Primary 5 Golden Book – February
Primary 5 were a joy today at Golden Book with Mrs H! Today they chatted about Maths Shape learning as well as Expressive Arts. Mrs H was challenged to identify the faces, vertices and edges of various 3D shapes. They were buzzing about a challenging iPad game too that timed your ability to identify 2D shapes.
I loved hearing about the Glasgow City mural graffiti art tour, Mrs H would love to see them all on a nice sunny day. It was great to see their enthusiasm for Charles Rennie McIntosh and many, many more. Such brilliant learners to spend the afternoon with, thank you!

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!
