We have had a busy start of term. We have been discussing our school routines and what we want to learn in P5.

HWB– Class Charter

We created our class charter and selected the 6 most relevant articles. We thought about what children and adults need to do to ensure we all respect these rights everyday in our classroom and throughout the school.

Art – Marbling

We have been learning a new art technique –  Japanese Suminagashi – paper marbling. The word Suminagashi translates to ‘floating ink.’ We mixed a range of inks with water to create our own marbling designs. We then used this to write our names with a cool background.

Art – Colour Mixing

We have been learning about the colour wheel. We enjoyed mixing the primary colours to create the secondary colours.

Maths

We have been learning how to use measuring equipment to share facts about ourselves including our height, hand span and head circumference.

We also thought about how angles can affect design to create our own optical illusion – a parabolic curve. We discussed how these key skills help people get jobs as architects and engineers and that we have seen it in real life bridges.

Literacy – reading cafe

We enjoyed ‘tasting’ a variety of books through our reading cafe. We explored different genres and discussed our favourite books. We wrote some recommendations for our library.

HWB – Leading our Learning

We have started to think about what we want to learn in P5 this term.
