Climate change superhero’s

Saint Andrew’s day!
On Monday we celebrated Saint Andrew’s day. We spoke about the life of our Patron Saint of Scotland and why Scotland celebrate this day. Primary 5 showed their creativity with their posters for Saint Andrew’s day and some pupils volunteered to show us their Scottish Highland dancing!
Scottish wars of Independence
P5a have designed some fantastic shields for battle as part of their topic. A lot of hard work has went into these and they are very proud of them! We used lots of recycled materials such as shoe boxes, cereal boxes, jar lids, plastic lids, lollipop sticks, beads, pieces from board games and used paint, pencils and tinfoil to decorate.
We then split into groups and did team quizzes and brainstorms of facts we
Our wants and needs
This week P5a have continued their health and well-being connected and compassionate classroom lessons. We had lots of discussion and group work on what are wants and needs in our lives and the difference between these. We then learned about what rights are and the rights a child has.
Wow words
Primary 5a have been focusing this term on up levelling their sentences for their writing. We practiced writing sentences with chalk using a variety of wow words from our wow word bank.
Division
Today we were solving division problems using ourselves by splitting into groups and in some cases there were remainders! Primary 5 were able to apply their team building and problem solving skills for this activity. 
Outdoor learning- Laudato si
Primary 5 explored the outdoors today and were looking at the world that God created for us to enjoy. We discussed ways to help our environment by focusing on “reduce, reuse and recycle” in order to protect the planet. We were able to identify the positive and negative impact mankind can have on our planet. The task was to find what was natural or man made in our environment. We then decided to carryout litter picking as a first step to helping our environment and we even kept a count of how much litter we could find.
“plastic is not fantastic!”
Outdoor learning
On Monday we were focusing on using our senses to help us create an Autumn poem. We had lots of discussions around this season and the importance of our senses. Primary 5 had some amazing ideas and included some great wow words in their notes.
Halloween week
We have had a Halloween themed curriculum this week which involved spooky writing, haunted comprehension tasks, Halloween riddle hunt and finished off with a class Halloween party! 👻
