Hello and welcome back after our Easter break. Everyone in the class is ready to settle down and really make the most of the learning experiences on offer this final term in Primary 5.
We had to say goodbye to one of our friends, James who has gone to another school. We hope he makes lots of new friends there.
Next week, we will welcome Miss Withers back to our class. We are all looking forward to working with her again.
Stay tuned for more updates this term!
Things are going well for us in our endeavour to develop the trout eggs into alevins and keep them well-looked after. We have only lost a few eggs, and the remainder have now hatched into healthy alevins with very full yolk sacs.
Pictures to follow!
The boys and girls in Primary 5 were offered the chance to try out archery at an after school club run by Miss Macdonald and Mrs McCulloch. The children learned about all the parts of the bows and arrows, and, more importantly, the safety equipment and rules to take part.
Below, you can see Courtney, Carys, Skye and Lauren H sharpening their skills.
All of the children said how much they enjoyed this sport. It was fun to learn all about the parts of the bows and arrows, how to load the bows, and how to stand

We have been working hard this term to improve our skills in addition, subtraction, multiplication and division by completing a 50-a-day task. This means that we have ten minutes to accurately complete fifty calculations each day. We correct each other’s work and calculate a percentage score. If we achieve 100% three weeks in a row in any of the disciplines, we move up to the next level of difficulty.
Already there are many people who have moved up! In addition, Ben G has reached level 2. In subtraction, Skye and Dylan are on level 2. In multiplication, Skye, Carys, James, Madison, Lauren H, Hannah, Lianna, Lauren McE, Caitlin, William, Ben M, Sameera and Grace are on level 2. In division, Carys, Hannah, Caitlin, William, Ben M and Grace have reached level 2.
We celebrate others success and achievements and learn to be determined to do our best.
