These pictures show us working together to produce a poster about our chosen sense.
We had to investigate one of the five human senses, make notes and diagrams to help our understanding, then work together to make a bright eye-catching poster.
We think we did well.
On Monday we were joined by a new teacher. Her name is Miss Withers.
Miss Withers has been spending time getting to know us and working with groups.
She will be with us for a few weeks. Mrs McCulloch is very happy to have another pair of hands to help in the classroom!
The Triangles and Squares Maths work groups have recently started work on Algebra. They have been learning about function machines and number sequences. They understand, and can use, the terms: input, output, function and relationship.
Despite having only worked on this for a very short time, everyone has had success in their assessments!
Well done!
Our hatchery was delivered by Gemma (Dr Gemma Jennings) on Monday 16 January. She set it up for us and showed us how to look after it. Our trout eggs would not be delivered for another week, so in the meantime, we had to practise keeping the tank cool and at a steady temperature for our eggs.
We attended the launch of Clyde in the Classroom on Friday 13 January! It was very exciting and really great fun! We learned about the River Clyde and its many tributaries. We also learned about some of the fish found in the Clyde and a little about the brown trout.
Later we were shown what to expect when our hatchery arrived and how it would look when it was set up. Our excitement was really building!
Later, we got a chance to explore the Science Centre and try out a few of the exhibits.
All in all, a great day!
Today is finally here! We are so excited to be going to the launch of Clyde in the Classroom at the Glasgow Science Centre!
Look out for our posts all about this exciting experience where you will learn all about it!
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

Every class in school is taking part in the Daily Mile Challenge. 
Every day, we try to complete a mile by running, jogging , walking or a mixture of all three.
Everyone is allowed to go at their own pace to complete the challenge – not everyone can run for ten or fifteen minutes! It is a bout developing our fitness and stamina.
In our photos, you can see James, David, Lucy, Thomas S, Stacey, Scott, Lianna and Sameera taking part.
In
Art, we have been learning how to draw mandalas. A mandala is a circular pattern learn which grows from a central point. The word mandala comes from the old Indian language of Sanskrit. Loosely translated it means ‘circle’. It is pronounced ‘mandle’.
To
learn how to draw mandalas, we watched several on-line tutorial videos. These gave us some great ideas. After that we had one or two practice attempts. With each one, we improved our skills.
Here, you can see several of the mandalas from our class. We have examples from Ben M, Courtney, Dylan, Grace, Katie, Lianna and Madison.
