P5d Outdoor Learning

Despite the bad weather, P5d persevered and went outdoors this week to do some Maths work.

Last week, we went to the Chesnut garden and collected sticks and other materials that were lying around the ground. Before we went out, we discussed what we might need to look out for.

This week, we went to the outdoor classroom and created symmetrical pictures and patterns using these shapes.

We also used our knowledge of 3D and 2D shapes to create models and pictures of shapes.

We worked in teams of 5 or 6 to read our brief and then collaborate to create our ideas.

Well done P5d. You worked very hard as a team and enjoyed your learning outdoors. 🙂

P5d Reflect on another busy week!

This week has been another busy week with plenty of fun and learning.

Our Lady of the Missions 60th Birthday

This week we went to St. Vincent’s church for Mass. We celebrated our schools 60^th birthday. “Brodie”

It was a beautiful Mass and we all enjoyed a day of celebration for our school. It was very interesting to learn some facts about the school and when it opened. It was funny to think that our school opened with four children!

P.E. St. Ninians – Sports Leaders

On Tuesday afternoon, we went to St. Ninian’s to do sports. We did athletics circuits. “Maya”

My favourite station was the hurdling one. “Ellie-Angel”

I liked the speed bounce one because you had to try and jump over the hurdle from side to side. “Vincent”

It was a fantastic opportunity for us to develop our fitness skills in St. Ninians with the sports leaders. The stations were great fun and everyone really enjoyed themselves. Thanks to everyone at St. Ninians for organising it for us.

STEM

This week, in the STEM room, we learned about changes of matter; solids, liquids and gases. I liked the sorting activity. (Mirin)

Well done Primary 5 on another jammed packed week. Have a lovely weekend!

Welcome back Primary 5!

This week was our first full week in Primary 5d. We had a very busy week. We were getting used to our new routine, our new classroom and our new teacher.

This afternoon, we are reflecting on some of the things we did this week.

“We went to the STEM room, on Tuesday, with Miss Collins and Miss Gavin. We did a science experiment. We created a chemical reaction using vinegar and salt. The solution cleaned a copper coin. I loved doing this because it was an active task and I had never done it before.” Lewis

“On Monday and Thursday we did the daily mile and PE outside. We did lots of active games. It was great because I like being sporty and active.” Maya

“On Wednesday, we made cookies for our class charter, using Microsoft Word on Laptops. Everyone created a different cookie. We voted to make our charter theme ‘Cookies’. I loved using the laptops because it was fun and after we got a chance to play some games.” Rocco

Well done P5d! You worked very hard on your first full week back at school. Have a great weekend.
