Fairtrade Art Competition

Every class took part in this year’s competition which was to draw and colour a picture which included the Fairtrade logo. Every class had one winner and the overall winners were Dylan P4a, Jennifer P6a and Sofia P5b. The prizes were Fairtrade chocolate and key rings. The judges were the P4 Fairtrade committee. All the entries were very good and the best are now on display in school.

Fairtrade Art Competition 2018

This year’s school competition is to draw a picture which includes the Fairtrade logo, for example as the eye of an animal or in the fabric of a dress. All pupils will have time in class to make an entry. There is a prize for each class. The closing date is 28 February . We are looking forward to seeing lots of imaginative ideas.

Wizard of Oz

This is a live link to this year’s pantomime performance! We’re loving watching The Wizard of Oz – so far we’ve met Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, the Lion and the Wicked Witch of the West. Lots of laughs, songs to join in with and our Christmas lunch to look forward to too!

 

Blog p5a

This week we have been learning about the 6 and 7 time tables.

We have been reading chapter 16 of our class novel Charlotte’s Web.

We have also enjoyed drawing illustrations in the style of Nick Sharratt who works with Jacqueline Wilson on the Tracy Beaker.

Busy, busy in P5a!

Primary 5a had a busy start to the week with assembly followed by hockey in PE.  Our photos show  our cooperative spelling activities where we had to work together to make words using letters cut from newspapers and also some excellent and very accurate addition work by James!

Homework                                                                                                                     Reading – everyone should be reading their ERIC book for 15/20 minutes each day.                                                                                                  Numeracy – a worksheet has been given out to be completed at home.                                                                                                                           Spelling  – pupils should write each word twice more in their jotters, write two (quality!) sentences and put their words into alphabetical order.  Please remind your child to “Look, Say, Cover, Write and Check” to help them to remember each word rather than just copying them.

   

 

 

P5 Sports Challenge

  Primary 5 organised a Sports Challenge day for P1-6.

As part of their enterprise topic, P5 designed the obstacle course, adapting it for the infant and upper classes.

All children were asked to bring in a donation for our chosen charity, Child Bereavement UK.

Every P5 had a role to play, from collecting the money to timing each child that took part.

P5 would like to say a big thank you to all who participated. We were able to raise £100 for our charity, Child Bereavement UK.

We hope you all had a great time!

An extra well done to our winners!
