P4–7
Our older pupils rotated through four exciting stations, seeing maths in real life and across the curriculum:
– 🤖 Coding Station — programming with Sphero Indis, Marty Robots and Scratch
– 🎲 Maths Games Cafe — practising skills through board games and card games
– 🏗️ STEM Challenge — building the tallest tower or a bridge strong enough to hold weight
– 💰 Maths Life Skills — planning and budgeting for parties, day trips and more
Maths really is everywhere — from counting and creating to coding and budgeting! Thank you for being part of our learning journey.

P5/4 Term 1

It has been so lovely to welcome the children back after the summer holidays and to settle into our new classroom upstairs.

Mrs Kirkwood teaches us on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Mr Woods teaches us on Thursdays and Fridays. Mrs Eaglesham supports our class in the mornings and Mrs Connelly and Mrs Morrison also support our class at times throughout the week.

We have started the term by creating our Class Charter, learning about our rights and how to respect others and our school. In Health and Wellbeing we are learning about the importance of being kind, encouraging others and valuing friendships.

We have already shown lots of enthusiasm for our Science topic which is all about Space. We have been learning about the planets, the sun and the moon.

Mr Woods is teaching us all about the Romans. We will be creating a timeline, fact files and we will even be building our own Colosseum!

In maths we will be learning about the properties of different shapes and different angles. We are working on our maths fluency, using number concepts quickly and accurately. We will also look at number patterns and sequences.

Our Talk for Writing text this term is The Time Slip Scarab. This is a portal story and we will be working on using lots of description in our writing.

PE is on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Spelling homework will be given out by Mrs Kirkwood on a Monday to be returned on a Friday. This is important reinforcement of the sounds being taught each week. Mr Woods will give out reading homework on a Friday to be returned on the following Friday.

Please remember to check your child’s Learning Journal regularly. Staff share photos of learning and the children are also encouraged to share work they are proud of.

Our P5–7 pupils had a fantastic trip to Flip Out today! Everyone had a brilliant time bouncing, climbing, and enjoying all the activities with their friends. There were lots of smiles, laughter, and energy throughout the day. Judging by how active they were, we think they’ll all be sleeping very well tonight! ☺️🏃🤸‍♂️🏎️

P5 – Term 4 Update!

Leave a comment

Term 4 Update – Primary 5

Welcome to the start of Term 4! We’re excited to begin a new term filled with fresh learning experiences, new topics, and plenty of opportunities for pupils to grow in confidence and independence. Below is an overview of what we’ll be focusing on during the term ahead.

Mathematics
This term, our main focus in numeracy will be on number. Pupils will continue to develop rapid recall of times tables, which supports learning across many areas of maths. We will also build on our use of number talks, encouraging pupils to explore and explain a range of strategies to solve addition and subtraction calculations efficiently. In addition, learners will explore time, data handling, and measurement, strengthening their ability to apply maths skills in real-life contexts.

Literacy
In literacy, we are continuing to build oral reading fluency alongside developing strong reading comprehension skills. As part of Talk for Writing, pupils have begun their final unit on descriptive writing. This has been met with great enthusiasm, with learners enjoying creating their own imaginative stories and detailed settings while extending their vocabulary and sentence structure.

Spelling
There will be a strong focus on consolidating common and tricky words. Improving spelling accuracy will support pupils’ confidence and quality of writing across all curriculum areas.

Topic – Current World Affairs
Our topic this term  is Current World Affairs. So far, pupils have explored the Artemis II space mission, developing curiosity about science and global developments. We will soon move on to learning about the World Cup—an exciting topic, especially as our own team has qualified, which is sure to spark enthusiasm and discussion.

Physical Education & Health and Wellbeing
In PE, pupils are focusing on gymnastics and fitness circuits, building strength, coordination, and stamina in preparation for Sports Day.

Within Health and Wellbeing, we have been learning about substance misuse, including how to stay safe around medicines and household products, and understanding the risks associated with smoking, vaping, alcohol, and caffeine. Moving forward, we will explore discrimination, emotional awareness, and self-regulation. Pupils will develop coping strategies for managing big emotions and build resilience as they begin preparing for their transition into P6.

We are looking forward to a busy and positive Term 4 filled with learning, growth, and new opportunities.
