Primary 5 are wearing red today to help spread the message that racism will not be tolerated in our school.

Matilda  and Alexa  are the Community Committee representatives for P5.

Matilda and Alexa – “We have helped to organise this event and are delighted to see so many people dressed in red today.”

Vertebrates

As part of our Science programme, we have been studying Vertebrates. We have researched different Vertebrates and created informative posters.

Vertebrates are animals with a backbone in their body. They are divided into five main groups: fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals.

I can identify and classify examples of living things, past and present, to help me appreciate their diversity. I can relate physical and behavioural characteristics to their survival or extinction. SCN 2-01a

Today, we set three personal targets that we hope to achieve by Christmas.

 

Primary 5 enjoyed making delicious pizzas in preparation for instructional writing. The children were able to use this experience to write detailed instructions on how to make a pizza. This included connectives, verbs and adverbs.

Primary 5 visited the Secret Garden to find some inspiration for their writing lesson. They used the setting to write some wonderful poetry using amazing adjectives and super similes. The children are very proud of their Senses poems!

Maths Week Scotland took place earlier in September and we enjoyed a fun week of exciting maths activities. This included orienteering and a scavenger hunt with a mathematical theme. The children also enjoyed having a “blether” about numbers!

Aaron – “I found it fun searching for all the clues.”

Adam – “I enjoyed working in a group.”

Muriam – “I enjoyed going outside to do maths.”

We started the new session with a focus on Superheroes. The children have enjoyed being creative and designed their own Superhero. They have worked effectively with a partner to create informative power points. As part of this work, we have studied Andy Warhol and his colourful “Pop Art”!

Ewan – “I’ve enjoyed being creative about my Superhero.”

Rebecca – “I loved designing my own Superhero and personality.”

Katie – “I think our Superhero topic was very creative.”

Rafay – “I enjoyed the Andy Warhol art.”

Emilie – “I  liked the Pop Art. It was WOW!”

We have had a very busy start to the new term and everyone has settled in amazingly well into P5.

 

Primary 4 would like to thank Mrs Ansari for sharing with us some of her experiences when working in a Syrian refugee camp.  Her talk really inspired us in our persuasive writing lesson today.

We have just returned from a fun morning at an East Renfrewshire cricket festival, playing against Thornliebank and Crookfur Primary Schools. We had a great time using the skills that we have learned during PE lessons.

‘I learned how to bowl correctly.’ Adam

‘I know how to hold the bat properly.’ Emilie

‘It was fun playing against other schools.’ Waniya
