Sharing the learning
At forest school we have been learning how to tie knots and to make shelters water proof.

We’ve been learning to code in technologies with Mrs Guy. We used the programme called ‘Scratch’. We made a bus drive but Scratch the cat was late and didn’t get the bus on time however the flying hippo did get there in time!
We were using our digital skills and we were focusing to remember the codes.

We have be making smoothies like Tootie Fruity, Tropical Tornado and Blueberry Blast.
We picked our own groups and we worked together to make them following a recipe.
It was fun when we were making it and blending it.
Tatiana took photos and video which will be shared later.

As our social studies topic this term is the Ancient Egyptians, P5b were challenged to create a pyramid this week in the STEM area.
Have a look at some of our creations so far!
Look at this amazing piece of Egyptian art that Arya brought in to share with the class.
Primary 5b enjoyed looking the picture. We noticed the colours were amazingly bright and that the papyrus felt a little bit crispy, hard and grainy.
We also noticed the people in the painting were wearing eye make up and that there was symbols drawn on the walls. We wondered what the symbols meant.🤔
Thank you so much for sharing your precious art with us Arya.
Primary 5b were able to tick off their first Make Your Mark experience on Monday at forest school.
Working collaboratively in small groups, they were tasked with building a waterproof shelter.
Each team was given a tarpauline sheet, four tent pegs and four bungie cords.
Children could also use sticks and other natural materials that they could collect in the forest.
The children identified that problem solving skills, team work and communication skills were vital to succeed in this challenge.
Mrs Sutherland also noticed the children were developing their adaptability, leadership and feeling skills too ensuring that everyone in the team felt valued and heard during this task.
Have a look at our photos and videos to see how each group created a unique waterproof shelter!
A mixture of pictures from a very busy week in P5a 😊.
The children have been enjoying private reading time in class 📚.
We were using the atlases to locate where Egypt is 🇪🇬.
Then to finish the week off, we played some rebound games to practise our hand to eye coordination 🎾 .
At forest school we were getting used to the forest again. Taking risks when climbing trees, being creative making oat and chestnut curry in the forest kitchen and playing team building skills building our confidence when moving around the forest. We know to stay within the boundary trees to keep us safe.
Our topic in P5 is Egypt. We were learning where to find Egypt on a map. Did you know there are Asian elephants and African elephants? You can tell the difference by the shape of their ears.

Well done to Annabelle for carrying out some super research at home about the Egyptians 😊.

Problem solving in action!
Using a variety of problem solving strategies including acting it out and making a list / table, p5b successfully figured out how many combinations of strips could be made using the 6 pieces of football kit.
Ask us at home to tell you how we did it!
Well done to Isla-Rose who has done some super research at home for our term 1 topic, Ancient Egypt 🇪🇬.
Fantastic work 👏
