We are having fun with Mrs O’Hanlon because our main teacher Miss Docherty has been away to Kilbowie for a week. So we have had our other teacher all week Mrs O’Hanlon. We have done lots of work and we have learned lots about the topic international childrens games. We also have been doing a topic called Proud to be me and it is about how people make babies and make love.Mrs Docherty is coming back today and we also miss her lots.

The P7’s had a fantastic night at the disco. Lots of dancing took place and new friendships were made!!!
Here’s a selection of pictures from their night.
My Kilbowie adventure continues today with a rock climb. I was with group 9 and they were fantastic. They really pushed themselves and were able to achieve something they didn’t think they could.
After the rock climb there was some time left to explore on the beach. One of the children found a clam and lots of interesting looking shells and pebbles. The tide was out so the children had to run quite far before they reached the edge of the water.
Hi children at home who are logged on to Glow, please take some time to research your new topic, I will be asking you on Monday about any new facts that you have learned. Also continue to practice your tables, we will have a tables quiz on Monday. Have a nice weekend.
Mrs O’Hanlon.
Primary 5 have been working really hard this week and I think they’ve missed you. We’ve done lots of writing and our little fingers are sore but we’ve learned a lot. The class are very enthusiastic about their new topic and this is very encouraging, they are carrying out their own research at home too. Many children have created their own version of the I.C.G. logo/motif, fantastic creations. At the swimming all children were dried and ready for the vending machine in under a minute, thought this was funny. All children got a treat, they told me, it’s normally the first 5 ready, but they were like lightning after I told them they could all get one. See you when you return to Chapelside.
Hi Primary 5 and Mrs O’Hanlon
I had another busy day today as I am sure you did too.
Today was an extremely windy day and our scheduled canoeing could not go ahead. 🙁 We are hoping that the weather picks up and we will be able to go canoeing in the morning (fingers crossed)
Firstly I was working with groups 3 and 5. Our instructors were Di and Ellid and we were being prepared for a morning of orienteering. We had a go at locating different things on the map by using the key at the side to identify different features.
We had to locate a number of sign posts which had stampers attached and use them to stamp a sheet with thirty different check points. It was fantastic but it can be quite tricky to follow the map. The trick was to ensure the map was positioned correctly by using the sea as a reference point.
It took some people longer than others to complete but everyone was really proud of themselves when they managed to finish.
After the orienteering, we had the chance to use the adventure ropes again.
After the rope adventure we were given the option of climbing a huge tree. Some of the children decided they did not want to do this and this is ok as no one is forced to do something they do not want to do.
I decided to have a go!!!
I was so proud that I made it all the way to the top and got to ring the bell. Melanie took a video of me climbing the tree and I will post it soon for you to see.
Miss you all lots:-(
CAN’T WAIT TO SEE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here’s the video Mel took!
Miss Docherty Tackles the BIG TREE
Hi Primary 5
thanks to Kim and Nathan for writing such an excellent post about what you have been learning in class.
It sounds like you have been very busy and carrying out some really tricky work in your maths.
I am glad that you have started learning about the ICG. It is not long until the games begin across North and South Lanarkshire. I am super impressed with the amount of facts you have learned already and I am sure that lots of people are beginning to carry out some independent research of their own too!!!
I am missing you all lots and can’t wait to see you next week.
I will post again soon about my Kilbowie Adventures.
Miss Docherty
Dear Miss Docherty
We have been learning about our new topic called International Childrens Games (I.C.G).Also we have been learning about parallel lines and perpendicular lines in maths. On Tuesday Mrs O’Hanlon told us to write what we think we know about I.C.G. Then we all went down to the carpet to find out the real facts about I.C.G. When we went down to the carpet we learned that a P.E teacher in Slovenia Metod Klemec was the very first person to think of the I.C.G. He was the brains behind it. He organised the very first I.C.G. in 1968 made up of teams from 9 European cities. We also learned that this year there was a joint bid between North Lanarkshire and South Lanarkshire and some of us know where the venues are for the activites. We learned the parrell and perpendicular on Monday and Tuesday it’s very hard sometimes.
Kim and Nathan
cant wait till you come back
Well Primary 5
My Kilbowie adventures are continuing and today I have been on a gorge walk, a rope adventure and skiing. Before I came to Kilbowie I was most looking forwards to doing the Skiing.
I have to tell you primary 5, Miss Docherty is NOT a natural on the ski slopes, but I gave it my best and had so much fun doing it. I was a bit of a danger to others on the slopes because I couldn’t do any turns and I couldn’t stop.!!!!
After knocking a few children over I decided that I was a bit dangerous on skis. Lots of people were relieved when I took my skis off!!
The Rope adventure was great fun. Here’s a few pictures!!
I will blog again soon P5. Missing you lots and lots. Thanks for your comments and posts so far!!!!!
