Role Play: DramaĀ 

We have been considering the importance of being kind and respectful towards others. We worked in groups and acted out different scenarios and chose the correct thing to do when someone is being treated badly. Have a look below:

Special Achievement:Ā 

Ruari won two medals for her Christmas Gymnastics competition! Well done Ruari!

STEM:Ā 

We have been learning to classify different animals into the five main vertebrate groups. We played games to help us learn about different animals before researching how to classify them!

Engineering Workshop:Ā 

We were lucky enough to have a special visitor who explained to us the job of a civil engineer. We then got to try different experiments involving flooding and measure how much water there was.

Spelling Stations:

We have been trying some different strategies to help us learn our spelling words. Have a look below. We enjoyed playing spelling games on Education City, multi-sensory spelling and word-search spelling! We loved it.

Primary 5A

We have had such a busy week back after the October holiday!

STEM

This week in Science, we were learning about chemical changes through a Halloween themed lesson using pumpkins. We started by writing a hypothesis and predicting what we thought would happen when we mixed different substances together and then poured them into our pumpkins.

Some of us thought that the pumpkin would explode and some of us thought it might even change colour!

We found that when the reactants were mixed together, it created a chemical reaction causing the mixture to bubble up and overflow from the pumpkin! We had so much fun!

Outdoor Learning

We were creating beautiful artwork using natural materials in outdoor learning! Have a look below:

PE

We started basketball in PE today and loved practising their skills in the Mugga! We had a go at shooting as well.

 

Welcome back Primary 5A!

Primary 5A have all settled well into the year and are enjoying the new routines of P5. Have a look what we have been up to this week:

STEMĀ 

We have been learning about materials and the way that they can change into different substances. This week we had 5 different stations that we visited to learn more about changing substances: melting chocolate, melting and freezing ice cubes, dissolving salt in water, a video station and a worksheet station!

Alice said: “I liked the chocolate station because we got to heat the chocolate and see it melting.”Ā 

Marcus said: “I also liked the chocolate melting station because it was like cooking. I liked seeing solids becoming liquids!”Ā 

Kamran said: “I liked watching the TigTags videos which were about dissolving and making substances change.”

Rachel said: “I liked the salt experiment because you got to see the salt dissolving in the water, it was quicker with warm water. The worksheet station was good because you had to discuss in your group what you thought made the substance change.”Ā 

Have a look at some of the pictures below:

 

Writing

This week we have been learning to write a personal recount. We wrote about our favourite days and focused on using excellent sentence openers, wow words and including detail in our writing.

Technologies

We have been enjoying using a range of technology since we came back to school! We have been learning how to use Google Classroom and having fun editing documents together and answering questions. We also have been incorporating Education City into each of our Numeracy lessons to reinforce the concept we are learning in a fun and interactive way.

Social StudiesĀ 

Our new topic is China! We are excited to learn all about the culture, schooling system and geography. We have decided as a class what we want to learn and so far have drawn the panda (as it is Native to China) in Expressive Arts and began researching China through Technologies.

Friendly Reminder

A friendly reminder that swimming begins next Tuesday morning!
