Hi all. We are sorry that we haven’t uploaded a blog this term.  We have been allocating class jobs and are now back into the swing of things.

This week in primary 5 we have been working extremely hard. We all enjoyed working on problem solving in groups and developing our understanding of percentages and decimal. In literacy we have been working on our comprehension skills and really trying to get better at evaluating texts using key comprehension and our guided readers.

We are all so excited because Mrs Watson is entering us into the BBC radio 2 500 words competition run by Chris Evans and we are all hoping to win.  To be successful we had to plan our fiction stories very carefully, taking tips from Chris Riddell the children’s laureate by creating our setting and characters first before even writing any plan.  Also in art we are studying Van Goughs lifestyle and art. We have tried this out aswell by creating landscape picture using a range of lines and tones.

HIGHLIGHT OF THE WEEK :

We have all enjoyed playing in the snow but not so much with the traffic, getting to and away from school has been a bit tricky. Mrs Watson got stuck in the snow today but she is here now. . Building snowmen has been fun, we did that on Wednesday.  It was brilliant.

Happy new year
