Primary 5 have thoroughly enjoyed the visits so far. The highlight today was meeting the nurses. 
Clyde In The Classroom
Here are some pictures taken at the start of our ‘Clyde In The Classroom’ topic. We have all learned so much about the life cycle of the brown trout and we look forward to releasing the fish tomorrow at the local river.
World of Work
As part of World of Work we have been looking at skills and strength.
Being Active
We have been learning what it means to be active and how it effects our bodies and minds. We started our lesson today by participating in some exercise routines before moving onto discussing and writing about being active.
Science and Eco
Our topic this term is electricity. So far we have learnt that there are multiple kinds of electricity. There is mains electricity,static electricity and battery electricity. Mains electricity is the one we use at home.we have learnt that mains electricity comes from power stations.We have also learnt that lighting is a kind of static electricity.we are all enjoying our topic.
For committees we have been working with primary 7. So far we have been learning that it is good to save water and power.We also learned about how hard life is in different countries. It was sad to learn that only 15% of the world’s population have taps inside their homes. To imagine how hard it is for people who have to travel to get their water, we did a role-play task. We went around the playground holding a big jug or a plastic box filed with water. Every one realised that it was very hard.

Maths Week Scotland
This week we have been focusing on learning about time. The whole school was focusing on this concept. We made a mind map of everything we knew about time. We investigated different units, devices and displays in real life. We then focused on developing our calendar reading skills then moved onto learning about the value of planning and time management. We enjoyed using our imaginations to make up a calendar of events for a celebrity of our choice. Taking part in the Sum Dog challenge was great! Another highlight of the week was the Hopscotch Theatre company performance all to do with numeracy.
