Primary 5/6 have been working super hard this week. We have worked on our reading strategies and as we near the end of our modelling block we are looking forward to getting our own novels. We have also started to look at our Europe topic and have decided on what we know and what we want to find out. We’ve also enjoyed swimming and PE and P5 are looking forward to going back to the Tryst next week to develop our skills.
Weclome to the P5/6 blog. We’ve only been back a short time but we have already settled really well into our new class. We are very excited about all the new things we will learn this session and will keep you up-to-date on our blog.
Yesterday we thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Edinburgh. We loved The Camera Obscura and were fascinated by the spooky history of Mary King’s Close. We had lunch Al Fresco (even though it nearly blew away) and got to take in many of our Capitals beautiful sights. We got to hear the bagpipes and had a great view of Edinburgh Castle.
“It took a long time to get there, but it was worth the wait.” Sam
“I was thrilled by the invisible man.” Allan
“I enjoyed all of the optical illusions.” Gabrielle

We would also like to thank Miss Kiddie and our parent helpers who gave up their time to come to Edinburgh with us. Mrs Stewart and Mrs McAuley were also very proud of all the boys and girls and would like to praise them on their perfect behaviour. We were even given compliments by the staff and other tourists. WELL DONE!!
Lets keep our fingers (and toes) crossed for sun!!

We went out into our Nature Garden this afternoon to investigate what types of birds we could find. We recorded our results and are looking forward to finding out if we have attracted a larger variety of birds after our ‘Dig in Day’ on the 30th May.
