P4/5 came back swinging after the Easter holidays! We have been focussing on symmetry and shape in maths, having lots of colourful fun with patterns, letters and lego. P4s learned about the life cycle of a plant while the P5s returned to the pool. We also started our brand-new topic, learning all about Japan. This week, we learned about Japan’s four main islands and explored the cities of Tokyo and Kyoto – ask them which one was their favourite!

This week in P4/5 was project: assembly rehearsal! Things are really coming along. Also, the P5s continued to enjoy swimming and P4s were landscape designers, planning some ideas for how to transform our outdoor space. We also enjoyed some time exploring Mathletics, a new maths app that combines learning challenges and interactive games. One more week to go until the Easter break, let’s smash it!

Lots of outdoor fun this week since Spring has sprung! Wednesday saw the start of the weekly swimming block for P5. P4s decided to start an outdoor learning project while our P5 pals are off splashing around, so we spent some time outside scouting for space and inspiration. The rest of our week was spent preparing some special video content for our upcoming Easter assembly. Here are a few snapshots as a sneak peek!

This week, P4/5 have been having fun designing a new air filter or fans with our STEM materials to celebrate Science Week. We enjoyed some book-themed mental maths too. However, our most exciting part of the week was our school trip to the Kelpies! We went inside one of the sculptures, designed our own mythological creatures and learned all about how Andy Scott designed and built these massive Kelpies!

Golden Book – February
Miss Robertson had the best time with this month’s Golden Book-ers. They taught her all about electricity, from circuits, to mains power, conductors – their knowledge was electric! They also shared their Scottish writing project, teaching Miss R how to write a Tanka while making sure she counted her syllables and added her Scots words. It was braw! Thank you for sharing your excellent work with me.

Golden Book was a delight with this wonderful group of happy learners. Thank you for teaching me all about art and playful maths! It looks so much fun to be in P4/5.
Primary 5 were buzzing sharing their learning with Mrs Hawthorn today. So many wonderful learning experiences were shared talking about Maths and Numeracy and Expressive Arts. The joy on their faces as their ability to describe in detail what has been going on in P5 was out of this world. Excellent job P5!
Miss R was delighted to spend some time with the Primary 5 Golden Book-ers! She learned some new spelling strategies, and found out about the difference between suffixes and affixes. They were also so excited to tell her about outdoor learning and all of the skills they have been using to make structures, big hotels and rivers. Amazing work!
