poem ‘The Crocodile’ by J.K Annand to celebrate Robert Burns’s birthday.
We expect all learners to engage with the poem and attempt to read it to an audience (this does not have to be the whole class, it could be a small group or individual) by Friday 4th February. There will be an opportunity for learners to put their name forward for the whole school Burns poem competition and one winner will be chosen from each class. These learners will then participate in the whole school competition.
Here is a copy of the poem:
Here is a link to a video which helps explains how to perform a poem:
How to perform poetry – BBC Teach
This information will also be available on your Teams page as well as a video of your class teacher performing the poem.
We are looking forward to seeing your performances and hearing your fantastic Scots!
