P5i Maths, but not as you may know it

March 17, 2020 User deactivated Leave a comment

Children enjoyed their Maths lesson today as we consolidated knowledge on Time conversion

and then we developed mathematical calculations by playing an extended game of Bingo. They were also challenged whilst playing Three Card Trump and Game 500. These are games you can play at home to help support your child with times tables and number operations.

Could I also remind pupils and parents that a new page has been set up using Microsoft Teams and children can access it through their normal Glow login. Mrs Wright has set up a survey for all pupils to complete and I have included a copy of our class poem. Teams can be accessed using phones, tablets, laptops, xBox and PS4.

If you would like any more details about using Teams, please do not hesitate to contact me – or ask your child’s friends if they have been at school this week.

P.S. I have updated Maths games on Bug Club to help revise Decimals, Fractions and Percentages.

P5i Castle Presentations

Gallery February 27, 2020 User deactivated Leave a comment

Today we finally heard all presentations and had a chance to see all 25 castles. What a successful homework project this turned out to be. Each and every castle had at least one element that stood out from the rest, making the decision to choose 3 winners really hard. In fact, so hard, I asked Mrs Findlay to do the honours.

I hope you enjoy looking at the efforts of all P5i children, and again, accept my thanks for supporting your child to complete their task and to be such successful learners. Well done one and all.

Many congratulations to Kye, Megan and Lyle for your super castles. You made Mrs Findlay’s job even harder.

Castle Clues

February 26, 2020 Miss Telford 1 Comment

Primary 5T had a great time today going around the school searching for clues. Each one led to a new room where there was information about different rooms inside a castle. For example, the dining hall told the children about the Great Hall in a castle where banquets would take place. They were successful in finding them all, well done!

Also, we joined up with Primary 5K this afternoon to learn how to setup our target pages and create posts which include media. Watch out over the coming weeks as the children continue to explore Glow blogs and post with Mrs McPhail!

Are P5i For or Against Homework?

Today we had a discussion about homework and children had a very healthy and emotive debate about the pros and cons.

This photo shows how our class voted. Which way did your child vote?

Chivalry alive and well in P5i

As you can see from the photos, children had a real giggle today performing acts of chivalry – once they learned what they were!

Holding doors open and pulling out chairs for girls or helping them on with their coats seems to be a thing of the past –

but from now on… who knows?

Shields at the ready!

Primary 5T previously designed a Coat of Arm and have now made them into a shield. Each shield includes a flag, an illuminated letter for their surname and an animal and pattern that represent different qualities. The children have worked hard and as you can see they have done a fantastic job! Well done to all 🙂

P5i Poetry

It was a very hard decision, but many congratulations to Luke who was chosen to represent our class in next week’s poetry competition.

Also worth celebrating was the completion of our class shields. A lot of thought and effort has gone into making them, and as you can see, everyone is delighted with their efforts. Now we just have to find some space to display them?

Wow, didn’t they do well!

Primary 5i, 5K and 5T took part today in reciting their poems to their peers. Congratulations for the fantastic effort put in by all.

Finalists will be chosen by Thursday to represent their class at assembly next week. Good luck to all!

Primary 5T had a great session yesterday with Christine from Childsmile as part of our Health and Wellbeing programme. The children worked in teams to complete a sugar quiz. This involved looking at the contents of different food items and trying to work out how much sugar was in each. The children are now aware of how to check food labels, the contents their food contains and the benefits of looking after their teeth.
