We try to end every day  reading some of our class book, just now it’s Harry Potter and the Philosophers stone. Reading during any free time at home is always a great idea to help with school work

We had our last week of rugby today, I wonder what we’ll do next week

We had some excellent arguments for and against deforestation today! This group were ready to debate!

I’m not sure that I’ve shown much maths on this blog, but we do maths every day! We have now moved on from place value to focus on addition and subtraction, and we are revising and learning about time on Mondays

This weeks homework is on teams, Sumdog homework challenges are aimed at the work we’ve been in class and are very good for revising. Top marks Hit the Button game can also be really useful when practising addition and subtraction

Today we learned that the rainforest homes of tribe families that we created are being destroyed for deforestation. Primary 5 were then split into sides of the deforestation debate- loggers, farmers, environmentalists and indigenous tribes. We researched and planned our arguments today and will start debating next week

Have a nice weekend

The sun came out for today’s outdoor pe, everybody got really involved with rugby and there were lots of tired out legs!

As we have been learning about endangered animals, we decided to adopt an animal that needs lots of help. P5 voted to adopt a polar bear and named it Vanilla

This afternoon we had some good discussions about how we can help if someone is being bullied and promote anti-bullying. Together we made our united against bullying jigsaw
