Indoor PE

As we have had so much wet weather this week, we have had to do indoor PE in the class.  We have enjoyed doing some PE with Joe Wicks and interactive games and exercises.

Solo Talks

This week we have been presenting our solo talks. They have been very good and interesting. Listening to our friends share their hobbies/interests is fun and entertaining.

Have a lovely Easter Holiday!!

Outdoor Learning

This week we were trying to create habitats for different animals and insects in the school garden.  We enjoyed finding lots of worms and slugs which found new homes in our habitats.

During outdoor learning it was really fun when we got to create the habitats for the bugs. We also managed to place some bugs into homes. – Abby

We were looking at animals native to Scotland. We were looking for some in the Woodlands and found some worms and different slugs. – Alexander

Art

Over the last few weeks we have been learning about tone and texture in art.  We have create a couple of self portraits and this week we used the knowledge we have learnt to create a mixed media picture of the Titanic.

We were making art of the Titanic. We painted it using watercolours. It was sort of tricky to get the colours correct. – Ben

I enjoyed making the Titanic art, it was really fun! I made a sunset in my background. I created the painting using watercolours and pencils. – Mariia

Roald Dahl

This week P5 have been undertaking an author study about Roald Dahl as part of our World Book Day events.  We worked in groups to research key areas of his life and presented our knowledge as a poster.  A few of us took our posters to assembly so that we could share our learning with the upper school.

WC – I enjoyed this study as it was fun and we learned about lots of new  books.

AM – Each table read different Roald Dahl books and we made posters about him and his life. It was great fun!

World Book Day

On Thursday we took part in a live author’s event with Ben Lyttleton and Kit Brown.  We enjoyed hearing from professional football players and participating in the interactive quiz.

Book Swap

RMcK – “It was cool walking in and there were so many books to choose from.”

MMS- “I really like the book I got at the book swap.”

II – ” I got a very good book and I can’t wait to use my book token to get ‘Greg the Sausage Roll.”

Crookfur Grand Designs

This week have taken part in the Crookfur Grand  Designs Challenges and came up with lots of creative ways to enhance our reading corner.

Year Group of the Week

This week P5 have been awarded Year Group of the Week, therefore we will have an extra play next week as a reward for lining up quickly and quietly.

Grow Your £5

The highlight of our week has been our ‘Grow Your £5’ event at Parent’s Night on Wednesday.

We had great fun selling our products and calculating our profit.

As some our our businesses still have products to sell we will aim to advertise our products to the rest of the school and have a final event before the end of term, which will allow us to calculate our final profit and decide what we would like to do with our earnings.

DCs hot chocolate was delicious.

WMJ “some people commented that our bracelets looked cute”

Thank you to our parent’s for supporting our business ventures! 🙂

Tennis

During P.E, we were developing our tennis skills. We worked in threes to develop our aim, reaction time and accuracy in returning the tennis ball. We really enjoyed this activity!

After some practising we added in a net. This was only our second time using the net while having a rally so we need work at our skills in order to do this.

Have a lovely weekend P5A 😊
