This term in PE we have been practising our football skills. We have done lots of possession drills such as King of the Ring and Crabs. We’ve also practised shooting, passing and dribbling. Finally we finish each session with some competition in the form of a game. It has been great to see everyone improving their skills over the last few weeks.

Thank you to everyone who managed along to our first open afternoon of the session. Our open afternoons allow you to see a snapshot of the children’s experiences at school and it was great that so many families were able to make it. A big thank you to Mrs Carey for leading our Music session, too, and managing to get us all up on our feet participating in the songs. Please click on the videos below to get a taste of the fun.

Afterwards we were designing our own Coat of Arms having learned about them as part of our work on the Scottish Wars of Independence in Social Studies. Below you can see a few examples of the finished artwork. I’m sure you will agree the children did a lovely job.
Don’tworry if you didn’t make it along this time as we will be having a second afternoon later in the session.

Primary 5 had a lovely morning visiting our little buddies in Primary 1. We had written Mr Men and Little Miss stories to read to the younger children. We also helped them design their own Mr Men characters and helped them to write a sentence to describe their character. Afterwards we stayed for a short play and then we watched a short film about Little Miss Bossy where she is taught a lesson.

Welcome to our first blog post of Primary 5. Everyone has made a good start to the new school session and we are all working hard. We are settling into our new class routines and getting back into the swing of school life after the summer holiday.

In class we have been busy discussing Children’s Rights and have created our Class Charter which the class voted to give a Space theme. We have also begun creating some new artwork to personalise our classroom. Please visit regularly to keep up to date with the fantastic work we will be doing over the session.
