Achievement outside of School

A big well done to our P5 pupil, who was awarded the ‘MVP’ (most valuable player) at their winterbowl tournament in Dec.

A big well done for our P5 pupil, who completed a mammoth 22-mile challenge at The Foundry pool, which saw him and his dad rack up 1,416 lengths between them and raise nearly £1000.

A big well done to our P5 pupil,  who took 1st place, winning her a gold medal, on Sunday for Double Mini Trampolining at the Scottish National Championships 2019 in Perth!

 

British Isles: Mapping

We have started our new topic this week. Our topic is the British Isles, we will be finding out about the landscapes around the British Isles and how these were formed and how they are used now.

Pupils have created questions about the British Isles which we will explore over the term. These questions included

Are there volcanoes in the British Isles?

What the tallest mountain?

Do sharks live in the British Isles?

Mapping Skills

Our first task was to identify countries, borders, seas and oceans using atlases.

Sharing our Elf stories

Over the last few weeks Primary 5 have been writing their own stories about elves to share with Primary 1 and Primary 2.  They had to consider the audience they were writing for and had to go through the redrafting process. After this they made books and illustrated them.

Once they had completed the book, they had to consider how they were going to read the book to younger children, considering their tone, expression and volume.

Primary 2a were very impressed.

Homework 9th December

P5a have education city numeracy homework.

Spelling homework will be handed out tomorrow – apologies for the delay.

Pupils have access to Literacy Planet, which reinforces a range of literacy skills.
