What a treat P5 had today! Two very kind engineers came and helped us build a bridge. We worked as a team to figure out the quickest and safest way to build the bridge, walk over it and then dismantle it again.
Thank you very much for an amazing, hands on experience.
This afternoon P5 were very lucky to get the opportunity to interview a civil engineer.
We got to ask a lot of questions and found out some really interesting facts.
“I found out that Joe was inspired to be an engineer by his love for bridges”. Maya
“He studied very hard to become an engineer. Before this he was a joiner and liked fixing things”. Lewis H
”He works for Network Rail. Sometimes his shifts can be very long, up to 14 hours”. Brodie
“He works with a big group of people who all work together as a team”. Khayrah
P5 are looking forward to doing some more research about the roles and responsibilities of civil engineers and other types of engineers.
Thank you very much for visiting us Joe.
PE- Tennis:
We have just started a block of tennis skills during our PE time! On Friday we began with practising our technique with partners and then individually. Have a look below:
Numeracy: Kahoot
We love playing Kahoot in teams and have regularly being incorporating these into our Mental Maths!
STEM: Engineering
Today we took part in an Engineering workshop! We began by thinking about what we already knew about the job of an engineer before thinking about the skills that an engineer would need to have. We will be taking part in a competition to try and win an Engineering Award! In the coming weeks we will begin our entries for this exciting competition.
We then took part in this Diamond Nine activity in which we decided which skills we felt were the most important in being an engineer!
Burns Day:
Have a look at the lovely tartan we wore for our Burns assembly and Ceilidh a few weeks ago!
St Ninians: P5A and B
We took part in a range of activities across different stations when we went to St Ninians! Have a look below.
Have a lovely February weekend everyone!
Primary 5d have had another action packed week.
Engineering:
On Monday we were very lucky to have a visit from some Civil Engineers. After learning about some projects that civil engineers carry out, we took part in an activity investigating and demonstrating ‘Flood Risk’. We had great fun!
Remembrance:
This week, especially, we remembered all those special to us who have died. We have learned about Remembrance Day and we did some activities to show our respect for those people.
Science:
In our next topic in science, we are going to be learning about Biodiversity. This week we discussed what a diverse range of living things we have on our planet. We are looking forward to investigating this further.
On Tuesday, we went out to the Chestnut garden to identify some living things in our local environment. We are looking forward to learning about habitats, species and ecosystems.
Reading:
We had a very chilled out morning in the library this week. We selected a book and found a really comfortable place to unwind and read. Keep up the rich reading P5d!
Maths:
We are really enjoying having more active fun, in class and outdoors, with our maths learning. This week, we continued using lots of active materials as we learn about division, fractions and decimal fractions.
Well done P5d! Keep up all the fantastic work 🙂
