Day and Night Experiment
As part of our studies on Planet Earth, today we worked collaboratively in an experiment to discover how the Earth rotates throughout the day.
Addition Strategies
Today, Primary 5 worked together to share additional strategies. They were adding up in chunks and are able to explain their process of thought to one another.
Children’s Rights
We have been exploring a variety of Articles within the UNCRC. We used a variety of relevant Articles to compile our Class Charter. We understand that these are universal entitlements for all children and can identify our own responsibility to make sure our classmates enjoy these rights.
Making Thinking Visible
We have been using a variety of Making Thinking
Visible strategies to explore the characters, main events and key themes within our novel “Wonder”. We especially enjoy debating some of these through a “tug of war”, where listening to the views of our classmates can often influence us to change our minds!
Natural Disasters
We are thoroughly enjoying learning about a variety of Natural Disasters through our Social Studies topic. We have completed a variety of research about the difference between natural and man made disasters and used our facts to write super Explanations.
Rocks and Minerals
Primary 5 have been exploring different rocks and minerals that can be found on Planet Earth.
Creating Crystals
Primary 5 carried out an experiment to create crystals as part of their science topic exploring Planet Earth.
Kodaly Music
Primary 5 have been having great fun learning different musical skills with Mrs MacGregor.
Shrines to Our Lady
We have been learning about the shrine to Our Lady in the town of Montserrat in Spain. We have created a poster to display our knowledge to others. This will be displayed in the hall.
