This week P5b had fun creating different structures, making origami creations and designing their own marble run.

Mrs.Jodah is very jealous as P5b have successfully grown a tomato plant with two tomatoes 🍅.

Last week we were busy working with Rookie Rockstars to learn our songs for our concerts this week.  We had lots of fun and are looking forward to performing them for everyone this week.  In the Creative enquiry room we were enjoying our new activities.  We were learning to code the micro bits , make a stop motion film, use our creativity with the building straws and work on our origami skills.

We also found time to go outside and plant sunflowers in pots so, hopefully it won’t take long for them to grow.

We were working on using the 4 operations in maths and have moved on to instructional writing.  Our first piece of writing was on how to make an ice cream sundae.

This week we started with a visit to the library.  It was great to have some time to chill and read then they got the opportunity to choose a book to bring back to read in class.

It was our last week completing our DYW tasks in the creative enquiry room so lots of finished work which we were able to share with our classmates.

Finally in PE this week we were focusing on our aiming and accuracy skills with various target games.  It also involved work together as a team and being able to stop and think about what worked well and problem solving game tactics.

This week P5a have completed work on volume . We have successfully planted sunflower seeds and seedlings are now appearing. By next Tuesday there should be about 24 sunflower 🌻 plants to be planted into large containers in the school. The children are enjoying learning as much as possible outside about plants and biodiversity.

It has been a great week in P5 with lots going on.  We have been taking good care of our tomato plant that Miss Davidson gave us as part of the Tomato Plant Challenge and it has now more than doubled in size.  We have named our plant Tilly and this week we decided to repot it to give it more room to grow.

On Monday we finished our block of music and filmed our rap song videos.  There was lots of enthusiasm and some great videos.

On Wednesday we again were in the creative enquiry room focussing on our DYW jobs and some more tasks were finished.

In maths our focus this week was on measuring volume and converting units of volume.

It was good to have our athletics lesson all about learning jumping techniques outside on Tuesday. We were able to be creative about the space we could use.

Everyone in P5 had a great day on Thursday at Blair Drummond Safari Park. The weather has been particularly kind to us this week. On Friday P5a continued to learn about growing plants and learning outdoors. We have now planted our sunflower seeds that Miss Davidson was able to source for us. Hopefully we will be able to study their growth in different conditions and see most of them develop into sunflowers 🌻 by August. I am looking forward to watch our seedlings grow.

Primary 5 had a great time on our school trip to Blair Drummond Safari Park today.  We all enjoyed watching the lions play and the very cute little baby monkey we saw as we drove through the enclosures.  We then watched the sealion show which was another highlight before walking round the park to visit some more of the animals.   Next we watched the Birds of Prey display where we learned some very interesting facts on owls. It was then lunch, the park and some more animals before heading back for the bus.  Lots of walking but lots of fun was had by all.
