Virtual Transition Videos
Hello Primay 5T, 5K and 5i!
It is hard to believe that we are now in our final days of Primary 5…
Details about your final class chat will be posted by your teachers at this week on Teams, so keep your eyes peeled.
Below I have attached the video links from your P6 teachers as part of our virtual bump up day. Primary 5i, Mr McClure is new and he will be making a video today – we will post it as soon as we have it. If you have any questions please just ask, and we will do our best to answer them.

You really are the ‘Fabulous Fives’ and it has been an absolute pleasure teaching you all this year. We wish you well in Primary 6 and we can’t wait to see you around the school when we return! We hope you have a fantastic summer when it comes. Take care 😊

Virtual Whole School Assembly
Hi all,
Our first virtual whole school assembly will be taking place tomorrow – Thursday 7th May 2020 – at 10am. It is expected to last between 20-25 minutes and further details will be posted on the school blog.
There will be singing, dancing and more for all of our Onthank families to enjoy! Your families will also be more than welcome to join us online.
As part of the assembly, we have asked for pupils/parents to send us any recordings of dancing, or pictures of the challenges set.
Fingers crossed all of the technology works and we hope to see you there!

P5i Maths, but not as you may know it
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.
Farewell Calin!
Calin is off on an exciting new adventure as he starts at his new school soon. He will be missed but not to worry as he promised he’ll be back for a visit!
Primary 5T had a great time today as they made some kind crafts and messages to share with Calin. They also had the chance to say their goodbyes and have ANOTHER PARTY!
Below are pictures from their first day in P5 together and his last day.
Good luck Calin 🙂
P5 Book Bonanza
Ah what a bunch of characters we have in P5!
The children had a great today in their costumes and enjoyed a number of activities to celebrate World Book Day. Thanks to all who participated.

Primary 5T’s Castles
Primary 5T got to hear the last of the castle presentations this afternoon and were then given the opportunity to rotate around the other classes to see their finished products. As you can see, a fantastic effort was made from all of the children. Now to find some space to display them all…
Thank you for supplying materials and supporting your child in producing super models, it is greatly appreciated. A huge well done to all involved!
Also, we managed to post our castles and shields onto our own individual glow blogs, please check them out and watch out for more posts coming soon!

P5i Castle Presentations
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
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 h
ealthy and emotive debate about the pros and cons.
This photo shows how our class voted. Which way did your child vote?
