What a busy and active month we have had here in P6/5!  Despite having had 3 short weeks this month, we have packed lots of learning into this beautiful month of May.

We celebrated the King’s Coronation by exploring the countries that make up the Commonwealth. We wrote a recount of the story of King Charles III’s Coronation and completed the work by creating a collage of King Charles III’s profile using the colours of the flag of Great Britain.

We dedicated the month of May to Our Lady by saying the Rosary each week in school.  We learned how important the Rosary is in our faith and how devotion to Our Lady is a central part of our faith. Some of the girls in class led the prayers during lunchtime and encouraged some of the younger children to participate too.  One of our classmates brought beautiful flowers in to decorate our May Altar which was a beautiful gift for Our Lady.

We were very lucky to have a block of 4 lessons with the Scottish Rugby Union who sent a coach to teach us how to play rugby.  We learned how to throw a rugby ball by spinning it to our team mates and also learned how to score a try. Grant left us treats and a quiz to complete now that the  block is over.  Leaflets will be given out to the classes that were involved in the rugby sessions encouraging us to try a few rugby sessions with our local teams.

We are almost at the end of our block of swimming and dry sports at the Sir Matt Busby Centre which has been incredible fun. Most of the class are now able to swim due to the expertise of the swimming instructors and we will be able to go swimming safely during the holidays.

Most of the class have prepared so well for our upcoming show, We have learned lines, practised our songs and attended after school sessions in preparation for our production of Peter Pan.  We are so excited to show it to our family and friends next week in St Gerard’s Primary School.
