Over the last two weeks, using Dyson Foundation Design Process Box, we looked into the job of Design Engineers. We had a chance to find out what characteristics help Design Engineers be successful and took on a role of Design Engineers and came up with our own designs.
We’ve been enjoying different advents this year in class, including a French one.
Here’s a little snippet of what we’ve been learning…
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 🌈
Despite the constant drizzle this morning we still managed to pack in a lot of learning and had lots of fun doing it too!
We started with some listening games then moved on to word creating using vowels, consonants and golden question marks! There were lots of challenges and we managed to create so many words.
Our observation and recording skills were next to be developed as we worked in pairs collecting interesting leaves before observing them closely and recording as many details as we could on a diagram. We then swapped with other pairs and identified each other’s leaves. It was great being able to analyse our work and see where we can improve too.
Some spooky art work creations to complement our fabulous spooky haunted house imaginative writing!
Lots of great effort went into costume designs this year too!
P5.16 participated enthusiastically during our Freaky Friday fun day event and
loved being the first to make it on to the new pitch!
Some of the class even entered the pumpkin creation house challenge!
A fun day had by all!
Outdoor learning developing our ability to tell the time!
