On Tuesday, Mrs Santi and Miss Morgan stepped aside as our teachers for the morning and allowed Jack to take over and teach us some Judo moves. Don’t worry, they kept an eye on us so that there were no real fights! It was great fun. Jack taught us how to bow and what to say, how to pin somebody down successfully on a mat and how to use your legs to get them to fall to the ground. We wish it had lasted longer so we could have learned more moves but it was really fun to work with the St Claire’s pupils.

The Primary 5 Class

On Thursdays in Primary 5, we work on our fitness! We have been doing this with the Primary 7 class, which has been a lot of fun and is making us work even harder because we would love to beat them at the different challenges.

We have been learning core strategies for fitness, especially ones that we can do with little space, time and zero equipment!

Ariel Amobi: “We have been learning 5 different activities:
Planking; squats; sit ups; press ups and burpees! I think it has helped me work on my stamina and fitness, because I love to exercise!”

The Primary 5 Class, along with the Primary 3 class, travelled to Edinburgh to attend the annual Book Festival.

We had such a wonderful time!

We have written all about our experiences in our writing jotters, when we completed our recounts. We hope you get the chance to check them out when they get sent home. They will tell you all about the authors and illustrators that we met, the activities and workshops we took part in and the books we went on to buy.

In our first week in our brand new school, we have had a lovely opportunity to meet and spend some time with the pupils of the Primary 5 class in St Claire’s. We all met in the hub and we were able to chat to lots of different boys and girls and ask them 5 things about themselves. We then shared this information with both classes.

It was a wonderful opportunity to meet new people and find out things we all had in common. We think it’s going to be great sharing a campus with St Claire’s.

Welcome to the new Primary 5 Class Blog.

I am sorry for the delay in posting these updates, but there have been a few technical difficulties since we have started back. So much so, I am having to update these blogs on Mr Robson’s account at the moment until my own account is fixed.

We’re very excited to share with our readers all about the new, fun and interesting things we will be doing in Primary 5 this year.

Thanks,
Mrs Santi

Let me take a moment to introduce the wonderful pupils of Calderwood Lodge’s Primary 5 class:
