Mobile Library Visit
We enjoyed another visit to the mobile library today.
We returned the books that we had borrowed on our last visit and chose a new book to enjoy in class.
Look at our excited faces. We LOVE to read in Primary 4/5.
Mobile Library Visit
Today we were very excited to have an opportunity to choose a book from East Ayrshire’s mobile library van. Mrs Sweeney organised this visit for us as part of our journey to become a Reading School.
We were amazed by the selection of books in the van. Everyone took their time to look at the covers, read the blurbs and then help each other to choose. These books will stay in school.
Afterwards, we spent some time in the shelter exploring our books and sharing the titles we had chosen with each other. We can’t wait for our next visit and to choose another book in a couple of weeks time.
Numeracy Open Afternoon
Thank you to all our parents and grandparents who joined us for a fun open afternoon.
We took part in lots of challenging activities and the whole class enjoyed sharing their learning.
Well done to our parents who took part in our Buzz starter activity,they were put to the test with their 4x table knowledge .
After reading chapter 2 of Danny and the Champion of the World, we learned that Danny and his dad liked to make and fly kites.
We were inspired to learn about the science behind why kites fly. 
We decided to test out some of our research and make 2 different styles of kites. We then predicted which kites would be the best at flying. We went out to the playground to test our theories.
We had lots of fun running to get enough wind to launch our kites in to the air. Ask us all about what kites worked the best.
We have had an exciting couple of weeks back at school. Lots of active learning and collaborative activities.
We have been working in partners to practise our spelling using dictation. We love supporting each other by peer assessing our work.
In numeracy we have been learning to round numbers and estimate values. We have played lots of games to consolidate our understanding. We have also been practising our 4x table and looking for patterns to help improve our speed and accuracy.
