Weekly Snapshot – Week beginning 29th September
This week Primary 5 went on a class trip to the SEC to immerse ourselves in Ancient Egypt!
We had so much fun exploring the different areas and learning more about our topic. Our highlights included the fully immersive cinema where we travelled down the Nile and learned all about Tutankhamun, using VR to discover what the afterlife would be like, watching a mummification through holograms and even turning ourselves into Pharaohs in the photobooth!

It’s Maths Week!
This week Primary 5 have been embracing the “Maths in the Wild” theme. We learned about organic shapes in nature and used this to create fun shape art. We also learned the Fibonacci number sequence and how it appears in nature before writing Maths-themed poetry based on the Fibonacci pattern. P5 loved getting out “into the wild” to join in with outdoor Maths. We also enjoyed participating in the Maths Week Live Lesson with Super Questers!
Weekly Snapshot – Week beginning 15th September
This week in P5, we have been busy with our own personal projects to consolidate our Ancient Egypt topic. We made leaflets, posters or PowerPoints to share all of the amazing things we’ve learned. P5 have also been busy learning lots of new common words in spelling and we have started exploring addition and subtraction strategies in Maths.

P5 have been very busy learning week!
We have been continuing to explore place value in Maths, focusing on decimal numbers this week. We also loved using Minecraft Education to build Egyptian tombs from our story, A Mummy Ate My Homework. We checked on our mummified apples and also learned how to write hieroglyphics.

What a busy week in P5!
Our highlights included learning all about recycling and creating sustainable fashion with Miss Purdon. We also found out all about the “Boy King” Tutankhamun and made our own death masks (ask us why these were so important for pharaohs!). Then we used salt to mummify apples. We can’t wait to unwrap them in 2 weeks to see what they look like!
Weekly Snapshot – Week beginning 25th August
This week has been fun-filled and full of learning in P5!
Our highlights included exploring how numbers are made and the value of digits within a number. We also continued our Ancient Egyptian topic by finding out more about the people who lived there and why The Nile was so important.
