Primary 5 loved visiting our buddies in Primary 1 last week. It was great to join them in their classroom and to share our Mr Men and Little Miss stories with them. We enjoyed helping Primary 1 create their own characters and were impressed by their great ideas. We hope to get together with P1 again soon.

Welcome to our Class Blog where you will be able to keep up to date with all our learning. Everyone has settled well since returning from the long summer holiday and we are now back into the swing of things and working very hard.

This week we have been completing our Class Charter which has a Mr Men theme. We have agreed on the rights which we think are most important to us.

Staying with the theme of Mr Men we have been busy writing Mr Men and Little Miss Stories for the new Primary One children who we will be buddying this session.  We will be visiting them soon to share our books with them.

Primary 4 worked very hard at home to plan and prepare for their solo talks.

As a class we talked about the features of presenting. We discussed the importance of eye contact, loud, clear voice and the ability to ask and answer questions.

I loved hearing about what the children wanted to speak about. The different topics included  hobbies, interests,pets,siblings and important people.

Well done boys and girls. 

Primary four have been learning about electrical circuits in science. They explored the different symbols for components and understood that a circuit must be complete in order to work.

The pupils drew different electrical circuits to light up a bulb and move a motor. They then constructed the circuit using wires, bulbs, motors and switches.

Have a look at their amazing circuits.

Primary four had great fun using maths and art skills creating and designing Viking shields.

First they used a compass tool to draw the perfect circle then used their maths skills to split their circle into fractions, taking extra care to make their parts equal sizes.

They then selected their choice of paint to colour their shields.

Primary four had their first session of gymnastics today. They worked in groups and pairs to create fantastic partner balances and routines. They supported and encouraged each other while communicating clearly to each other.

They learned how to use new equipment and challenged themselves by adding in balancing and jumping on the horse.

They used a variety of ways to travel across a bench and experimented with different jump shapes ensuring they landed safely on two feet.

Primary 4 have been  learning about Glasgow. They have researched some of Glasgow’s landmarks using the internet and books and created fantastic notes. They then used their knowledge to create art work of the River Clyde and the Clydeside buildings.

Every day Primary 4 use a variety of strategies to practise their spelling words of the week!

Have a look at the different spelling strategies. (ARTICLE 28)

Today  Primary 4 explored the different bones that make up the human skeleton. They went on a bone hunt around the classroom and labelled the large skeleton on the wall! (ARTICLE 28)
