Mr\u00a0Atkinson\u2019s comment:<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Friday primary 5 parents\/guardians should receive two tickets from their child inviting them to the Christmas Window\u00a0<\/em>performance on Tuesday 13th December at 2.00pm. If you have not done so already can all primary 5 pupils bring in a Christmas jumper or accessories that can be worn on top of their school uniform. It is recommended that these items are brought in a bag with your name on it. Please do not\u00a0<\/u>buy anything as we will be able to provide some items, however, if you have anything spare we would appreciate if these could also be brought in.<\/p>\n

Just a final reminder that there will be no more woodland session this term.<\/p>\n

Literacy and English<\/b><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Sophie –\u00a0<\/strong>We have been continuing with our diary writing! This week we tea-stained a piece of paper to make it look old and then we wrote an imaginative diary entry from the perspective of a Titanic survivor. We assessed these by reading them aloud to a group and then gave each other verbal feedback by using the success criteria.<\/p>\n

Alfie –\u00a0<\/strong>Before writing our diaries we thought it would be useful to think about the different senses and emotions the Titanic passengers would have experienced. We created a list of helpful vocabulary and phrases and organised them under senses headings.<\/p>\n

Heena –\u00a0<\/strong>This week we have been learning about the differences between fact and opinions, particularly within sources. We then explored opinions further and discussed how people can have differing or the same opinion but this can be affected by their point of view\/perspective. We looked at an example of when Matthew Perry visited Japan and how the Japanese and Americans\u00a0 viewed him differently in picture sources.<\/p>\n

Numeracy and Maths<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Finlay –\u00a0<\/strong>This week all the groups completed check-ups covering different topics that we have been taught this term.<\/p>\n

Health and Wellbeing<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Finlay-<\/strong> With Mr McMillan, we started our football block focusing on dribbling and passing this week.<\/p>\n

IDL<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Heena –\u00a0<\/strong> We created ships logs and chronologically ordered events that happened on the day of the sinking of the Titanic to create a timeline. This also challenged us to use our reading skill summarising when writing done some of the key facts.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Science\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Heena –\u00a0<\/strong>In science this week we have been learning about floating and sinking. We discovered that molecules affects the density of an object. Items that have closely packed molecules are more dense than loosely packed objects. Density is one of the factors that causes some items to float and sink. We tested this out but changing the shape of play-doh. A ball of play-doh sunk but play-doh in a flat shape stayed afloat.<\/p>\n

Technology<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Kate –\u00a0<\/strong>We also finished designed our safe roads on Tinkercad. Some of us created speed bumps, signs, traffic lights, fences and\u00a0 pedestrian crossings.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

RME<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Mehr –\u00a0<\/strong>The P6 pupils visited the Baptist Church and learned about Jesus. We also took part in a range of fun activities such as creating decorative tiles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
