P5/6 Class Blog Term 1
Space – Solar Systems
We worked in groups to use fruit to represent the planets in the Solar System.
We enjoyed tasting the different fruits, and a few really liked the grapefruit.
21st September – Stem Visit from Eleanor
Eleanor talked to us about Satellites and the many different careers in the Space Industry. Then we worked with a partner or in a small group. We used an app on the Ipads to programme the robots to orbit the Earth and collect Space Junk. We all did an amazing job!
Health and Wellbeing
On Friday afternoons, just before Fun Friday, we split into our primaries, rather than staying with our composite class. P6 are taught by Miss Birnie, and P5 learn with me. It’s lovely to spend time together and helps us maintain friendships with a wider range of peers.
Maths Week Scotland
During Maths Week Scotland (19th – 27th September 2026) we joined in with some of the online activities. We learned about different number systems including Egyptians and Roman numerals.
We wrote our own Maths Tales about the Maths Week Scotland Mascot – Finn Finity going on a journey. We entered the competition and look forward to hearing back in November!
Trip to the Park – 8th October 2026
As a celebration for meeting our Daily Writing Target we went to the King Harald Street Park for a play. It was a lovely weather and everyone had a great time!
Space Inventions Homework
P5/6 have been working hard to create amazing Space Homework. They have shared their creations with their class.
