Dear Parents, Guardians and Friends

My name is Erin and I am a pupil from primary 5. Recently my class performed an assembly and I thought it would be great to update you on this through our class blog.

Last year we didn`t have an assembly but Mrs Burk decided to bring them back as it is a great way to show and tell parents what  we have learned in our class. This assembly took place on the 8^th of November, the topic we did our assembly on was Germany .We were lucky that so many people turned up to watch it.

This year teachers and their pupils decided on the format. Some had learning stations where pupils shared information on a variety of topics.  In primary 5 we chose to focus one topic and presented this as a mini performance.

Our assembly was a blast, we had a drama sketch to keep our audience interested and lots of facts so the audience could learn something too .We had 2 songs , one to wake us up and the other one linked with the drama sketch.

After our assembly we got a drink and a biscuit .Then we got to talk to our parents about the assembly and discuss our learning further.

Thank you for reading this blog and there is a feedback sheet to let us know what you thought of our assembly.

Following our knowledge of th numbers in German, we learned how to tell the time. We worked at stations – dominos, what’s next?, iPads & smartboards and plotting the graph. 

on our first week back at school we started a new topic in maths. The  new topic is division we are all very good at division. Some  people are better at division than others but we are all good at division and we are learning new ways to write sums in division.We all like division so far and we all hope it will stay that way.We have also been given division sheets for homework and in class.                                                                                                                                                                                                                   On our first week back we started getting parts in our assembly

Last week was maths week and p5 had fun drawing parabolic designs and M.C. Escher designs. We have been practicing the multiples of the 2,4 and 8 times tables. P5 have worked hard on subtracting 3 digit and 4 digit numbers. We made card covers using patterns. We have also created Rangoli patterns using colour number rules. A lot of p5 have been using sum dog or study ladder. Also we have been learning about number sequences and creating our own.  Here are some pictures of us working.

In P.E we have been learning basketball with our coach Adam. We have also been learning how to dribble the ball and we have been using different strategies to get a better aim at shooting.                                                                                                                                                                    We have also been doing maths and division. In the morning we always do gimme 5 which is when someone makes 5 sums and you have to try get them right. Then after we are finished, we mark them together as an class.

We are also learning German with Miss White.Last week we were learning about German clothes and we drew ourselves with German clothes on then we listened to a German song :D.

p5 were also learning about the Berlin wall. Did you know that Berlin is the capital city of  Germany? Last week we were playing this German game called Kahoot it was a quiz about Country’s map.                                                                                                                                                            We each got an Ipad and played it. After words we got an piece of paper which asked us where the capital of Germany or the capital of Scotland was,  it asked us the populations too.                                                                                                                                                                                            We made group names up and they are: mlg cookies, Pizza Steves The food party, and the dabbing Devils. They are all really cool names.I made up mlg  cookies.                                                                                                                                                                                                                            We were doing Vincent Van Gogh paintings and we recreated ‘sunflowers.’They are really pretty, some are over in the main building and some are in our classroom. We used water colors.

We are reading a book called Iron Man. We learned that he was eating all the metal and iron and they buried the iron man.  The little boy was feeling  sad about the Iron Man but the other farmers weren’t feeling sad, they felt happy.

We have also been doing maths. We have been revising  addition, times tables and take away.

In  P.E we did races, games and Jump Start Johnny .Next week we are doing basketball.

We have been learning German with Mrs white. We learned how to speak in  German,  it was really fun.  We played a game called German boggle, it’s where you have to say a German word and if you get the wrong answer you’re out.

Our topic this term is Germany.

During health week we made some delicious healthy snacks.  They were really easy and really tasty….especially on a hot day.

We chose a yoghurt and put it into our cupcake holder.  Next we cut up our chosen fruit and added it to the top.  We put these in the freezer for a few hours and ate them in the afternoon.  They were yummy!

To kick off health week we did Beat the Street.

Beat the street is a healthy activity . You have a fob. The fob has points on it that you save up to get more points .

There are boxes of beat the street all over north Lanarkshire and if you put your fob against the box you will get more and more points and it bleeps and flashes.

Beat the street gets you going and active.👍 It also gets you points for your school!

It’s fun and you are more active.You get a chance to go out for a walk -you can cycle , run , walk , scooter , roller skate to each box . The places you get the boxes in the tap your fob against is Chryston , Stepps ,St Barbara,s and some other places .

There are only two in Chryston but it’s still fun to walk round and use your fob.

Yesterday we went as a class and got two of the boxes. If we walk from here to St Barbara’s we get two boxes.

 

The SSPCA came to talk with us about how we can help animals stay alive and protect them in their environment.

Don’t drop litter
don’t put milk out it is the worst thing for animals
make a den for the animals that don’t have a home to live in
Don’t give ducks bread well you can but it does not have enough good stuff in it try give them frozen pees 🐥
Don’t touch wild animals especially babies
If you see a hurt animal, call the SSPCA

We played a version of trivial pursuit that helped us learn more about animals and their environment.

Dawn from the SSPCA was really interesting!
