WB 18th March

On Monday we did maths straight after break. In our maths lesson we were learning how to calculate the duration of thing using the chunking method. After lunch we did topic and it was really fun!  We created out Refugee Welcome Packs.

When we got in on Tuesday we did PE with Mr Farrell we did running,  jumping and throwing. The first line was 10 points, second line was 20 points and the last line was 50 points. Whoever got the beanbag outside of the MUGA got 100 points.

On Wednesday, we had Assembly first thing in the morning. P4B were talking  about litter and how we should stop because the wind will blow it into the sewers and it will affect the sea fishes.

When it was Thursday we wrote letters to refugees and put them into the refugee bags. We were then supposed to walk around the MUGA 15 times for SCIAF but it was too rainy so we could not.

On Friday we planted sunflowers for our class novel because at the start of the book they planted flowers! We are going to watch them grow in class then take them home to continue watching them.  Then we read “The Boy At The Back Of The Class” which was written by Onjali Q. Rauf.  We are so close to finishing the book.

WB 11th March

This week our main focus is time with STEM because it is British Stem Week.  We had a visitor who is a doctor.  She told us about her job and how she has to manage her time to ensure that the patients get the care they need on time.

On Monday, we researched and drafted our Diversity Champion fact files after  STEM filled morning.

On Tuesday, in the morning we did PE for PE  we had a bike obstacle course.  There were ramps , balance beams and seesaws .

We had a workshop with the STEM leaders.  They taught us how to make cars out of lollipop sticks and plastic lids and we timed them rolling down a ramp.  We then used a formula to work out the speed the car travelled.

On Thursday we used the Microbits during technologies.

On Friday we practiced for our Learning Assembly and took part in Live STEM workshop where we learned about an underground lab.

We have brought our jotters home today to show our families at home.  We must bring them back to school on Monday

We are still collecting donations for our welcome pack projects for Refuweegee.  We have 1 more week to go before we can start to make packs.

We started a new block of PE lessons with Mr Farrel again.  This time our focus is on Athletics.  We had to time ourselves doing a 20m sprint.  We then divided the time by 20 to calculate the speed we ran at.

On Wednesday  we had assembly and Anas and Jessie had to do a speech.

Thursday was World Book Day and we took part in a live football and book themed quiz.  After lunch we have a Book Blether with Primary 4b.

On Friday we walked to the Barrhead Foundry to collect our World Book Day free books!!  When we got back to school we got to read them and then take part in a World Book Day Treasure Hunt organised by Mrs Farren.

WB 26th February

James and Lacy announced our appeal to the whole school this week during assembly.   We are collecting pre loved toys and games to create welcome packs for refugee children who arrive in Scotland.  We are collecting for 2 weeks.

Our exposition writing was linked to our appeal as our writing was to persuade others to donate to our appeal.  We created posters on Canva and these letters and posters are displayed around the school.

In maths we finished our unit of measurement by exploring capacity.   We got to make an guess / estimates then accurately measure the volume of the water or liquid in the  bottles.   We then moved in to reading and writing decimal fractions!

During PE this week we worked with p2 to explore the loose parts outdoors making a variety of games, marble runs and obstacle courses.  On Friday, we had a game of rounders with P5A!

Father Joe came into p5  and we made our confessions before going to our mass  on Friday morning.  After mass on Friday we stayed to pray the Stations of the Cross we were happy with ourselves we all joined in and all prayed we also got the Eucharist.  🙂

Even though this week has been very short we have done a lot of things.

On Wednesday we had an Ash Wednesday service and most of us got our ashes.

On Thursday we learnt a new type of writing called exposition writing , for music on that day we learnt a new rhythm that was very fun to learn .  In  our Technologies lesson with Mrs Guy we got to explore the programme Canva.  We used it to create a new front cover for our class novel ‘The Boy at the Back of the Class’.

Today for PE we were continuing with our striking and fielding lessons and before lunch we made an orange heart to say that everyone is welcome .

WB 29.1.24

This week we have being doing our comprehension assessments.    In maths we were revising formal addition calculations and in PE we have been learning about striking and fielding.  On Tuesday we have to work well as a team to make an obstacle course for our team to get a ball from 1 place to another.   Today we continued developing our team working skills by playing rounders.  We have been also been learning to apply tactics when taking part in these activities games.

We are up to chapter 11  in our class novel ‘The Boy at the Back of the Class’ and have been enjoying learning about our own culture and others in our class.   Mohammed Almeer’s  mum came into class and spoke to us and P5a about her religion, her background and the culture in Pakistan.  We learned she can speak 5 languages!

Happy New Year!! Week 19 learning!


Happy New Year from everyone in P5b!!

We have had a very busy first week back!
We have been revising maths concepts this week and sharing the different strategies we each used to work out the answer to the questions given.

We enjoyed our independent learning time during maths this week some of us worked as a team try to beat the clock during ‘Hit the Button’ and some tried to create symmetrical patterns with blocks/Lego.  Some children challenged themselves with trying tricky levels on ‘The Daily 10’  and we enjoyed sorting out the fraction pieces and exploring what different sized fractions looked like and comparing them to each other!
Mrs Sutherland noticed lots of excellent mathematical thinking and conversations happening!!

In music, we were listening to a lovely Scottish song and were able to identify the instruments we heard in the piece -penny whistle, bagpipes and guitar.  We then sang along with the track and Mrs Carey played the guitar.

Our writing focus this term is recount writing.  We started off our block by identifying the key components of example recount texts and looking at the language used to sequence the main events!!
Ask us at home to tell you the purpose of recount writing and the four key features of a recount writing.
We are excited to retell events and experiences.

In PE, we are continuing our block of ceilidh dancing lessons in preparation for our Stage Ceilidh!  We worked with p5a and learned a new dance.
We  started a new topic of striking and fielding!  We had fun playing a game of Cone Collecting where we had to demonstrate our teamwork skills and had the chance to practise thinking about playing a game using tactics!

For our new class topic we will be learning about culture and diversity.

It has been busy first week!!

Week 12 Learning (WB 6th November)

During assembly on Wednesday, Primary 5 shared 2 of their Make your Mark experiences with the whole school.  Abiela and Logan from p5a spoke about when we made smoothies. Anas and Hawaa from our class presented about Pond Dipping.  Our presenters were fabulous!  P5 were fantastic audience members encouraging and supporting their classmates who were bravely leading the presentation.

We recapped the names of angles during our maths lesson on Tuesday with this fun song! It’s so catchy the song has been stuck in Mrs Sutherland’s head all week!!

In French this week we enjoyed playing a game of ‘Jacque A Dit’ (Simon Says).  It was a fun way of testing our knowledge of french body parts!  Ask us how to play at home and see how well we do!!

Our focus in PE is Scottish Ceilidh dancing in preparation for our next Make your Mark learning experience.  We had fun learning the Virginia Reel! It was tricky to keep in time with the music but we know we will be experts soon!

It is Book Week Scotland next week, children are welcome to bring in their favourite book to read and talk about in class! 📚❤️

Have a good weekend,

Mrs Sutherland.
