Primary Five performed Skyscraper Wean at the Scottish Assembly.

We thought we did a fabulous job.  Here we are singing the chorus.

Next week we are looking forward to finding out more about Scotland and tasting some Scottish food on Wednesday. 

     This term Primary Five are very lucky to be working with Brian in the outdoor area.  This week in taught writing we learned how to write a recount.  Baighley has written an excellent blog detailing what out class did for outdoor learning.

On Monday Primary Five were working with their outdoor specialist, Brian, to plant garlic in the outdoor area.

The day started with the children making their way to the outdoor classroom to gather some equipment.  They used the shovels to prepare the planters, remove weeds and turn the soil over.  They also removed any sticks and stones from the planters.

After that ,Primary Five took the garlic that Primary Three planted in pots before Christmas and replanted it in the outdoor planters.  The roots had already started to grow and looked like white worms.  Meanwhile groups of other children were weeding the extra planters.

Primary Five will continue to work with Brian in the outdoor area for the next ten weeks.  Keep checking the blog to see what they have been doing.

We are all delighted to be back at school after our Christmas Holiday.  We are looking forward to the new term and all the exciting things we will be doing.

This term, we are very lucky to be having Brian with us on a Monday to help us investigate the outdoors.  We are growing potatoes in our classroom and will be planting them outside in March.

*****Outdoor clothes are needed every Monday*****

We are very busy learning our song for the Scottish Assembly and are looking forward to performing for the school.

In French, we have been leaning how to say animal names and how to comment on what pets we have.
