We have started our new maths topic – addition.

We have learned about the +  add sign and the = makes sign.

As usual, we like to learn through a song.

We will be playing lots of adding games on the computer. You could try them at home if you like.

Well done to our two mental maths champions who both got great marks in their ‘Beat That’ tests!

We will soon be having another day with our buddies.  We are looking for empty cardboard boxes and tubes of all different shapes and sizes (no bigger than cereal box) please. Bring them in as soon as possible and keep them in your class.

Thank you

Here are links to some time games that you can play to help you become more familiar with what we have been working on in class.

We are very excited about our trip to Dynamic Earth next Thursday. Thank you to anyone who has volunteered to help us on the day.  We will send a note home tomorrow to a couple of parents who have offered to check they can still attend.  It is great to have so many volunteers – thanks again!

If you have not already returned your trip  letter please try to do this as soon as possible.

Thanks

Mrs McKay

We had an amazing afternoon yesterday thanks to Google’s Virtual Reality experience.  P4 had lots of fun viewing polar bears in the Arctic, visiting the Antarctic and also having a quick peep at sharks under water and the moon.  The children were very excited and engaged throughout. It was a new experience for most of us but an excellent one that we are very keen to try again.  Through this workshop the children were able to experience what it would be like to be in the polar regions whilst finding out some useful facts.  It has got us very excited for our trip to Dynamic Earth next week.

Here are some photos from the visit.

We all had fun finding out about toys in the past.  I hope you like our peg dolls.  If you have any old-fashioned toys at home, it would be great to see them.

Well done , boys and girls.  You all did good listening and showed lovely Bishopton manners.

Thank you

Mrs Ferguson

Good evening P5S!  We are in need of glass jars for an arts and craft activity we have planned for later this month. We need one for everyone in class (22). Please bring in any you may have at home. They should be washed and label free. We do not need the lids.

Thank you!

Today we created Food Trumps to look at why food is transported worldwide and how this can effect the environment.
