Welcome to Primary 6.1, here’s to a great year⭐️!
Here is a little showcase of just a couple of pieces of work we have completed so far✏️.
Can you figure us out?💡➕➖✖️➗
Acrostic poems⭐️.
A very arty class indeed🎨🖼️
We can’t wait to show it off at Open Afternoon!
This week Primary 5 have been performing their short talks. They have been very entertaining and on a host of interesting topics. Innis started us off with a great talk about Newcastle United football team. We have also heard about special holidays, pets and hobbies amongst other things. Well done, P5!
Primary 5 are making good progress with Level 1 of Bikeability although so far the weather hasn’t been in our favour. 😢 Everyone is enjoying the sessions and showing good control of their bikes.
This term Primary 5 have produced lots of lovely artwork inspired by our topic. We have painted cherry blossom trees, and recreated Hokusai’s famous views of Mount Fuji and the Great Wave using pastels. We have also created mixed media Koi Fish using crayons and watercolours. Here is a selection of our work.
Primary 5 had a great day at the Glasgow Science Centre for our end of year trip. We enjoyed exploring all the cool zones and the Bodyworks theatre show too where we were entertained with some exciting experiments.
Primary 5 were learning about the signs of a chemical reaction. 
Primary 5 have been learning to compose a melody to match a rhythm, with Mrs Carey our specialist Music teacher. The children worked in groups to compose their music and then some members of the class performed the tunes on the glockenspiel. You can listen to some of them below.
This week Primary 5 had great fun participating in Sports Day! We were very lucky to have such lovely sunny weather for the occasion. In the morning we took part in the potted sports activities and in the afternoon the whole school were together for our House race events and the tug of war. Everyone put in a great effort and had a fantastic day!
It’s hard to believe we are already into our final term of Primary 5. This term will be a busy one with our school trip and sports day to look forward to. Primary 5 will also be participating in level one of Bikeability later in the term and so are hoping for good weather. No doubt we will meet up with our Buddies too which we always enjoy.
This term in Social Studies we will be learning about Japan. We will find out about the landscape and culture of the country and will be creating some artwork on the theme of Japan. In languages we will be learning to talk about clothes in French and we are lucky enough to be having some more Mandarin too. In PE we have started a block of short tennis and hope to practise athletics.
We have already started our new class novel, in Literary, called Christophe’s Story. It tells the story of a young boy who leaves his home country of Rwanda for a new life in England. We spent some time in our first lesson finding out a little about the country of Rwanda and its location in the world. Chapter one of the novel was quite intriguing and so we are looking forward to finding out more about Christophe’s story.
Primary 5 have been outside measuring the perimeter of the playground in groups. Lots of discussions about jobs that need to measure the perimeter.
