Have fun!!!!

We all had so much fun on our trip away to Belmont. 🧳 The children completed a range of activities from crate climbing to abseiling. 🧗‍♂️ They all worked well together, encouraging and supporting their groups. I am so proud of all the activities that everyone got involved in while we were away. 🌟
Hope everyone had a great time and are well rested. See you all on Monday, great work Primary 5 👍🏻

We have been given money by the fundraising committee to make our library more welcoming and comfortable. We all brainstormed ideas to make our library more enjoyable. We love spending time in our library now and so grateful for our new library. 📚
Here is a before and after photo to show our changes.

Before

After

We have been reading Charlie and the Chocolate book together as a class and doing lots of activities based on it.
In drama, we were having so much fun role playing different characters from the novel.
The 5 children were acting through role role play being the 5 lucky ticket winners of the tour around Willy Wonka’s factory 🎭  The rest of the class were news reporters asking the winners questions about their lives and excitement they are feeling about winning their special factory tour . 🎤 The children had so much fun answering the questions as if they were the characters from the novel. The questions and answers were great, clearly primary 5 have some actors and actresses in their midst 👏🏻🎭🎬

We have been learning about famous castles around all of Britain. The children researched the variety of materials that have been used over thousands of years to build castles. There are three main materials used to build castles of the years:

• Wood
• Metal
• Stone 🧱

Primary 5 have been using their knowledge of castle structures and their imagination to build castles using Lego and wooden blocks.   👷🏻‍♂️👷🏼‍♀️ They worked as a class to create a list of criteria that they castle must have.

• Turrets
• Thick walls
• Doors
• Rooms

It was a challenge and everyone worked so hard, they look great 👍🏻 🏰

We have been working on directions using 8 points on a compass. We discussed where and when we might use compass points in our lives, the children came up with great answers such as directions and positioning a map.
Miss joiner set some of the children a challenge of trying to apply their knowledge of angles to their compass points. The children worked hard to sort the angles into their defined names.

We were directing each other around the room using our angles and coordinates which helped us all to see how our learning might be used in every day life.

The children were creating pictures on the chrome books using all of their learning on compass points and angles. They looked brilliant! We have letters from smiley faces. Well done! 👏🏻

Some of primary 5 have been learning about the area and perimeter of shapes. We decided to take our learning outside. We had great fun working collaboratively using different measuring tool to calculate the areas and perimeter of different objects in our playground.  There was a huge range of objects being measured from tables to gates. Everyone worked really hard. Well Done!!

Since the beginning of term primary 5 have thoroughly enjoyed their step up of responsibility. The class have been taking buddying the new primary 1 children, this includes helping with their lunches, assisting with areas of their learning such as IT skills and paired reading work. The children have created great friendships with their buddy and look forward to continuing their involvement with them.
