Welcome to our class page from Primary Five and Miss McNeillie
Term 1
We started the year by reading The Boy at The Back of the Class by Onjali Q Rauf. Studying this class novel allowed us to explore the plight of refugees in a sensitive and engaging way. We loved exploring the life and struggles of Ahmet and developed compassion towards a very relevant and current topic happening around us. We also wrote persuasive letters to the home secretary in support of refugees in response to this class novel.
In health and wellbeing lessons, we found out that Growth Mindset and Kindness are two of the most important things that Miss McNeillie wants to teach us. We read a book called “Have You Filled A Bucket Today?” which was a fun way for us to learn that our words and actions have an impact on people even if it’s invisible and we cannot see the positive or negative impact. Each day we use post it notes to send our classmates anonymous notes in their ‘buckets’ to make them feel good about themselves.
We participated in weekly swimming sessions at Maybole Swimming Pool and everyone loved developing their swimming skills and having fun in the water.
Primary 5 also worked very hard to prepare and perform a Harvest Celebration Assembly. We researched what harvest was, how Christians celebrated harvest, wrote a script, created sensory poems and painted autumn wreathes. Our performance was a huge success and Miss McNeillie was so proud of us!
We used water colours to paint huge pieces of paper and then sketched leaves to create our wreathes.
We enjoyed a visit from the SPCA and used tablets to code robots. We worked in groups to build the rabbit robots and had to use coding to make them move around our classroom using technology.
We also participated in a Beyond the Panda experience which linked to our learning in Mandarin. We learned lots of facts about pandas and the importance of their conservation. Fun fact – we could not believe that pandas do not have thumbs!
We celebrated Maths Week by exploring how numeracy and mathematics apply to jobs and careers in the real world. We talked about how maths is all around us in our everyday lives we rely on things such as time to function. We invited parents into our class to participate in a STEM challenge – our challenge was to create a safety device for a raw egg so that it could drop from 1m high without cracking. We created a design and chose suitable materials to create a device in co-operative learning groups.
Term 2
Our Topic this term is The Victorians. In the beginning we did not know very much about Queen Victoria or what life was like during Victorian times but we now know loads of amazing and interesting facts and are able to compare our lives today to the past – we were fascinated that children were made to work from a very young age. We were also particularly amazed researching and exploring how Victorians celebrated Christmas and finding out what traditions are still around today! Ask us who invented Christmas crackers, we are experts.
We visited the Carrick centre and learned how to make shortbread and pizza. We loved cooking together and tasting our food! We used reading, listening skills, group work and cooking skills to be successful.
Term 2 was hectic with Halloween, Bonfire Night and Christmas celebrations! We had lots of fun. During science lessons, we looked at states of matter and how things can change state from solids, liquids and gasses. We made predictions about what would happen when we mixed certain substances together. We were amazed when we made a pumpkin eruption. We created science reports about our findings and identified if our hypothesis was accurate!
We had lots of Christmas fun! We made reindeer hot chocolate cones for the Christmas Fayre. In numeracy lessons, we focused on money and also business enterprise. We had a budget to stick to and wanted to make a profit. We explored mathematical language such as profit, loss, budget and break even. We also learned about hidden costs such as delivery charges when buying items online. We think it is important to link our learning to real life contexts!
Term 3
Our topic this term is firstly Scot’s Language and The Life of Robert Burns as we explore his early life and become familiar with his famous poems. We are learning “To A Mouse” and “Willie Wastle” as part of our Scots language unit of work. We also learned our national anthem “O’ Flower of Scotland”. P5 worked extremely hard to learn a Scots poem and song. An extra special well done to our Scots poem finalists Bronwen, Lara, Blair and Russell and song finalists Finlay, Cameron, Samuel and Courtney. You were all fabulous!
We also created some lovely Scottish themed art. We sketched realistic portraits of Robert Burns using sketching pencils and painted tartan backgrounds. We placed our portraits on top of the tartan to make them stand out.
Below is photos of us sketching and painting and also some finished art work which we are very proud of:
We know that the best way to improve our own understanding is by teaching others. We have promoted ‘mini-professors’ that consolidate their knowledge by supporting others. We love teaching and learning with our peers in P5! Below is some photos from our peer learning in action during numeracy sessions:
In light of current events in the world we are also exploring natural disasters as our topic in Term 3. We are becoming familiar with causes of natural disasters and the impacts of extreme weather on life and land. Look at our amazing models we created as part of our home learning – they are amazing! Huge well done to the boys and girls and their families who put in lots of effort, time and hard work to produce wonderful models.

We are currently participating in weekly Golf sessions with Oli from Trump Turnberry. We are learning a range of new skills and getting to use lots of equipment. We can now putt and chip successfully! We have also been learning how to play badminton in our weekly PE sessions.
We updated our Health and Well-being wall our new class motto is “Strong people do not pull others down, they help pull them up”. Every week we choose a pupil to celebrate and we write things that we love about them or what makes them unique and add post-its to our display. It is a super way of encouraging kindness and improving self-esteem in our classroom. We enjoy celebrating each others successes and spreading kindness everyday. Here is a very happy boy showing off what his class love about him:

We are also participating in a Citizen Science Project linked to our topic of Natural Disasters and Extreme Weather. We are carrying out a study to explore the impact of weather on birds and mini beasts in our local area around the school. We have been working with Karen, a ranger from Culzean who has been sharing her expert knowledge with us! We loved getting outdoors and exploring our local area.
This term, we will also put together our school show. This includes a lot of singing, dancing, acting, hard work and most importantly FUN! We are excited to showcase all our hard work!
