Happy last week of term 3! We have had an exciting week filled with fun and adventure!

We created our own advertisements and recorded them with their own jingle and videos.

Back in November our class won the Turner Prize Modern Art Competition. This week we finally got to redeem our winnings with a trip to the Hollywood Bowl! We each played bowling, had fun on the arcade games and were treated to a delicious lunch before coming back to school for a cosy movie afternoon!

“Kasim beat the whole class at bowling!”- Muhammad

“It was great fun!”- Neha

“The chicken nuggets were delicious”- Amaya

“My favourite part was playing in the arcade”- Mansoor

“We got to spend time with our special guest- Miss Rooney!”- Tahira

“I loved playing the piano video game with Tahira”- Umarah

“It was a special day”- Mohammed

“I enjoyed playing pool with Zayd and Najib-Ullah”- Rayan

“It was a fun and nice day”- Rabab

Finally, we celebrated Easter this week by designing our own “hipster bunnies” using different patterns in black and white.

Don’t they look cool?

We had an excellent term full of laughs, learning and fun. We are excited about the holiday and can’t wait for term 4!

Now we’re off to hunt for Easter eggs!

Happy Easter!

Hello everyone!

We have had another crazy week in Primary 4/5.

We have been learning all about advertising with Mr McCormick and this week we studied adverts on tv and in magazines. We had to decide if certain adverts had catchy slogans or phrases, bright colours or language that would attract attention such as a joke!

In literacy we looked at the book “Into the Forest” by Anthony Browne and used drama to predict what we thought would happen next in the story.

We created still pictures to show both characters and objects. Doesn’t Laiyba make a great tree?!

We have also been looking at different adjectives as a way to improve our writing. We were set the challenge to think of as many different adjectives as possible. We did this competitively as P4 were up against P5. As a whole class we thought of 437 different adjectives (isn’t that amazing/ spectacular/ exciting/ wonderful/ awesome/ cool/ incredible!) But in the end P5 were triumphant!

Finally, we want to tell you about Rayan’s incredible award. He and Miss Webster and Miss O’Hagan  went to an award ceremony on Saturday morning where Rayan read a poem he wrote in Arabic in front of hundreds of people! Rayan’s poem is featured in the Mother Tongue, Other Tongue Anthology of 2018. He is a published writer! Well done Rayan!

Our certificate winner this week was Simmal who created some excellent sound shakers for Science week!

Happy Friday!

We have had a busy and exciting start to Spring this week in Primary 4/5!

As we were snowed in last week we celebrated World Book Day this week instead. We have been studying the work of Anthony Browne and did some drama based on his book “The Tunnel”.

First we split into groups and were  asked to describe the two main characters: the brother and the sister.

     

We decided that the brother was mean, nasty and rude and the sister was quiet, unhappy and shy.

We then split into twos and one person played the role of the brother and the other was the sister. We had lots of fun shouting at each other in character.

After that we went back into our groups and created still pictures of what we thought would be beyond the tunnel that the characters crawl through. Some of us thought there was a spooky forest and other thought there was a cave. Sorrelle’s group even thought there would be a luxury cinema!

Thankfully we read to the end of the story and discovered that the scary forest was not real!

In literacy we have started two new topics: Advertising with Mr McCormick and Descriptive Writing with Mrs Kerabi.

Mr McCormick had us try to sell his bunnet as a multi-purpose bargain! Hamza decided it was a mobile phone, Rayan thought it made a great toothbrush and Najib-Ullah was willing to throw in a free sponge with every purchase!

During our descriptive writing lesson we learned about similes and metaphors. We used these techniques to create stories about a winter scene.

In maths we are continuing to learn about time. We played some different games to help us to remember where the hands go on face clocks at different times of the day.

The triangle group successfully matched their time dominoes with digital and face clocks. Well done Triangles!

This week for our Migration topic we have been studying the country Syria. Hamza and Rayan both migrated from Syria to Scotland with their families. We looked at the artwork of Syrian artist Khaled Takreti. He believed he should use his art to express how important it is that Syrian people are listened to. He does this by collaging together images of technology that makes sounds. We created our own versions of these!

Finally, we were able to visit the Tramway this Friday to see our art exhibition which we worked hard to create last month.

Our certificate winner this week was Najib-Ullah. He delivered an amazing presentation about the life of bees and how to make fair trade honey. Well done Najib-Ullah!

We also had a special birthday this week, Zahra turned 10! We had a class party with cupcakes that Zahra brought in! Happy Birthday Zahra!

Hello everyone!

What a week! We had a very busy 2 days and then the snow came falling! The Beast From The East meant that we all had 3 days stuck at home.  Thankfully we were set lots of challenges on Twitter to keep us busy and we all had fun building snowmen, sledging, having snowball fights and keeping cosy!

Last Monday, when it was bright and sunny, our class finished our Athletics programme in P.E with the students from Glasgow Clyde College.

 We played our favourite athletic games against each other using all kinds of sports equipment.

We were awarded with a certificate at the end!

 

In Maths we are continuing to learn about Time.

Miss Webster challenged us to make a weekly timetable to represent our school day.

 Some of us think that school should end at Lunchtime and others think that we should have art and extra playtimes every day!

We are going to continue our study of Anthony Browne books for World Book Day this week so look out for a post on that coming soon!
