National outdoor play day
To celebrate national outdoor play day, the children worked together to teach each other some traditional playground games such as ropes, skipping ,high tig and hopscotch.
w/e 7th September 2018
This week the children have been focusing on their mental maths skills each day along with their planned lessons. They have been learning to decompose a number or round it up or down to help them add mentally.
In science they finished their water topic by researching water and its uses. They used ICT to create a sway or powerpoint that they will share and present to the class over the next few weeks.
They continued learning about the lives of Victorian children and were learning all about Victorian food. They made gruel and porridge and compared the taste of the two!

Jerry park outdoor learning session
Primary 5 teamed up with Primary 1 to experience a variety of outdoor learning activities at the Jerry park today. We were accompanied by some students from Clyde college who had planned four fantastic lessons for us to participate in.
We had to use our maths skills to answer questions to find a code to release a captured bear from his cage!
We listened to a story and discussed the language and vocabulary and put this into the context of the wooded area.
We created potions from natural materials.
We carried out a bug hunt using our science skills of investigation.
Outdoor learning
We teamed up with Primary 1 to share the skills that we have learned with them. Primary 5 taught Primary 1 how to be safe in the school grounds and how to safely collect resources without damaging the natural area.
We worked on math skills and helped Primary 1 children to identify numbers to ,to count to10, to identify length and colours and read the words for these. We then helped them sequence resources that we had collected.
Primary 5 loved having the responsibility of helping the Primary 1 children and they had to think carefully about their own knowledge and understanding of concepts in order to explain it to another child.
Sharing Gods talents
Following a conversation on what make us unique and special some of the pupils shared their dancing talents with the class. We were also retweeted by Ecoschools Scotland for growing our own rocket and broccoli which lots of children had never tasted before. Most of them loved it!
Primary 5 2017/18
Welcome to the new school year!
Primary 5 promises to be a fantastic year for the children.
The children have been revising their maths skills from Primary 4 and easing into the classroom routine after the long summer break. They have been learning their tables and will continue to do so over the course of the term.
In literacy this term we are studying “The BFG” by Roald Dahl and can look forward to lots of interdisciplinary activities based on this novel. In September we also begin studying the Literacy World series in class.
Our social studies topic is The Scottish Wars of Independence and we will be learning all about famous battles, historic figures and life during the 11-12th centuries.
The children will have added responsibilities around the school this year, now that they are part of the upper school. They began by checking the school garden and assessing the weeds that had grown over the summer holidays. We were pleasantly surprise to see that the rocket, blueberries and broccoli continued to grow unaided and our pear tree bore its first fruit! The children were all able to contribute ideas and opinions about they would like to grow this year.
We are looking forward to a fantastic Primary 5 and children will be blogging on a regular basis to keep you up to date on our learning and adventures!
