Thanks again for being an amazing class. You all worked so hard and we are very proud of you!

I can’t believe this is our last full week in P5a. The class and I have been very emotional taking down the wall displays and sending everything home! We have had lots of fun activities this week and more to come on Monday and Tuesday. For everyone who has already left school for the summer, Mrs Fry and myself wish you all the best in Primary 6 and we miss you already!

Matthew- We have been competing in Sumdog competitions against our groups (revising time, area and perimeter, multiplication and division) and taking turns of maths board games and card games.

Health and Wellbeing:
Sophie B- We were learning about keeping safe and our five trusted individuals. We played feelings charades, we sorted scenarios on to traffic lights (red is don’t feel safe, yellow is feel ok, green is feel safe completely) and we draw around our hands to show the 5 people we would go to if we were feeling unsafe.

Health and Wellbeing:
