Golden Book
Primary 5’s Golden Book session was utterly fantastic! Everyone shared their detailed knowledge of their Ancient Egypt IDL Topic and tested Miss Purdon’s spelling ability with the wide range of new vocabulary they have learned! The class outing to the Tutankhamun experience sounded phenomenal, what a wonderful end to your block of learning. Maths Week in Primary 5 was also packed with a variety of learning experiences. Thank you for sharing your learning with me!

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!

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!
