Primary 5a showed off their knowledge of scientific language in these annotated diagrams. The children chose whether they wanted to work with a partner or on their own. Most people were very successful.
Painting in the style of the Impressionists
Primary 5a looked at some pictures painted by Claude Monet. They tried to use the same style of painting to create their own and many of them were very successful. We are happy to hang these on our wall!

Mental Maths Fun
Cara has been working hard in Maths!!
We regularly use our whiteboards to help us with our work.
Maths Treasure Hunts
In September Primary 5a had lots of fun doing a maths treasure hunt. Each card was placed somewhere in the gym hall and we had to read the card, find the answer and then look for the card around the hall which had the answer on it. It was a great way of practising our skills and knowledge of addition, subtraction and multiplication. 
“I Can Attitude”
At the beginning of the year we all wrote down three things we could already do and one thing that we couldn’t do YET. We are hoping that when we look back on our statements at the end of the year that we can now do what we said in our final statement. 
Hollie: I can do a cart wheel, a handstand and a front flip. I can’t YET swim.
Caleb: I can help, work hard and listen. I can’t YET whistle.
Let’s hope we CAN at the end of the year!
Dali Artwork
In Art we have been learning about the work of the famous painter Salvador Dali. We looked at his pictures to inspire us and then created our own clock paintings. Here are some of our creations.
I enjoyed learning about Dali and painting some of his pictures- Ruby.
Our Favourite Rainforest Animals
Pr 4/3 collected information on our favourite rainforest animal using tally marks. We then displayed this information by creating a bar graph. What was our favourite rainforest animal ?
Bullying
In circle time P4 have talked about bullying behaviour and the effect it has on people. They talked about the way different people would feel – the person who displayed the bullying behaviour, the person who was the target of the bullying behaviour, the teachers , other children , the parents etc. They hope to use this information and create some literacy work from it.
