Primary 5 took part in a Solar System Scavenger Hunt around the class. They hunted for clues around the room to help them answer tricky questions about the Solar System.
 
Did you know it takes 8 minutes for light from the sun to reach Earth?
Have a look at our class overview for Term 3. A very busy term ahead planned for P5!

Primary 5 had great fun celebrating their first whole class reward. Pupils chose a class game of hide and seek. We have some very gifted hiders in P5. They were very difficult to find!
Primary 5 are not long a way from achieving their next class reward. I wonder what they’ll choose?

As part of our focus on Scots language, P5 will be learning a poem called “Oor Wullie”. If pupils would like to, they can put themselves forward for the school Burns competition where 3 finalists from each stage would compete in front of the school. Pupils do not have to put themselves forward for the competition however, all pupils should try to learn as much as they can to perform it in front of the class. Pupils have a copy of the poem to read at home. During class time we will be practising the poem, projecting our voice and adding suitable actions and expressions. If possible, please practise the poem at home.
Thank you for your continued support!
Please see below for a copy of the poem.
Oor Wullie
Fair fa’ your rosy-cheekit face,
Your muckle buits, wi’ broken lace,
Although you’re always in disgrace,
An’ get your spanks,
In all our hearts ye have your place,
Despite your pranks.
Your towsy heid, your dungarees,
Your wee snub nose, your dirty knees,
Your knack o’ seeming tae displease
Your Maw an’ Paw.
We dinna care a tuppenny sneeze
We think you’re braw.
You’re wee, an’ nae twa ways aboot it,
You’re wise, wi’ very few tae doot it,
You’re wild, there’s nane that wad dispute it,
Around the toon. But maist o a’ ye are reputit
A lauchin’ loon.
Weel-kent, weel-liked, you’re aye the same,
Tae Scots abroad and Scots at hame.
North, south, east, west, your weel-won fame
Shall never sully.
We’ll aye salute that couthie name:
Oor Wullie.
Welcome back everybody. I hope you all had a lovely break with plenty of opportunities for rest and relaxation!
Instead of setting New Year’s Resolutions, we made a 2020 positivity chart. These are designed to pick us up on the days when we’re maybe feeling a little bit down. The pupils came up with lots of fantastic positive qualities and encouraging phrases.
Also a big well done to Amber who received a Head Teacher’s Award in the last week of December for outstanding effort in numeracy!
As part of our festive fun we enjoyed a Christmas movie afternoon. We got all comfy with our blankets and cushions and enjoyed “The Grinch”.
We all danced the afternoon away at our P5/6 Christmas party. What a lot of fantastic movers we have in P5!
