As we are progressing further through Second Level Maths we have been enjoying Active Maths tasks in class and solving challenge questions together.
Fundraising Fun day 😄
We had a great first day back at school with our Fundraising Fun Day!
We started the day with a pantomime by M&M productions – Sleeping beauty 👸
We then had a special author visit in the street and took part in lots of creative activities to create our own characters and stories.
We finished the day with sports activities outdoors with active schools and volunteers.
There is still time to donate on ParentPay ⭐️ thanks to all our family and friends for supporting us!
Gastronomers Showcase ⭐️
Many thanks to all of the family and friends of P5.17 who joined us for our Showcase today. We had a busy day in the kitchen cooking up 3 courses and turning the library into our very own restaurant 👩🏻🍳 🧑🏽🍳
Giglets and Autumn Art 📖🍂
Today we enjoyed a new text on Giglets called ‘Not Alone’, a short story about friendship and inclusion. We worked in pairs to answer Multiple Choice Questions and Higher Order Thinking Questions ✍🏼
Afterwards, we spent the afternoon in the art room and created an autumn tree using our hands and fingers. We discussed using longer brush strokes to create texture on the tree and mixing different colours together to make new shades.
Potato and Leek Soup 🥣
This afternoon we had our last rotation of Gastronomers and our Group 2 made potato and leek soup. We started by chopping leeks, potatoes, onions and garlic and added these to a pan with stock. After the vegetables were ready we blended them together and served🍴
French Fun 🇫🇷 and much more!
Today we enjoyed integrating French into our Literacy targets. We practiced recognising colours and numbers through our ‘Splat’ game on the tuff tray as well as a connect 4 colour game 🎲
Elsewhere, a rainy day led to cosmic yoga in our classroom with an exciting Pokémon theme. We enjoyed trying all of the different poses and going through a journey of battles with some classic characters ⚡️
We also received special books to commemorate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, a lovely gift that the whole class enjoyed reading before home
