Tomorrow (Wednesday 28th November) P5B will begin to make their Christmas craft. As we will be painting and using PVA glue/glitter, children are more than welcome to bring in an old t-shirt to put over their school uniform so not to get it dirty or sticky.

We will be hard working little elves getting ready for Christmas

 

Primary 5B have been creating pointillism portraits in class. After studying famous Africans, we decided to create a portrait of Nelson Mandela using the Pointilism technique. We used a variety of crayons, pencils and felt tip pens to create the effect.

 

Sophie in P5B won 2 Bronze medals on Sunday 4th November at Bellahouston Leisure Centre in Glasgow in the City of Glasgow Gymnastics Club Floor & Vault Competition. Sophie won one of her medals in the team event and went on to win overall for the floor and vault competition.

Well done Sophie, we are all very proud of you!

P5B have been making a variety of fantastic Knights and Castles creations at home. We have had some excellent castles, maces, shields and swords. We also had a super PowerPoint from Oliver and an interesting fact file from Logan.

Well done to all the children and parents/grandparents who helped with the creations – Miss Black was very impressed!

Primary 5B visited Dundonald Castle on a wet and windy day, nevertheless that did not stop the fun. Children got the opportunity to dress up as knights and princesses in a day which consisted of visiting the dungeons filled with creepy-crawlies,  dressing up as Vikings, taking part in some falconry with an owl and also learning about knights equipment.

There were a few tired faces at the end of the day – the steep hill leading up to the castle must have tired the children out! Despite the weather all children had a great time.

Thank you to the parent helpers who came along, we hope you had fun too!

 

Just a wee reminder for all those in P5B, tomorrow – Tuesday 9th October is our class trip to Dundonald Castle. As discussed in class today, pupils should bring a packed lunch with them, a waterproof jacket and wrap up warm as according to the weather forecast it doesn’t look like the sun will be shining for us! Children can also bring up to £5 maximum with them to spend at the gift shop although this is at parents discrepancy what you wish to give your child.

P5 Homework this week will consist of Magic e words. Children should complete Task A – writing out their words 3 times and this week complete Task D – Silly sentences. Each class will have their own Maths homework.

Can we also remind pupils of their topic homework (free choice topic grid) which is due next Wednesday 10th October.

Thanks, Team P5

This week as part of our Knights and Castles topic P5B have been focussing on knights. Today we looked at what a knight wears. Lily, Alex, Sophie, Logan, Oliver and Callum trialled out wearing ‘armour’. The children had the opportunity to see what knights armour looks like through a woollen vest. As you can see the children who tried the vests on were very excited about this idea; particularly Logan and Callum!

Primary 5 homework this week consists of ‘dge’ words. Children received a homework grid and should complete Task A – write out your words three times, followed by Task B – Consonants and Vowels.

This is the spelling grid children have received.

Children should also log into their Heinemann Active Maths account using their Bug Club log in and play the maths game allocated to them by their class teacher.

If you have any questions about this week’s homework then please let your Class Teacher know.

P2B have been taking part in World Cup activities in class. We have been making flags for the countries taking part as well as keeping scores of the games. We have also been working with P2H on art activities and created pointillism shirts based on the team shirts.
