This has been a very productive week in P5a. The visit to the Science Centre was certainly a highlight for us all. Your child had fun and learned in an active environment. We will now build on the experiences and knowledge that we gained from the visit. Our Space topic can now develop to discover more about our Solar System.
As we are learning about angles and compass points we ventured outside for the Maths lessons! It was cold but much more fun than sitting inside for this particular topic.

P5a have settled back into the routines of school. We are learning to write a brochure to persuade  people to take a holiday in Scotland as part of our literacy and topic work this term. So far P5 have each made a plan.                                                                    In number we are rounding numbers to 10,100 or 10000. This week P5 an are starting to learn more about time durations. In the next few days we will venture outside to measure angles! Let’s hope the weather improves.                                                Generally the children have enjoyed finding out about our first IDL topic , Scotland. We will continue to explore this topic and learn more about our Scottish culture.

I would like to take this opportunity to say how proud I am of everyone in the class for their efforts and hard work this term. In language we have written reports linked to Natural Disasters Then they used the facts as a basis for their personal presentations. Everyone took part and rose to the challenge.

This term the class tackled fractions and money, trying to manage a budget, not easy concepts.
Thank you for the Christmas gifts , I am very grateful.

After this welcome break I will be excited to start teaching your child again in the third term. They are a group of children who like to learn.

Have a wonderful two weeks.

Mrs. Jodah

P5a have been very busy. In language we are focusing on report writing. Your child is making a comprehensive report about our topic Natural Disasters. They can then use this as part of their presentation in the next couple of weeks. We have successfully covered fractions, decimals in number and are ready to tackle money before the end of term. Everyone has worked hard to learn and improve their own strategies to complete any task.

We are delighted that girls from P5 were among the Dancers who won their heat at Springburn Academy. On Friday afternoon the class were able to display some of the activities we have been completing weekly as part of our STEM topics. Unfortunately I forgot to take any photographs!
This class love an opportunity to learn!

This week P5a have worked very hard advancing their understanding of division in number and characterisation in language. Next week I will introduce fractions and help the children to find more information when a reading non- fiction text. P.E on a Thursday will now involve mastering skills in netball.

This term P5a have come back to school ready to take on some new challenges. We have continued with coaching in Dance in P.E. This term we have started to extend and develop number skills in multiplication and division.
In science we are investigating friction.

. Designing an experiment using a car on different surfaces and discussing the results.
