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.

P5E Digital learning and decimals update
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.
P5i Digital Learners
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. 
P5M Sunny Spelling
Primary 5M made use of the fantastic weather to continue to develop our understanding of this week’s phoneme.
P5E Active maths:Learning about decimals
P5E having been learning about decimals, focusing first on converting tenths into decimals and vice versa.
Pupils were matching jigsaw pieces showing matching decimal, mixed number or fraction with its place on a number line. Another activity involved using an Active Maths board game where pupils were to achieve 4 in a row after converting a mixed number into a decimal correctly. The third activity gave pupils a chance to use Sumdog or Topmarks maths. The class worked really hard today.
P5E Relaxing and working in the lovely sunshine!
P5E enjoyed working in the sunshine this morning. As part of digital learning week pupils are working together to create PowerPoint stories to show their P2 buddies.
Today’s session was all about planning our stories using storyboards. Some pupils have started from scratch while others are retelling a fairytale using their own words and images. Our classroom was so warm we took our work outdoors!
P5i making maths matter
Our Mini Mathematicians were out in the sun today, clipboards in hand, as they looked for clues and solved 
problems.
They were then tasked with identifying 2D and 3D shapes. Surprisingly, they all found this task so much easier than the one planned for indoors.
Tying a tie proved very challenging for some. As they need to tie a tie for their class novelty race on Sports Day, could I please ask that you help your little treasure to practice this skill at home?
P5i Bagged it for the environment
Today we focused on the issue of plastic bags and the harm they do to the environment. We also looked at some ways we could recycle them and made friendships bracelets from 
3 used bags. Not as adventurous as Marks and Spencer, who make staff fleeces out of theirs, but we enjoyed the challenge of twisting and plaiting strips of plastic to make our bracelets.
Coding in P5DN
P5DN had a lot of fun coding using SCRATCH on the computers today!
Where are our organs?
P5DN have been finding out about the organs inside our body. At the beginning of the lesson, pupils had to guess where the organs went. Some of the suggestions were very interesting!
