P5 sport their Brownies & Cubs uniforms

Primary 5 enjoyed wearing their Brownies and Cubs uniforms today.

P5a

“What I like about Cubs is we are allowed to do games and also do some challenges. Sometimes we go to places cutting thorns and other outdoor activities. I love being part of Cubs because we learn really important life skills.” Marcus

“I like Brownies because we get lots of badges if we complete certain activities. Some of my friends from school go too and I like seeing them outside of school. My favourite part about the club is the arts and crafts.” Louise

P5b

“I like playing games with all my Brownie friends. I love clock in the tower because sometimes if no one has a partner they can go into the middle. My favourite part of Brownies was doing the Halloween challenges.” Scarlett

“I like going to cubs because we do fun activities like jumping over ropes and things like that. Sometimes we do a jumble sale and the cubs post leaflets around about it. We sell things like old games consoles and things like that.” Ethan

P5c

“I like going to cubs because we do activities that we wouldn’t do anywhere else. I like playing diamond football and the port and starboard game.” Paul

“I like being a part of the Brownies club because we have a lot of fun. We do arts and crafts. I also like drawing.” April

P5d

“I like Cubs because we play fun games and activities. We play games in the park. I like rounders and football.” Lucas

“I love Brownies because we get to do arts and crafts. At Christmas we made elves and sewed them. We also get to play games.” Isla

You looked great Primary 5! Well done 🙂

P5 interview a Civil Engineer

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.

P5d Get Creative!

Design Technologies:

This afternoon, we have been very busy constructing models using a variety of recyclable materials. Yesterday, we spent some time researching and planning out what we wanted to construct. We considered the materials we could use, their properties, the time it would take and how we wanted it to turn out.

Today, we brought cardboard, paper and some boxes to school from home. All of these materials are recyclable and we enjoyed putting them together.

We had great fun! We created shields, swords, daggers and more. Have a look at what we made!

Well done P5d, you worked really hard on these. Fantastic results 🙂

Breaking News!

We have been really enjoying getting our hands on newspapers and reading about current events. First News and Newsround have been keeping us up to date with local and national news.

Christmas prep:

We designed and painted small Christmas tree pots. These look really fantastic displayed in the corridor in school.

Very creative P5 🙂 They look really cool, Well done.
