This week we had a chance to check how important it is to wash our hands properly.  After rubbing some Bug Lotion on our hands, we have checked how germs would spread- our hands glowed under the UV light. We then split into two groups to test what is more effective: washing hands with soap and water or hand sanitising. The results were clear… Wash your hands with soap and water whenever possible.

As it was anti bullying week this week, pupils worked in groups to create anti bullying dramas. They created scenes where bullies were challenged and encourage to change their actions and choose kindness.

To finish off the week, the whole class also took part in an anti bullying quiz on Kahoot!

To further celebrate World Childern’s day, as well as wearing blue for the day, some pupils opted to test their knowledge about climate change and challenge each other to another Kahoot quiz!

This week Primary 5.16 enjoyed taking part in an author live event learning about  ‘Cakes in Space‘ with Sarah McIntyre and Philip Reeve.

One of their favourite parts was taking part in the draw along section.

Here are some of their wonderful creations…

As a class we have been learning about directions, bearings and how to code. Pupils have enjoyed testing their skills to complete various challenges with coding games and with the Spheros.

Here is a snapshot of their successes so far!

P5.16 took part in the virtual pastoral assembly for Remembrance Day.  We thought about difficult times and also about the importance of hope. Creating illustrations to reflect our feelings and rainbows to signify our hope for good times to come 🌈
