Hi everyone

What a busy week we have had in P4/5.

We had fun at our Christmas parties. Everyone looked lovely in their party clothes.

We created wonderful recount stories based on a video called the Unexpected Guest.

We also worked extremely hard to create Christmas decorations. It was a challenge but we used a Positive Growth Mindset  as well lots of  determination to complete our task and the results were excellent.  (our sewing skills have also improved greatly).

We also had a visit from Primary 7 who led a lesson to help us design a front cover from our favourite movie .

A wonderful end to a wonderful year.

Lastly, I would like to thank you for your support so far this session.  Your children are exceptional and an absolute joy to teach.

Many thanks

Mrs Mckim

Good afternoon

P4/5 have enjoyed a busy week this week. Our P5 children have been busy preparing our Christmas Carol Service for you to enjoy next week and our P4 children have been working hard on their mini topic ‘Our Oceans’.

We had a lovely visit to the present room today and the children were very excited to buy their gift.

We have started our new Social Studies Topic ‘Titanic’ . We have been learning about the ship and her various sections. The children have also been allocated a family/job and social class. This will help with developing our knowledge of the class system of the time.  The children are excited to create their family backstory as well as finding out where they would have lived on the ship. We plan to do lots of drama activities too.

It was also Christmas Jumper Day. I am sure you will agree that we all look fabulous!

Have a lovely weekend

Mrs McKim and P4/5

This week the children of P4/5 will be writing the blog.

Good day everyone

On Monday we did our spelling in the morning and read our new reading books. We are learning to summarise and we have  been working in groups to summarise fairy tales. We have also completed summarising activities in comprehension.

In writing we created a formal letter to the Science Centre to thank them for our wonderful visit. We were able to use the correct layout, use a variety of connectives  and name four things we enjoyed about our visit.

We have been very busy in Maths and Numeracy. Some of us have been learning about 3D objects and others have been learning about various numeracy concepts and bearings.

In ICT we used the platform Scratch. We created characters and  we made it do various things through coding.

We have had a very busy week and looking forward to the weekend.

Love from P4/5
