Pupils have a new 6 week spelling grid starting this week with dictionary work.

Maths homework is revision of 3D shape.

Many parents have requested times for Parent’s Night on 21st March. Should any parent be unable to attend on that date, please let me know and I can arrange to see you any other day after school.

1st February, we had fun in the snow.  Today, 28th February, we had fun in the sun during Fit Fifteen

• Sometimes children just want to sit down and complete work from a textbook. Many enjoy the challenge of completing the questions on their own and thinking for themselves. Here our class are doing just that. In contrast, they also like outdoor pursuits and here they are having fun in the sun – and snow.

Learning is all about engagement and P5i are certainly that.

As a class we have looked at the science of sound. As part of our decade topic we had an input on the history of the telephone. So far we’ve created our own cup phones and megaphones which has helped us explore how sound moves. Even though the weather was freezing, we managed outside to use our megaphones.  P5M doesn’t believe in that old proverb “Children should be seen and not heard!”

Just a reminder that all P5 pupils will recite their Scots poem to their peers this Friday.                                                                                                       Please encourage and support your child to practice performing their particular poem and I look forward to hearing their best efforts.

Good luck everyone.      Gie it laldy!

P5i are enjoying their topic covering the ‘noughtie’ years .

As social media users, they were tasked with designing a new Social Media App and Logo that represented their needs.  Some of their designs and suggestions blew me away.  Here are some of the finished logos. Click on the logos link to open a PDF fie.

More to follow, so watch this space.

Pupils use many different ways to develop their spelling skills and   enjoy a variety of activities that not only engages them but also develops their knowledge in a meaningful way.  Have you tried diacritical marking yet?

Thank you

Team P5

As part of our decades topic (P5 are looking at 2000 – 2010) P5E had a visit from Mr Flemmich who runs the Darvel Telephone Museum.  He brought lots of telephones in to show us how they have changed over the past 100 years.  Mr Flemmich then let the pupils play with them.  They seemed to have a lot of fun and we all learned a lot of new information.
