Happy New Year

Welcome back everyone.

Primary 5 have started a Scottish theme for this month that will cover poetry, stories , songs and also look at traditions.

We are researching about Robert Burns for homework. This will be presented on 25th January. I look forward to learning more about Robert Burns from P5’s wonderful research and skilful presentations.

Our first song naturally was Auld Lang Syne as we discussed traditions at New Year in Scotland and around the world 🌎.  This week we enjoyed learning The Skyscraper Wean ( Jeely piece song 🎵) a definite favourite with the class.

We have studied Scottish traditional clothing  – a Kilt, sporran and tartan. Everyone was able to design their own tartan on the computer and also create a paper kilt. These are unique.

If you want to design one yourself look up the House of Tartan website and have a go.

In numeracy we have started to look at division and can use a variety of ways to solve a problem.

Our Number Talks focus for this fortnight is to use the partial quotient strategy.

As you can see P5 are getting more confident with it.

What a great start to the year.

Well done !
