This week we finished off our Functional Writing topic on Instructions. We have been learning to logically organise steps and information and to use a variety of connectives to join them together. Today we tied our learning in Writing to Technologies where we developed our understanding of food preparation by using different resources to make Ice Lollies from fruit juices. After that we wrote a set of instructions based on what we had learned to do.
“They were delicious!” – Paige
Over the last few weeks we have been learning about celebrations in different religions. To do this we looked at weddings and the various aspects of these celebrations in Christianity, Islam and Judaism. We tied our learning in RME to other curricular areas e.g. Technologies where we designed and built window frames.
We also used Weddings as our topic for our work in Expressive Arts. As part of this, with Primary 2 we turned our frames into stained glass windows just like you might see in a cathedral.
We then learned the song ‘Love Story’ by Taylor Swift and prepared and performed a drama of a Christian Wedding at our learning and teaching assembly.
“It was really good fun and amazing!” – Emily
“I really enjoyed preparing and performing the drama of a Christian wedding.” – Lewis
Over the last couple of weeks we have been learning about different features of technology. We have been doing this by learning how to code.

Today we were developing our typing ability to help us find, organise, manage and access information. To do this we used a program called ‘Type to Learn’ which helped us develop our hand positions and typing speed. These skills will help us in our school work, at home and in the future, at work.
We have been developing our knowledge of the water cycle and how water changes state. To achieve this we took part in a variety of activities and experiments, leading to us researching, preparing, and delivering a presentation to both Primary 5 classes.
