Firstly, a huge WELL DONE to everyone for learning their song/poem. It was a hard job choosing the winners but we are delighted to announce that Sophia-Rose, Morag and Elise are the winners for P5 this year.
As a reward for doing so well with the song/poems and learning five dances we had a class ceilidh today. Everyone really enjoyed themselves 🙂
In art, we worked together to create a collaborative portrait of Robert Burns. We used different tones by adding white and black to form the shape of his face. The finished piece will be going on a display board in the corridor.
In writing, we have been learning to write a discussion text. We needed to write both arguments for and against the topic. In the concluding statement we were able to give our opinion on the topic too.
In maths, we have been learning how to draw and interpret bar graphs. Next week we will move on to line graphs and pie charts.
For our topic this week we have been learning about the ferries that used to run from Newport to Dundee.
We are really enjoying our class novel, The Boy at the Back of the Class. We all take turns reading it out loud. This week we created a flow diagram on Word about their plan to visit the Queen.
As a whole school, we have been focusing on showing kindness. We each had a secret mission to be extra kind all day to one person in our class (we picked out lollypop sticks) in the hope that they would guess us at the end of the day. We enjoyed doing it so much that we asked if we could do it again!
Many pupils shared their presentations about someone famous that they admire. We learned lots of facts from each other.
