Mondays in Room 5 are not BORING!
Today in Room 5 we have been so busy learning new things. Here are our learning statements:
Sam: We were learning about chocolate.
Fraser: We were learning about 5 a Day and how important it is.
Lewis: We cut up banana and strawberry and dipped it into melted chocolate.
Lewis: If you leave melted chocolate *(liquid) out then it will turn back into solid.
Alex M: We were learning to eat healthy.
Calvin: We learned a new sound, ‘kn’ and we found out that the sound comes at the start of the word and the k is silent.
Hollie: We made some fruit treats, with a melted chocolate drizzle.
Xayah: We were learning about 3D shapes.
Alice: When you draw a 3D shape it looks like it is popping out of the page.
Ollie: We were learning about melted chocolate, we put solid chocolate in the microwave and the heat melted the chocolate.
Beth: We melted chocolate and we used fruit and poured the chocolate on the fruit.
Thanks so much,

Fun Run :)
We had an amazing time today at the ‘Fun Run’. We were very happy to see that the sun was shining for us. Before we started our running, we did a little warm up in the class to get our bodies moving.
AN – We were running because it was the Fun Run.
LM – We all got a drink and a snack because we were all tired.
NN – When we got to the pitches, a man gave us medals.
DP – We were running 500m round the school and not a lot of people were walking. Quite a lot of people were jogging.
AH – When we were waiting for a turn at the Fun Run, we were cheering at some people.
TD – Our families came to watch.
SC – I jogged with my teacher. We got water and popcorn at the finish line.
MM – Our families watched us the whole way round the pitches.
It was such a fun morning and we were delighted with our medals. The children put them in their school bags to keep them safe. Thank you for sponsoring us and coming along today to cheer us on. It really helped push us on to the finish line. We did it! 🙂
On Wednesday 20th May we will be hosting our Sports Day. We look forward to seeing you there. Pupils can come to school in their PE kits. Thank you for your cooperation with this.

Room 3
A very busy and exciting week in Room 3!
This week in Maths, we have started an exciting new topic all about money. The children have been learning to identify different coins using size and colour and exploring the different ways we can pay for items, including cash and cards.
In Literacy, we have been consolidating the sounds ‘ch’ and ‘ng’. The children have been practising reading and writing words containing these sounds through games, phonics activities and dictated sentences. It has been wonderful to see their confidence continuing to grow.
We also had our very exciting Fun Run today! The children had lots of fun taking part and showed fantastic enthusiasm and energy throughout the event. It was lovely to see everyone joining in with big smiles on their faces! The pupils were very excited to receive a medal at the end of the race too.
I hope you have a lovely weekend.

Team Room 7
We have had a brilliant time this week, ending with the brilliant fun run. We spent this morning making motivational posters and loved cheering on other children completing the run. Thank you to everyone who was able to come and support us today.
Our persuasive letters were really successful this week and we managed to persuade all of the leadership team to give us a proud cloud. We are really proud of our powers of persuasion!

Room 11 Mega Update
Apologies for missing a couple of weeks on the Blog, we have so busy in Room 11 with lots of new learning.
We were joined a couple of weeks ago by some little caterpillars who we watched grow rapidly and transform into chrysalis. We are now on the watch for them to emerge into butterflies and have left some oranges in their net this weekend just incase! The children have loved checking on their progress every morning.
We are focusing on persuasive writing this term and have decided to focus on different forms of media that we are exposed to all the time. This week we discussed adverts, slogans and even jingles as well as the emotional language that companies use to persuade us. We made posters to advertise our favourite places and next week we are going to start using the chrome books to create some of our own digital media.
Lastly, a big thanks to all the parents who supported our fun run today, through donations and/or spectating.
The kids all had the best morning and we have managed to raise a fantastic amount of money that will go a long way to replenishing our PE cupboard.

Room 6 Superstars Take on the Fun Run
There was magic in the air—and a fair bit of dust on the trainers—this morning as our Primary 2 classes took to the field for our School Fun Run.
The weather played along beautifully, providing just enough sunshine to keep spirits high and a cool breeze to keep our runners from overheating. It was a day filled with determination, cheers, and more than a few “sonic speed” sprints!
A Crowd to Cheer Them On
We were absolutely delighted to see such a fantastic turnout from our parents and carers. Seeing you all lined up along the fence with your loud cheers really gave the class that extra boost of energy.
The atmosphere was electric as the P2s lined up at the starting line. There were some nervous giggles, a few competitive stretches, and a whole lot of excitement. From the moment the horn blew, the children gave it their absolute all, navigating the course around the school grounds with massive smiles on their faces.
The Hero’s Welcome
Crossing the finish line is a big deal when you’re six or seven years old, and we made sure our runners feel like champions. Every single participant was greeted with:
-
Shiny Participation Medals: To commemorate their hard work and school spirit.
-
Healthy Snacks & Water: To refuel those tired muscles.
-
High-Fives Galore: From staff and cheering classmates.
A Huge Thank You
A massive well done to all of our class for showing such resilience and sportsmanship. Whether they sprinted the whole way or enjoyed a steady jog with their friends, they represented the school perfectly.
We also want to extend a huge thank you to Mrs Sheed and the other staff members who helped coordinate the event and hand out the well-deserved treats at the end.
