On Monday, we did some maths then we went out to the MUGA for PE then it was break time.

After break we did DLL, during DLL we were reading non-fiction books to tie in with our topic.  The books we are reading are called ‘Ocean Alive’, ‘Under Water Treasure’ and ‘Living with Climate Change’.

On Tuesday we were learning about our topic ‘Life Below Water’ and we also learned on Friday that we will be learning about Scottish Landscapes particularly one which is very close to home….the Craigie!

During Outdoor Learning, we took part in a Scavenger Hunt locating the correct orienteering map symbol for features around the playground.  We will be learning more about maps and using these new skills during further orienteering experiences.

Primary 5 have spent a lot of time celebrating in prayers with Fr. Joe this week.  He visited us in class for confessions on Monday, he came into the school for our stage mass on Tuesday and on Friday we walked to Church for First Friday Mass which was Fr. Joe’s last mass at St John’s.  We wish him lots of luck in his new parish in Port Glasgow.

Ruby announced to the whole school during Assembly that the Eco-Committee has a new name, they are now the Stewards of Creation.  Ruby will continue to represent p5a in the Stewards of Creation Committee.  Sarraa and April represented p5a in St Marks first ever Equalities Committee meeting on Wednesday and Mikey and Arham were successful at their interview to become P5a’s Digital Leaders.   Well done to them all!

We’ve had a very busy week.
