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? 
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 🙂
Everyone at Onthank Primary will miss Kal lots as he starts an exciting new adventure at his new school on Monday. Primary 5T will especially miss him, his big smile and great sense of humour.
The class had a great time today as they wrote some kind letters to Kal and shared some fun memories. They also got the chance to sign his jumper and have a PARTY!
Good luck Kal 🙂
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!
Team P5 🙂
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.

Well the children have finally made a start on their shields, and boy, are they keen. They have carefully cut o
ut the frame and are now transferring their symbols and codes on to each quadrant. They really will be works of art by the time they are finished. Well done P5i.
Hi all,
Now I have received blog training, I can now access and post on the Primary 5 blog (I hope). I am excited to share with you pictures of the hard work being done in Primary 5T and any other information that may be of interest. Thank you to Mrs Irving who has been posting on my behalf until I got set up.
Our new topic this term, Knights and Castles, is well underway and Primary 5T had a great time working in small groups to recreate a Motte and Bailey Castle using different materials as you can see. We are also in the process of creating our own Coat of Arms which we hope to make into a shield in the coming weeks. Thank you to those who have brought in some cardboard, we greatly appreciate it.
Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about any aspect of our topic. Thank you!
Miss Telford 🙂
Just a reminder of this week’s homework.
Our sound for this week is words containing ‘oy’ and Task E – finding synonyms using our words.
Our math homework is a plea from me. Could children please learn their timetables? Pupils are enjoying their work with decimals but many any are struggling to complete decimal/fraction tasks due to poor tables knowledge, which then affects their confidence. There are many games online to help support their learning – I have put many on their Bug Cub accounts – but simply writing out and repeating each table, will be of great benefit.
Many thanks for your continued support.
Mrs Irving
Pupils had a super day doing various activities connected with Pudsey and to health and well being. Thank you all for your generous donations.
The day started off well with a school fitness session and ended with a gymnastic marathon circuit for P.E., so children should be well exercised – and worn out.
Poetry winners
We also watched recording of pupils reciting their Owl and the Pussycat poem and two winners were chosen for their super actions and recital. Many congratulations to Luke and Ellie.
Pupils are now looking forward to learning our next poem! Go P5i.
