We’ve had another busy week in class this week! Here is what we’ve been up to:

In literacy, we have been learning how to write information leaflets and have created leaflets on how to be a good friend. This also challenged the pupils to include their knowledge from health and wellbeing as well as use the relevant skills for writing. We also explored the “oo” phoneme and looked at it’s representations before completing our spelling test today.

In maths, we have continued to explore measure and have focused on the accuracy of our measurements. The pupils are getting better at this and have made some significant improvements. We also learned how to convert measurements from centimetres to metres and centimetres eg 113cm= 1m 13cm.

In health and wellbeing, we have enjoyed learning about relationships and how to have positive relationships with other people. Pupils understand that positive relationships can affect their own mental wellbeing and can describe the difference between healthy and unhealthy relationships.

For Disney this week, we continued to practice our song “One by One” and nearly know it all off by heart! We also learned a new dance section for “Just Can’t Wait to be King” which the pupils really enjoyed. We are all really excited to get our roles and start learning our lines!

P5 had an exciting opportunity for STEM as we got to visit a dairy farm to investigate how the cows were looked after and the milking process. All of our pupils had a fantastic time and enjoyed learning lots of information about the farm and agriculture. Click on the sway to see our photos:

As always, thanks for your support at home. Have a great weekend!

Here are some things we have been getting up to this week.

Happy Friday!

P5 have had a spooktacular couple of weeks back after the October holidays and it was lovely to see all the pupils again after the break. Here is an overview of our week.

In literacy, we had the challenge of writing a collaborative Halloween story with P4S and P6. P4S wrote the beginning paragraph of the story and set the scene and P5 had the task of continuing the story. We had to make sure it followed the theme of the beginning and that it had action to move the story forward. P6 then had to write an appropriate ending. The pupils loved this task and it was good fun to see the finished results! We will be focusing on proof reading and self correcting.

In maths, P5 began looking at measuring length. In groups, pupils had to use a variety of equipment such as tape measures, metre sticks and trundle wheels to measure the length of different objects and justify their choice of equipment. We are working on the accuracy of our measurements.

In other areas, we were recapping the digestive system for our topic and carried out an experiment that helped the children understand the process better. It was certainly a fun and messy experiment and the pupils really enjoyed working in teams:

We also decided to investigate the skeletal system and learn the names of the different bones in our bodies. The pupils were able to watch a video and take notes and then use cotton buds to create a piece of artwork which demonstrates their understanding and also celebrates Halloween:

We have been learning about friendships and were exploring healthy and unhealthy relationship scenarios. The pupils were excellent at discussing healthy, positive friendships and comparing them to unhealthy relationships.

The secret is out!

Disney Musicals in Schools is back this year and P5 and P6 are super excited to get started with rehearsals for our performance which will be early next year. We have already had so much fun learning a few of the songs and dances. Keep your eyes peeled for updates, they’ll be shared “one by one” on our blog or school app! 😉

A huge thank you to everyone who came to parents night. It was lovely to meet you all and chat to you in person. Have a fantastic weekend!
