Welcome to\u00a0our class page\u00a0from Primary Five\u00a0and Miss McNeillie<\/strong><\/p>\n

Term 1 <\/strong><\/p>\n

We\u00a0started 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

We participated in weekly swimming sessions at Maybole Swimming\u00a0Pool and everyone loved developing their swimming skills and having fun in the water.<\/p>\n

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!<\/p>\n

We used water colours to paint huge pieces of paper and then sketched leaves to create our wreathes.<\/p>\n
