P5i Homework

Leave a comment

Just a reminder of this week’s homework.

Our sound for this week is words containing  ‘oy’ and Task E – finding synonyms using our words.

Our math homework is a plea from me. Could children please learn their timetables?  Pupils are enjoying their work with decimals but many any are struggling to complete decimal/fraction tasks due to poor tables knowledge, which then affects their confidence.  There are many games online to help support their learning – I have put many on their Bug Cub accounts – but simply writing out and repeating each table,  will be of great benefit.

Many thanks  for your continued support.

Pupils had a super day doing various activities connected with Pudsey and to health and well being.  Thank you all for your generous donations.

The day started off well with a school  fitness session and ended  with a gymnastic marathon circuit for P.E., so children should be well exercised – and worn out.

 

Poetry winners

We also watched recording of pupils reciting their Owl and the Pussycat poem and two winners were chosen for their super actions and recital.  Many congratulations to Luke and Ellie.

Pupils are now looking forward to learning our next poem! Go P5i.

What a wonderful day was had by all.

The weather was beautiful and children had a great time in the fresh air – especially  at the STEM water park. Our budding Archimedes had a blast opening and closing the water chutes and altering the flow of water. Which was bitter cold. However undeterred,  they ran up and down the hill splashing  water everywhere calling instructions to each other as the flow altered.  A true hands-on learning experience.  It was then on to the play park where they enjoyed the zip wire, roundabout, climbing frame … and the freedom to run around and play together.

After lunch it was the sweet making workshop and under the dusty cloud of icing sugar, pupils could be seen weighing, mixing, stirring and rolling to produce their own, unique version of peppermint creams.  Well, that’s what they  set out to make.  I hope all parents got the opportunity to taste them.

Thank you very much to our 3 parent helpers who came along to help and support.  We couldn’t have done it without you .

Here are some photos from the sweet workshop.
More photos to follow.

P5i and P5T Class Trip to Dumfries House

Leave a comment

Pupils are staff are really looking forward to our class trip tomorrow.

Thank you  to all parents who volunteered to come along and support us. We look forward to catching you with you about 9:15.

Bus leaves at 9:30 and returns before 3:00.

Children should wear school jumpers and tracksuit bottoms or similar, along with weather appropriate shoes and coats ( for the rain).

Packed lunches are best carried in a carrier bag rather than school bag – saves children lugging them about the park at playtime.

Any queries,  please phone school before 9:00 if possible.

Just a wee reminder to P5i that  there are lots of books on Bug Club and you should be reading them regularly and responding to the texts.

Teacher feedback is given, allowing you and your parent/carers to monitor your progress, so please,  check in regularly and keep your reading record up to date.
