Internet Safety Day in P5d

P5d have been very busy this afternoon leading their own learning.  We spent some time working in pairs, in Google Classroom, thinking of some topics to learn about.  As today is internet safety, we thought about how we spent our time online.

This afternoon we: 

  • discussed how we use the internet / technology in our everyday lives
  • demonstrated, using Chromebooks, how we are responsible internet users
  • showed how we can use search engines effectively
  • used a search engine to find facts on our chosen topics
  • used Google Classroom to work independently and collaboratively as a class
  • used Google Classroom to share ideas and opinions
  • discussed the dangers of the internet and came up with ideas of how we could stay safe!

Well done P5d! Keep up the good work online 🙂

 

P5a have been getting creative!

Knex Christmas Challenge

Today we worked in groups to create a Christmas themed model from Knex.  We discussed in our teams what parts of each model we would make and then put them together! Have a look below:

Eilish created Santa’s sleigh!

Niamh, Andrew, Rachel and Joshua created Santa’s boot getting stuck down a chimney!

Emma and Cameron created a Christmas tree!

Well done Primary 5A!

Clay Ornaments 

We created our own clay ornaments shaped into different Christmas shapes. We created Christmas trees, snowmen, stockings and candy canes. We then pained and decorated them.

A friendly reminder that tomorrow is Christmas party day so remember to wear your party clothes! Christmas Jumper day will be on Friday! Merry Christmas to everyone!!

Another busy week in P5d

Primary 5d have been very busy active this week.

STEM: 

This week, they planned, designed and constructed a model using KNEX.  There were some wonderfully inventive and ambitious structures.  Well done P5!

         

PE: 

P5d have been enjoying having the sports leaders from St.Ninians down working with them.  This week they were working on fitness and basketball.

Outdoor Learning: 

P5 have been learning all about China.  They were particularly interested in the Great Wall of China, which they researched and found out facts about.

Today, they used sticks, blocks, wood, stones and chalk to recreate their own Great Walls.

They had great fun in the sun 🙂 Well done P5d!

Another busy and productive week in P5d.

Have a lovely October break everyone!

Primary 5a

Today we participated in Reciprocal Reading. Each pupil took on one of five roles and within their group took turns to carry out their role. We showed our understanding of the text being read by asking a range of questions and using context clues to read unfamiliar words! We applied our knowledge of reading strategies to summarise, predict, question and clarify meanings! Pupils enjoyed leading their own learning!

Reciprocal Reading

Art & Technology 

We have been creating a collaborative Chinese dragon using our art and technology skills. Today we began the process of painting the body of the dragon before it is put together in a 3D model! Well Done P5!

Check out what Primary 5a have been doing this week!

It is the end of another busy week in Primary 5a! We have enjoyed our second week of swimming lessons and have been enjoying a range of activities as part of Maths week!

Visitor

We were very lucky to have a special visitor today- local business owner Mrs Capaldi. She spoke to us about how important Maths is within everyday life, particularly when running a successful business.

Outdoor Learning

We have been learning in Numeracy about symmetry of shapes and coordinates. We created our own coordinate grids using bark and sticks.

Cillian said “We looked for different materials and we saw different types of plants. We used them to make the grid.”

Literacy

We have been focusing on developing characters to make our writing more interesting. We have been considering how we can make characters come to life. We had different stations. Some of us highlighted descriptive language by authors, some of us watched a video clip and took notes on the authors description while some of us created a life size character!

Christopher said: “We drew round Gavin and then created a huge character which we named and gave a personality to.”

 

Social Studies & Literacy 

We have been working in partners to research different aspects of Chinese culture as part of our topic. We have been note-taking and are in the process of creating a leaflet.

Eilish said: “We made a leaflet by first researching on the chromebooks information about China and then wrote down important information to include in our leaflet”.

VR Headsets

We loved trying out the VR headsets this afternoon!

Special Achievements 

Well Done to Orla for winning a trophy in Irish dancing! What an achievement!

Cameron visited the Emirates arena to watch professional tennis players training for their games this weekend. Cameron managed to get Jamie Murray to sign his top! Well Done Cameron.

 

P4 Master Classes

Primary 4 are spending the last few weeks of term rotating around different master class activities. Week 1 for Primary 4c was a chance to explore rivers and lakes from around the world using the virtual reality headsets. They discussed what they could see with their peers and compared the similarities and differences between the rivers from different countries. Inspired by what they saw they then used their artistic skills to create their own river line drawings! Check back next week to see what master class primary 4c will attend next!
