Summer Holidays!

Oh my goodness! Can you believe that we are at the end of Primary 5 already? Only two more days to go until we are off on holiday.

One of the highlights of our year was participating in Clyde in The Classroom. Looking after the trout fry was a great responsibility but also good fun.  We would recommend doing Clyde in the Classroom if you get the chance! Learning Mandarin with Chen Ni was also very good. We can’t wait to meet the new Mandarin teacher and develop our skills.                                                                                                                         Many of us are pleased with the improvements we have made in areas such as Maths, Reading, Writing, and Gymnastics.

Next session, we are looking forward to working with Miss McGarrity and Mrs McGurren in Primary 6. We hope to improve our skills in Art, Maths, P.E., Writing, Reading and many other things.

We will miss Mrs McCulloch and her fabulous multi-coloured hair! (It was fun waiting to see if it had changed colour over a weekend!) And how we always have to remind her to send down the register when she forgets. We always tell her off by saying,                            “M-r-s  Mc-C-u-l-l-o-c-h!!!”

We will also miss our friends Lucy and Matthew who are going to different schools in Primary 6. Good luck!

We hope everyone has a fabulous holiday, and see you in August

 

National Outdoor Education Day

 

Today, Thursday 18 May, is National Outdoor Education Day. Every class in our school took part in this event.

We decided to take our literacy circles outside and enjoy reading the next chapter of Roald Dahl’s Boy, in the sun.

We were so glad it was warm and sunny. Sitting in the adventure trail, at the picnic benches or on the grass was very relaxing and much more fun than being inside in a stuffy, hot classroom.

Welcome back!

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!

CLYDE IN THE CLASSROOM

Over the last few weeks, while looking after our eggs and alevin, we have been helped by visiting scientists, Gemma, Paul and Emma. We have felt very proud to have looked after these lovely creatures during this part of their life cycle*. We have also been pleased to share our knowledge with Gemma, Paul and Emma. Thank you to them too, for answering all of our many questions.

Hopefully we can continue to look after our fish well until it is time to release them in a local waterway.
