We have been creating our own space themed imaginative writing project. We have been taking our time creating drafts and then redrafting in to a book. We check in with each other to show our progress and get feedback.

We have also been pairing up with P2/3 for reading buddies, reading their group novels as well a book for enjoyment. We have been asking them questions for understanding and finding wow words.

For measure, we focussed on volume and made our own smoothies and measured the volume of smoothie.

Primary 5/6 are researching some Fairtrade facts. Looking at Fairtrade products and how giving farmers a fair deal helps them to grow their business and help the communities where they live.

Children are creating Powerpoints presentations using imagines and text – with some children trying to apply their newly learned programming skills to create an informative Scratch animation.

P5/6 made our own tomato sauce and experimented with the taste of garlic and onion and cooked pasta for a mid-day snack 👍🏼🤩🍅 🍝

We also have been researching about the moon and finding the answers to our many questions and teaching our peers. We showcased our knowledge and skills using PowerPoint to create fantastic presentations!

P5/6 have been learning all about Chinese New Year and the15 days of celebrations and the story of the Zodiac animals.  Quiz us at home about the traditions! We then created bright and colourful posters for display to teach others about the celebrations and festivals surrounding this holiday 🇨🇳🧧🥳 🎆.

P5/6 competed their 8 HIIT exercises trying to beat their previous score of ‘How many in 1 minute?’ They all done an amazing job! 🌟We focussed today on counting our resting pulse rate and working pulse rate and discussed why these are different. We also completed a 15 minute HIIT workout to see how our trainees should be after we each participate in carrying out our own HIIT programmes which we planned with our partners. We are all ready for the challenge next week 💪 ⭐.

In literacy, we read Chapter 10 of The Ice Monster and focussed on taking notes of examples of onomatopoeia and good vocabulary, WOW words used. We can’t wait to create some of our own and use within our story writing.

Primary 5/6 are using scratch to program a sprite. They need to select a sprite and a background. Then they need to create a block code to make their sprite move and rotate. They were challenged to program speech, sound and a costume change to show an animation.
