Although this was the last week of the term P5b have been very busy. We all enjoyed learning outdoors weeding the plant pots , clearing the beds , adding to compost bin and adding more wood and moss to our bug hotel. Furthermore, the children pulled the choking grass away from our young fruit trees. Our photographs show how much everyone enjoyed the experience!

Our theme is Changes when we learn through activities in our Creative Enquiry Room. Some changed a well known story. Others changed bottles into submarines! Plans were made to change things around the school and lastly a few designed new outfits, including a new P.E. Kit. On Thursday afternoon P5 celebrated the end of our Roman topic, sampling some food , eating sitting on the floor as the Romans did. Your children have made a good start to their 1st term in P5

Primary 5B have been learning to use different strategies to add increasingly larger numbers. They worked with a partner and individually completed some jotter work to learn.

P5b used many skills to create something that could make a journey. On Thursday it was terrific to enjoy a PE lesson outdoors.

P5b enjoyed using their problem solving skills to create different designs that could be a form of transport. Our STEM topic is journeys. Some children started to make a marble run and we hope to complete their creations next week.

These children are learning about large numbers while playing a game.

This week the pupils  in P5b produced some interesting recount writing involving the Iron Age. They pretended that they had lived in Scotland during this period. This has helped P5b imagine life in Pre-historic Scotland , just before the Roman invasion.

It was great to see so many adults at our open afternoon on Thursday. We have enjoyed embedding our PATHS programme in school.

This week P5b have been learning about Iron Age Scotland. Everyone has created their own character, roundhouse and described the daily life of a family in prehistoric Scotland. P5b have achieved a great deal in a short time.

They have continued to learn about Place Value and revise their addition skills. We have started the novel The Titanic Detective Agency and written a factual account of life in Iron Age Scotland paying attention to punctuation and extending each sentence.

keep up the good work P5b

This term we have started to learn about Iron Age Scotland at the time of the Roman invasion. The children have designed their own roundhouse and worked together to make a hill fort in groups. It was good to see them working the layout of their fort as a group.
