P5 had a great day at the science centre! We started off with a show in the planetarium which was brilliant, then spent our time exploring all the exciting things in the science mall,  ending with taking a short walk along the river to see the old boats before heading back to school. What great day out!

We have had a busy couple of weeks to start off the new term. In maths we have begun a unit on fractions , whilst in literacy we have been working hard on our reading skills through our new books. We have also been learning all about Scotland, and were able to use this knowledge in our discussion writing to present a balanced argument of all the good and bad things about Scotland to help people from other counties decide whether to visit.
Creative enquiry this block is exploring sound and light and we had our first session trying out some of the stations.  We have been busy choosing songs and a dance for our showcase next month and have had fun creating some lovely artwork too.

What a busy final week of term we have had in p5! We have been consolidating our learning in maths through games.

We had lots of fun at our Christmas party, and we have been very busy preparing for our p5 enterprise, where groups have run a small business, making products to sell. We held our enterprise on Thursday afternoon, just between the 2 p5 classes and it was a huge success, where children have raised approximately £160! We would like to thank you all for your support in making this venture such a success!
The children all had lots of fun working on their team enterprise and showed fantastic teamwork and communication. Well done p5!

Merry Christmas and Happy holidays!
P5a and Mrs Mair
