For the last few weeks of term, P5 will be participating in literacy tasks all about ‘Mr Stink’ by David Walliams. The children were asked to choose a popular children’s novel and the majority of the class chose this one. We are looking forward to watching the film and being involved in lots of different literacy and art tasks.

We have been working really hard during Choir to learn songs to perform at the end of term. Have a listen to a sneak peek of one of our favourites!

Talking and Listening in Primary 5!

Today in Primary 5 we were learning how to write a fairy tale. The class were given a picture as a stimulus and the children worked with a partner to create a short story about the character in the picture. The children were able to successfully discuss and tell their story to the class. The class were a wonderful audience and we enjoyed making up our own stories. Our next step is to choose a fairytale and rewrite it, changing characters, the setting or the main events. I am looking forward to this and so are the children.

P5 Visit Dumfries House

 

 

 

Primary 5 had a really great day when we visited Dumfries House. Although it was chilly, the children were motivated and keen to get involved. The children made their own compost and worked great as a team. The children also enjoyed a vegetable hunt and worked with their partner to investigate how different vegetables grow. The children enjoyed digging up some vegetables and found some unusual shaped carrots and turnips. Everyone then went a lovely country walk to the park and had great fun. Lots of great learning went on and the children behaved so well. Well done!

P5 Measuring Angles

In room 13 Primary 5 have been learning all about angles. This week we used a protractor to help measure different angles. We measured right, acute and obtuse angles. Children who felt confident were able to help and support other children during the lesson. It was lovely to see other children giving advice and demonstrating how to use the protractor properly. Well done P5!
