Primary 5 applied block programming skills to create a 3D world and programed movable characters. Next we will look at designing 1 and 2 player games.
Fairtrade in ICT
Primary 5 looked at specific Fairtrade products and selected how they were going to present their information. Some children used Powerpoint to create posters, quizzes and presentations. Other children decidd to challenge themselves and use their programming skills to create a Fairtrade animation on Scratch.

Today Emma showcased her fabulous singing in front of the entire school. She sang ‘This is Me’ from The Greatest Showman which was a real crowd pleaser! We were all really proud of how well she did!
Well done Emma! 👏✨
This Week…
And so we come to the end of another busy week! This week we have spent lots of time learning more about Chinese New Year, which was on Tuesday.
On Tuesday, the children made spring rolls to try. All the other teachers were commenting on how good they smelled!
In numeracy, we have come to the end of our money topic and, after the February break we will be moving on to multiplication and division so get practicing your tables on TopMarks please!

Creating code
Primary 5 are learning to work with code blocks. They are creating and changing algorithms to complete challenges and solve problems.
Burns Day
Today, to celebrate Burns Day, Primary 5 acted out the verses of the poem A Dug, A Dug by Bill Keys. Some of our performances were spectacular! Special mention goes to Lara, Brooke and Connor who won our competition by acting with fantastic expression and developing actions.

Assault Course Fun 🏃♀️🏃♂️
Primary 5 had a blast today on the fitness course. Have a look for yourself!
Homework Champions 👑🥇
A huge well done to Aaron and Lara who completed their homework and received a huge 100 house points! Christmas homework will be handed out on Monday; I wonder who will win that one! 🎄✨
Clothes for Tomorrow
There will be an assault course set up in the gym hall tomorrow so children are asked to come to school wearing sports clothes. Football colours are, as usual, not allowed.
Secondly, as it is St. Andrew’s Day tomorrow, children are allowed to wear tartan to school (don’t worry if you don’t have anything).
