P5E played a matching game to learn about the major organs in the body and their functions. They also colour coded the organs on an image of the body to help identify their location.
As a fun follow up task pupils played ‘You can’t live without me’ where some children acted out an organ and described its function. The rest of the class had to guess what organ they were portraying.
A few mad hatters turned up today. 
All P5 classes joined forces with Mr Swan this afternoon for 30 minutes of dancercise – ably assisted by Miss Ellis and Mr McLeod. 
P5E have now completed the first draft of their PowerPoint stories which will hopefully entertain their p2 buddies.
Each group showed and read their story to our class, who then gave feedback-what was good and notes for improvement. Pupils will now edit their stories before showing the final version to p2.
Miss Ellis was very impressed with pupils’ ICT skills, especially how they were able transition from slide to slide using interesting animations.
And today’s positive choice was..?
Having fun and learning a few high kicks and punches that help to unify the body and mind. 
WOW! What a show.
Thank you to all the boys and girls who took part in this afternoon’s musical extravaganza. The guests who were able to attend, really did get a treat. After only 2 hours formal rehearsal, everyone put their heart and soul into putting on a tremendous performance.
More photos to follow.
Primary 5M have been coding using the application Scratch. We have created a background and sprites. We then edited the sprites to create an a sound for each one.
Pupils have now started creating their PowerPoint stories for their P2 buddies.
Also, in maths, pupils have now learned about hundredths and how to note them using decimal notation. They played a pairs game revising tenths and hundredths and their decimal equivalents.
Today, as part of Digital Learning Week, we got the laptops out and had a go at programing. Using Scratch – which the children can use online at home – pupils tried to give instructions to their little Sprite using different commands. 
Primary 5M made use of the fantastic weather to continue to develop our understanding of this week’s phoneme.
