This week we’ve been learning about co-ordinates in 4 quadrants, and using this information to create pictures of beloved Disney characters. As well as this we developed our understanding of probability.
To continue in our artistic vein, we created abstract self portraits using our learning about line, colour and shade.
As part of our P.A.T.H.S course we’ve been finding “win win” solutions to conflict resolution scenarios.
This week P5b have been continuing their writing, learning skills to write a report about Natural Disasters. They have used the information they previously collected using note taking skills. There has been a good effort to produce an interesting report by everyone.
In Mathematics P5b are now completing money and have moved from angles to learn about coordinates. This should lead us to map reading and sometime outside focusing on orienteering. Fingers crossed the weather is kind to us!
This is the last week of the Forces topic. The children have enjoyed the theme to then go off and plan their own learning on a Thursday afternoon.

Last week we were lucky to get a visit from the Zoolab and met 6 different animals. We learned lots of interesting facts and got to hold or touch some of the animals.
In writing we have continued on with our recount writing which is going well. We have also been working on verb and verb tenses to help with our writing.
In maths we have been comparing angles as well as learning and using compass points.
Lastly we finished our Scottish topic by listening to traditional and modern Scottish music and talked about what we did and didn’t like about it, used the iPads to research Scottish Landmarks and created a timeline of some Scottish inventions. We are now about to begin our new topic which is ‘The Vikings
This week we’ve been absolutely nailing procedural writing, creating detailed sets of instructions for games and recipes.
Our golf game continues to improve, and we’re now capable of playing short rounds over longer distances.
In numeracy we’ve been using protractors to accurately measure angles, and draw triangles from given specifications.
First at stem I really enjoyed doing the balloon car and air force. Also it was fun to do the video of the character movie .It was fun and the characters were quite good and funny. Then most of the people in our class did the electricity experiment.They had to make a circuit it was quite cool. Secondly we got to make our own design with paper and we got to put magnets on the paper and it is so cool when it is done. We also got to do gym and it was fun because of the coach leaders, they played football games and Ollie Ollie octopus as well. Also all of p5 are doing a showcase it is going well so far the dancing and the singing is amazing. The parents are coming to see us perform on the 21st of February 2025 .We all are very excited to perform on stage.
Meanwhile there is also Sikh drumming it sounds very good when you clap with it goes very well with our showcase.

This week we’ve been taking a lot of learning outdoors: working on our golf game at the pitch, and calculating speed, distance and time in the playground.
We successfully used S = D/T to calculate our speeds over a series of distances. We also applied this knowledge to a range of activities in the classroom.
We did Maths, Writing and Reading Assessments for the Scottish Government. These were not hard but not easy either. Poppy
We did times tables activity cards and one was a Loop Card game. I enjoyed this because you had to listen carefully then could shout out your answer. Jessica
In our maths stations we all got the chance to do the activity we wanted to. Poppy
In the playroom we made snakes by looping paper. Kendall
This was for Chinese New Year and because 2025 is the year of the snake. Samuel
In spelling we checked we could spell work by matching cards. Elena-Rose
We learner to play the Scottish song ‘Auld Lang Syne’ on the glockenspiel. Maisie
It was fun! Jason
I made a bridge out of Lego then put cars on it to see if they could driver over it. Ryan
We’ve had a busy first week of Term 3. In maths, we’ve continued practising our times tables and have learned how to multiply two-digit numbers using the grid method. In literacy, we wrote detailed setting descriptions, using our senses to describe. We’ve also been exploring different ways to begin our sentences and learning how to use a variety of connectives to extend our writing. We thought about our own goals for this year and made 2025 self-portraits.
This term we have embarked on a mini topic about Scotland 🏴. P5 are learning about fractions in mathematics and creating a balanced argument in writing. Our reading is progressing well. I am very pleased with the learning so far.
