Today we went on an Autumn walk. Whilst we were out, we took some notes on what Autumn looks like, what colours we see in Autumn and what the weather is like in Autumn. We also found lots of chestnut trees so we spent some time rummaging through the leaves to find conkers. Then we returned to the classroom and created some Autumn poems. The children had so much fun they asked if we could create a poem on every season!

Just a quick thank you to everyone who came along last night to Meet the Teacher, it was great putting some faces to the names and the children really enjoyed showing you around our classroom.
Also, a huge well done to our first star writers of the year! Great work!
Have a great weekend and Iโll see you all on Monday!

Just a quick reminder that our โMeet the Teacherโ night will be taking place on Thursday 19th September (this Thursday). This is an informal occasion to give you the chance to meet myself, visit your childโs classroom and get an idea of the kind of activities that we will be doing this year in primary 5. Iโm looking forward to seeing everyone who can make it!

As the Primary 7โs are visiting the High School for the next 6 weeks, our gym time will change from before lunchtime to first thing in the morning. As a result, could all children please come to school wearing their gym kit on Wednesdays and bring their school clothes with them in their bags. This will mean that we donโt lose any of our precious gym time getting changed!
Thanks in advance,
Miss Donaldson
Today was Roald Dahl Day and, to celebrate, Primary 5 took part in a Roald Dahl quiz (well done to the winning team โThe Golden Tickets!โ) and became illustrators by redesigning the front cover of their favourite Roald Dahl book. I think they look great!
Today Mr McMullan kindly offered Primary 5 the chance to see how the honey is harvested from our bee hives! It was so interesting! We canโt wait to see how much money Primary 7 can raise this year through the sale of their honey and lip balm.

Today Primary 5 have had such a fun time listening to everyoneโs โAll About Meโ homework presentations. I was absolutely thrilled with how much time and effort you all clearly spent on them! (Also a huge thank you to all the mums and dads for the time you all spent digging up pictures and craft materials โ the children were all really proud to show the class their work).
No rest for Primary 5 though, new homework jotters and activities have been handed out today. Please let me know if you have any questions or are in need of any materials for the Art and Design activity.
Homework is to be handed in on Mondays.
