Term 1 Update from Primary 5

Primary 5 have settled in well to their new class and they have been enjoying Term 1 so far. The children are really enthusiastic about their Interdisciplinary topic The Vikings. The children have been leaning about the Viking timeline, Viking God’s and Goddesses and Vikings as warriors. Using their design skills the children have created a first draft of their own Viking shield and are looking forward to completing their final design. Primary 5 have impressed me with their skills in technology. We have been using the laptops where the children have been creating word documents to record Viking facts then adding an image to match. The children are excited to learn more about The Vikings and also to create a 3D Viking longboat. Look out for our pictures on Twitter.

Primary 6 Update: Term 1

Now that the new term is well underway, Primary 6 have settled into their new class and are working super hard! As senior pupils of the school, we have the responsibility of organising the committees this year. The children are looking forward to working together to complete this task!

Endangered Species

Primary 6 have shown great enthusiasm for their new topic – Endangered Species – and have enjoyed discussing ways in which we can help to save the amazing wildlife on our planet. We have been very lucky to work with Save the Rhino who have sent us some resources! The children recently created an information report on the Javan Rhino and are keen to share the facts and information they have learned. This topic has also given the children great opportunities to use their creative and artistic skills!

Song Writing Project

Primary 6 are incredibly fortunate as they will be writing and recording a song in the coming months as part of the “Youth Music Initiative” programme. Over the next few weeks, they will work with professionals from this initiative to write their own unique lyrics. The theme for this project is “Incredible Structures” and we are looking forward to getting started!

An Update from Primary 7

We can’t believe we are half way through September already! Primary 7 have been working really hard on all aspects of the curriculum so far. We enjoyed learning how to up-level our sentences through Rainbow Writing. We worked with a partner and inserted more interesting words into dull sentences. During our maths lessons we have been rotating round different stations learning about rounding. Have a look at our pictures to see the fun learning we have been doing.
