Primary 5 have been busy learning about Enterprise. We have established business groups and designed logos. Also, we have conducted market research and carried out surveys to investigate the demand for our chosen product. As a result, we have decided to produce Sweet Cones to sell for £1.

Pupils from the class have convinced Miss Cumming to give us a loan in order for us to produce our Sweet Cones. Miss Cumming has agreed. We had to work very hard to follow all the conditions set by Miss Cumming. She would make a tough dragon on Dragon’s Den! Any profits we make will be donated to the charity SSPCA.

As a result, we had a very productive afternoon today. We spent the afternoon making our Sweet Cones. We will be advertising them and starting to sell our Sweet Cones week beginning 11th December. We hope you will support us in this enterprising project!

Primary 5 have enjoyed celebrating St. Andrew’s Day. Many children came dressed in tartan dresses, ties, scarves and hats. We enjoyed finding out more about St. Andrew in class. We created a fact file using the information we had learned today.

As part of Book Week, we have had lots of visitors in Primary 5 sharing their love of books. We have thoroughly enjoyed listening to lots of different stories.

We were very lucky to have Safina Mazhar visit the class. She is a real life author and is currently writing her fourth book. Her first book is called Run To Earth and the main character is a boy called Aaron Adams. Safina spoke to us about the writing process and where she gets her ideas. We will try and use some of her tips in class and at home to help develop our writing skills. We have some budding authors in Primary 5!

Emilie – I can’t wait to get home and start reading!

Aaron – It gave me an idea for a book I want to write.

Ryan – I want to go and order the book as soon as I get home.

Rebecca – After Safina’s chat, I want to start reading the series.

Alexa – I can’t believe Mrs Ali is a character in the third book!

 

Primary 5 working with ICT partners on a Minecraft coding activity.

Alex- I found the coding good fun because it was quite tricky. My favourite level was level 14.

Primary 5 worked in groups to create “bullying” scenarios. The audience had to identify the type of bullying taking place and suggest helpful hints to stop it.

Primary 5 are working hard to complete their anti-bullying posters. We have researched different types of bullying: verbal, physical and cyber. Also, we have looked at different ways to help stop bullies. We will display the posters around the school.
