To mark Thinking Day, lots of children in P5b came to school in Brownie or Cub uniforms. Don’t we look smart?!
P5a Healthy Snack
As part of our Health and Wellbeing studies, we have been looking at the Healthy Eating Plate and discussing ways in which we can keep our body healthy.
We decided as a whole class to create our own healthy snack recipe using ingredients from the Healthy Eating Plate. We used fresh fruit, honey, natural yoghurt and some ice to make a delicious and nutritious Fruit Slushie!
P5a Chinese New Year
Primary 5a have been learning Mandarin as part of our Modern Language studies. We have been practising some basic greetings and conversation as well as learning more about the Chinese culture.
In order to celebrate Chinese New Year, Primary 5a created some Chinese Dragon symbols using craft materials.
Our Mandarin teacher was very impressed with our knowledge and understanding of the Chinese New Year celebrations! Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
Communication Project
The yes no machine lets people who cannot speak answer yes or no questions by simply pressing a button.
5c have been learning how animals communicate through sound, sight, body language and electrical impulses. As part of their learning the pupils have invented and created prototypes of communication devices that can be used for a variety of reasons.
Collage art work
Primary 5c using collage to create interesting pieces of art.
Animal Communication Research
Today Primary 5a have been using ICT to support our research about how animals communicate. We are finding out how different animals use sound and vibration waves in order to exchange important information or warnings to one another.
Over the next three weeks we will;
- Take independent notes
- Produce labelled diagrams and illustrations
- Create a PowerPoint
- Present our findings
Circle Time
As part of our Health and Wellbeing input, Primary 5a have been learning to recognise and express our emotions.
Today we shared some of the things which might make us feel worried. We are starting to understand that more is expected of us in school, in our friendship groups and at home.
We all demonstrated care,  trust and respect for one another during discussion time.
Who stole Santa’s gifts?
Science Presentations
Primary 5a have worked very hard to produce an information poster all about an animal of their choice. Today the boys and girls put their talking and listening skills to the test by presenting their work to the rest of the class. Everyone did a fantastic job and should be very proud of themselves. Well done p5a!
Take a look at some of our posters and presentations in action…
