I will be running a lunch time football club for any Primary 5 pupil who would like to take part. Until further notice it will run on a Thursday lunch time from approximately 12:50 until 13:15. Due to the expected numbers, the football will work on a rotational basis, with 2 classes taking part one week and the remaining 2 classes taking part in the following week.
The schedule will run as follows:
Week A: P5M and P5I
Week B: P5 N/D and P5E
Next Thursday (17th) will be week A.
Pupils should have appropriate indoor shoes, shorts and t-shirt.
P5B wrote and performed a Christmas Rap for the class. The children worked with a partner to create a rap consisting of all things Christmas. Here is Derryl and Ethan rapping for the class.
The pupils (and teachers) had lots of fun at our Christmas party today. We saw some impressive dance moves throughout the afternoon, fun competition in Pass the Parcel and Musical Arms and had a tasty snack kindly provided by the school. Check out the festive fun below:
P5B swapped teacher on Thursday afternoon and therefore Mr Fraser Ritchie led the lesson. Fraser had been experimenting with some paper craft at home and brought his ideas into the classroom. He taught us how to create a Christmas tree using some paper craft, cutting and sticking skills. All of us enjoyed Mr Ritchie leading the lesson instead as same old Miss Black!

Just a quick reminder for all Primary 5 classes. Children should wear a white polo t-shirt or blouse for tomorrow’s day performance of Onthank’s Greatest Show and the same for Thursday night’s evening performance. If the children do not have either a white polo t-shirt or blouse then a white t-shirt is ok too.
Well done to everyone yesterday, we have had a lot of positive feedback on the show. Keep up the good work!
Primary 5E have been working very hard over term 2. Here are some of the things we have been doing:
Researching Africa. Pupils were given a country to research and then present their work to the class. Their work is our class display !
We have also been exploring fractions of quantities and pupils were asked to decorate a Christmas tree based on the fraction description assigned.
And finally we had some fun creating a snow globe scene using chalk, crayons, pastels, glitter and jewels. We are not all finished yet so here’s a small selection of completed snow globes.
P5B took part in making their own Christmas tree origami. We watched a step by step video on how to create our Christmas trees using green card. This was a different type of activity for us as some children had never tried making origami before. The task looked easier than expected for some of us; but after bearing with it for some time and being patient the majority got there in the end! Miss Black was extra chuffed to be one of the successful people to have created her tree 😀.
Sophie, Alex and Leah were super happy to have created their trees with Alex explaining “it looked easier in the video!”

Lucie and Faye were super assistants for Miss Black.
P5E have been working very hard on making their craft for the Christmas fayre. We have decided to make clay pinch pots since we have been learning these skills in art with Miss Dasgupta. Our head of research Breckin has taken some photos to show you our hard work and enthusiasm. Breckin and Lewis K also visited some classes to collect research on what these pots can be used for and how much we will sell them at – the most popular suggestion was £1.
The pupils in p5 E will have an opportunity to buy one of their pots before going on sale at the fayre.
