Pupils worked in small groups to plan their study of Enterprise. There was a lot of discussion about what they would like to find out about. Here are some of the most popular suggestions:

What are the most popular enterprise businesses?

What does enterprise mean?

What enterprise has been the most popular in 2017?

How do people make their products?

Are there any enterprise schemes?

PC Trainer, Campus Police Officer, came to talk to us about the work of the Police. He showed some of his equipment. PC Trainer carries handcuffs, a baton, a torch, a radio, a penknife, a notebook and a few other items.

PC Trainer handcuffed Mrs Ali and that was hilarious!

We hope you had a great holiday! Everyone has settled back into the routine of school very quickly and working hard. We are looking forward to this term!

From next week, the homework tasks will be posted on this blog. The children will be able to show you how to access the blog.

Miss Boyd has been working with Primary 5 as part of her postgraduate degree in Primary Teaching. Primary 5 have thoroughly enjoyed having her in the classroom and we are very sad to see her go. Miss Boyd gave us some lovely gifts today because it was her last day.

It’s the last day of the first term and we can’t believe how quickly it has passed! Primary 5 have worked very hard so they are ready for a little break.

This term, we have enjoyed:

Samyan – I enjoyed working with Miss Boyd during Numeracy and Maths.

William- I enjoyed the Sumdog competitions.

Zia –  I enjoyed finding out more about Transport.

Muriam – I enjoyed making the class charter.

Isla – I enjoyed outdoor art.

Ewan- I enjoyed the Sumdog competitions.

Rebecca – I enjoyed writing my Rhino report.

Atiya – I enjoyed designing the road safety poster.

Aiman – I enjoyed making pizza.

Alex – I enjoyed writing a report on the Ring Tailed Lemur.

Rebekah – I enjoyed the McCoo art.

Eden –  I enjoyed going into the Secret Garden.

Zara – I enjoyed creating my personal collage.

Matilda – I enjoyed the McCoo art.

Aaron – I enjoyed learning about BODMAS.

Rafay – I enjoyed making pizzas.

Alexa- I enjoyed using the ipads.

Adam – I enjoyed the ransom writing task for spelling.

Aisha – I enjoyed making the rockets for the class charter.

Imogen – I enjoyed writing my Snow Leopard report.

Next term, we will be studying Enterprise. We would be delighted to hear from you if you have any experience of setting up your own business or know of anyone who could come and talk to us. Also, we will be looking at key figures from Sikhism, Islam, Christianity and Buddhism. Again, we would be happy to hear from you if you have any expertise in this area.

We are always very keen to welcome guests into our classroom, so please contact the school if you feel you can help with our topics next term. We would also love to hear from anyone who uses their numeracy and literacy skills in unique ways within their employment. Giving these skills a real-life context really engages the pupils in all curricular areas.

Enjoy the holidays!
