This week was another busy one for Primary 4/5.

This week was ‘Anti-Bullying’ week and on Monday we created some lovely Throw Kindness Like Confetti artwork. We started with a perspective drawing of our hands and then used other materials to create a confetti collage. Have a look!

On Tuesday we developed our understanding of our school value ‘Fairness’.  We learned about how fair doesn’t always mean everyone gets the same. We could understand the difference between equality and equity and made some lovely ‘Fairness’ acrostic poems to display in our corridor.

Wednesday was our Literacy open morning. We had a great morning showing off some of the things we get up to in our class. We upgraded our fries, took part in some descriptive writing, completed the literacy starters, tried out some of our Fantastic Mr Fox task maps and worked on some spelling strategies!

On Thursday we were joined by the rest of Primary 5 for a Superman themed day! We read a description of the setting and made models based on the scene. It was a great day and we developed lots of skills.

Today we celebrated Children in Need by dressing down and taking part in a Pudsey Bear drawing tutorial. They turned out brilliantly!

Title:  My Favourite Film or Book

You have been given a project to prepare and present a short 5 minute talk about your favourite film or book.  The presentation should be as detailed as possible and should include information about the author, genre, characters, setting and plot.  You could also include your favourite parts and the reasons why you like them, or ways you think the author or director could have made them even better. You could also use other ideas to enhance your talk e.g. PowerPoint (emailed to Miss McLean or on a pen-drive), drawings, diagrams or items from home.

You should practise your talk at home as often as possible and use a timer to help. You may want to use notes or prompt cards to help you stay on track.

All talks will be assessed using the school’s Talking & Listening criteria, which is also available on Glow.

Talks should be ready to present the week beginning Monday 21^st November.

On Monday we were so excited to celebrate Halloween by joining up for some structured activities with P4-7. We enjoyed doing art, games and enjoying some wee treats!

Some other highlights included our music session which we really enjoyed. We used glow sticks as beaters and worked on the rhythm of ‘Spooky Scary Skeletons’. 

We also finished working on our descriptive writing pieces and we are really proud of our finished pieces. (These pieces were sent home so you can have a look at our wonderful work.)

We continued to develop our knowledge of the ‘Formal Method’ – this time to solve subtraction calculations.

We finished up the week by creating some Bonfire Night inspired artwork. We used a combination of chalk and oil pastels to create different effects. This was challenging at times but we developed lots of new skills!
