On the way to gym yesterday, Mason asked why the doors along the corridor were open when they should be shut as they are fire doors.\u00a0 Due to this, Mason, with the help of Liam, have been given the role of ‘Fire Door Wardens’ whenever we are moving around the school.\u00a0 Well done Mason – we definitely want to help keep everyone safe in our school.<\/p>\n

Happy new year from P5<\/p>\n

As an early finisher to our numeracy work today, Miss Hunter challenged us to make cube shapes using the ‘Happy Cubes’.\u00a0 These are foam jigsaw pieces that fit together exactly to make cubes.\u00a0 Well done to Malysha and Sophie who managed to use their problem solving skills and for having a growth mindset by not giving up after their first attempt \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

That looks really tricky!\u00a0 (From Mrs O’Driscoll)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

WKHUH\u00a0 DUH\u00a0 ORWV\u00a0 RI\u00a0 GLIIHUHQW\u00a0 FRGHV<\/p>\n

and we had to try and work it out.\u00a0 We did have a letter wheel to help us\u00a0but Miss Hunter\u00a0gave us\u00a0no clues at all.\u00a0 Lots of us managed to work it out, with Murron, McKinley, Olivia and Oli getting Head teacher’s awards for their teamwork in decoding the message.<\/p>\n

Very well done to you all!\u00a0 (From Mrs O’Driscoll)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

We have been revising how to use grid references to find specific positions on a grid.\u00a0 We took our learning outside this afternoon and used the school grounds to find letters that Miss Hunter had hidden.\u00a0 She gave us the grid reference and we had to find this on the map, before going to that place and finding the letter she had hidden.<\/p>\n

I like how you are applying the skills you learned at Dean Castle!\u00a0 (From Mrs O’Driscoll)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
