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!
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 👩🏻🍳 🧑🏽🍳
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.
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🍴
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
time 📚
Today we enjoyed a visit to the eco-garden where we spent time digging the potatoes and leeks that we planted last year with Miss Trouten.
We are going to use these ingredients in our next Gastronomers dish, potato and leek soup. We also collected some raspberries which were fully grown 🍓
Today Group 1 of Gastronomers were in the kitchen and continuing with our Scottish theme we made our own shortbread. We measured butter, sugar and flour before mixing and kneading our shortbread together.
After some decoration and a short time in the oven they were ready to eat! 😋
Today in P5.17 and across our school we celebrated the life of Queen Elizabeth. We began the day with a whole school assembly where we looked back on her life and many achievements and commitments.
We then looked at memories of the Queen from those at Mearns and in our class, it was great to hear the many different stories from those who had met her along the years.
We then enjoyed some cucumber sandwiches and shortbread in her memory together in class.
In Literacy we have been developing our note-taking skills through watching informative videos on the 7 Wonders of the World.
We have then created fact-files from the information we gathered and presented this under sub-heading to grab the readers attention.
We had a great day in the kitchen with our second group of Gastronomers making our Haggis, ‘Neeps and Tatties 🏴
We have been developing our bridge cutting technique and meta-skills including communication, focus and collaboration.
