Well done!

A big well done to Primary 5 today! Their Sukkot assembly was fantastic – everyone was trying their hardest, and many teachers and other children came up to me afterwards to tell me how much they enjoyed it!

I hope everyone enjoys their few days off now – a wee reminder that we are not back until Wednesday now. There is no homework this week, as it is a holiday, and the class have worked so hard this week on their assembly.

We have a special guest in school next week, Tom Renwick, from Maths on Track. He will be working with our class on Wednesday morning – he did a training session with staff in August, and he is both very knowledgeable and very entertaining, so Primary 5 is in for a treat!

For now, rest and relax and have a lovely break – come back bright-eyed and bushy-tailed on Wednesday!

Update and Homework

Hello! I hope everyone enjoyed the long weekend.

This week, we have been very busy in Primary 5. The class has been working very hard. The Rectangles are working on multiplication and division with carrying, the Triangles have been finishing their unit on addition and subtraction with exchanging, the Circles have been looking at chance and probability, and the Squares have been working on dividing by 2. We have also been studying Alexander III, as part of our topic on the Scottish Wars of Independence. The class acted out some scenes about Alexander this week, made a cartoon strip and wrote a newspaper article about his untimely death. We’ve also been hard at work, practising our assembly, which will be in the afternoon of Thursday 20th September (next week). Phew! I don’t know how we managed to fit so much in to only three days of school!!!

Homework this week is the usual spelling words to look, cover, write, say and check. Learners can choose a spelling activity from the grid. There is also a maths sheet, where learners can choose which level they want to attempt (there are four) – it’s a version of Countdown.

We should be getting our very own Primary 5 Twitter account in the next week or so, and a link to this will be embedded in this class blog. It will be updated daily, by myself and the class! Can I remind parents/carers who have not sent back forms about photography permissions, that if you do not bring this back, we cannot include your child in any photos, to be used on the blog, Twitter, or even in the classroom? Just be aware of this, and if you would like your child to be in the photos, please send back the form asap.

Thank you for all your support, and thanks to all in Primary 5 for their hard work this week! Well done.

Shanah Tovah!

Shanah Tovah! I hope you all have a restful holiday, and that everyone comes back full of energy on Wednesday!

Here are some of the Rosh Hashanah cards that Primary 5 have been making – their topic this year has been Taschlich, so many of the cards reflect this. I am very impressed with their artistic skills! 

Many of the class have also been making antonym board games this week, and again, have showed their creative sides! Here are a selection.

Homework

The class have been given out homework, which is due on the 12th September because of the holidays next Monday and Tuesday. A couple of students have mentioned that they are finding it hard to complete homework because of extra-curricular clubs. If that is the case, please just let me know – homework is not mandatory, and I will understand!

The whole class have ten spelling words to Look, Cover, Write, Say, Check. Instead of sentences, this week’s spelling activity is writing their spelling words from small to big (the word with the least number of letters first, leading up to the longest word).

Rectangles have maths questions on multiplication, our topic for just now. Triangles have maths questions on addition, still working with hundreds, tens and units. Circles are looking at number systems from round the world and throughout history, so they have some hieroglyphic puzzles to solve. Squares are working on their multiplication, so they have questions on the 2x table for this week.

Edinburgh Book Festival

Primary 5 had a fantastic time at the Edinburgh Book Festival today! Several of our class volunteered to go up on stage during the event with Chloe Daykin, which was very brave. We also saw a short science show, and visited the book shop – there will be lots of reading going on at home over the next few weeks, I think!

The class behaved very well and we will talk about all that we learnt tomorrow.

Thanks again to all the parent helpers – you were brilliant!

Trip to the Edinburgh Book Festival

A wee reminder that children should bring a packed lunch and waterproofs (in case of rain) on Tuesday for the trip to the book festival. Children can also bring some money to buy books (up to £10 – no more, please).

We’re all very excited about meeting the author of our class novel!

Homework Due 03/09/18

First homework of the year!

The homework tasks this week are:

  • a maths worksheet, consolidating learning on place value
  • spelling words, to Look Cover Write Say Check (copy twice)
  • spelling activity – write five sentences that include five of the spelling words for this week

Welcome to Primary 5

Welcome to the Primary 5 Class Blog for 2018-2019! Thank you to everyone who came along to the Meet the Teacher event this afternoon – it was lovely to meet you all. I hope I was able to answer any questions or concerns that you had. For anyone who was unable to attend, I’ve uploaded the PowerPoint slides, which have some information on about the class timetable, homework, communication, etc.

I’m looking forward to working with you this year!

Meet the Teacher Presentation

19 January 2018

P4 – 18th January  2018

It has been a wintery start to the year!

Today P4 presented Kabbalat Shabbat and we chose Mary’s Meals as our charity to give our tzdakah.

In Language we have been learning about similarities and differences and we have chosen books from the library to read for enjoyment.

P4 have been practising multiplication and division and we know how important it is to practice our times tables.

We are taking part in the Israel70 project which is a celebration of Israel’s 70 birthday. 25 Jewish primary and secondary schools and 10 Israeli museums are involved. We have to choose an object from the special catalogue, get inspired, research and create something artistic like art paintings, videos, sculptures and plays. These will be displayed in London and Israel and we can visit the exhibitions free of charge with a special ticket.

P4 have not chosen our artefact…but we will very soon!

It has mostly been indoor playtimes and lunchtimes so far in 2018 but we have been out and made snowmen and an igloo, we had great fun!

Bye Jonah and Mishal

 

Week Ending 24th November

This week in primary 4 we have been …

On Thursday we continued to work on our finding information skills in literacy we did this by completing some key comprehension work and we had to identify the question types. We all had different  things to do in different groups. The Gangster granny group had a poem to read and others read a story. After that we did spelling task in our jotters.

On Tuesday we had P.E. We did gymnastics. We were doing forward and backwards rolls.

Some people showed examples of rolls. We got into groups of fours. Then we played tag.

On Wednesday we went to the science lab. We were  learning about joints in the human body. We looked at model skeletons to identify the three types of joints and then recorded this in our jotters.

On Thursday in PE we played rebound games. We played bingo and domes and dishes then we  played Tennis.
