What a busy term 2 it’s been in Primary 5!
Just some of our learning shown below:
Roll on Term 3 fun!
Happy holidays when they come!
Miss Barradas 🙂
Some pictures of Term 1 activities in Primary 5. Ranging from place value games and our new favourite flippy, floppy fingers in maths, all the way to lots of science experiments and gravity defying STEM challenges!
It was a busy Term 1!
P4/5 enjoyed learning all about electricity from Generation Science. They learned about circuits, electrons, how electricity is made and were able to conduct their own experiments. At the end they charged up hex bugs in their groups to have a race. A super afternoon! 🙂
Primary 5 have really enjoyed opportunities to engage in African Drumming with Joy Duncan. They have worked hard on complicated rhythms and have created wonderful music. 
Kate Hookham worked with classes in April . P5 enjoyed learning about different knots to tie and secure rope and attach tarp to make a basic shelter.
Hello Everyone,
It’s been lovely to have the bairns back in school and we’ve made a productive start to a busy term.
Term 4 Curriculum Overviews are in schoolbags today.
Primary 5 have been exploring the BBC micro:bits that we have recently received. The website “make code” editor has been really useful to follow and help us learn how to code. So far we have programmed the hardware to make a name badge, picture and a tune.
We have also been learning about how wind turbines work. We made our own wind turbines using: card, string, a straw, a cup, a skewer and tape. We used a hairdryer to create the wind and saw how this can be used to transfer wind energy into kinetic energy.
Hello everyone,
Now that we are back after all the snow, we are able to hand out the overview of learning for term 3. The paper copy is going home today in school bags. Parents and children can access the Term 3 overview for pupils here:
It is also available on Glow Teams.
Thank you,
Mrs Laurenson, Miss Thomason and Mrs Paul
Hello everyone.
We hope you are keeping safe and hopefully having some fun in the snow too . The P5 teachers have put together a learning grid for pupils to access digitally. This is on the P5 Team as well as here: Grid Term 3 Week 2 23 24
Mrs Paul who is also our Art Teacher has put together a grid of Art activities, which is here: Art snow days – p5-7
We are missing you all and looking forward to seeing you again soon.
Mrs Laurenson, Miss Thomason and Mrs Paul
House Teams – STEM Challenge
Our whole school STEM challenge involved all pupils across all 4 “houses”. This one shows some of the children making a game out of basic resources. They worked well together as a team to make a catapult to launch the frog onto its lily pad. Younger and older children mixed together to share skills and ideas to meet their targets.
Inclusive Culture
As part of our Health and Well-being lessons, Primary 5 have been thinking about how to help create a more inclusive culture for the school. We spoke about some words to get a better understanding of what they mean, like culture, inclusion, misunderstood, alone. Then we spoke about some tricky playground situations that might happen, and what ideas we had to improve things for everyone. Finally we designed posters to put up and help remind us of our approach. Here are 2 examples.
Animation
We have started exploring how to created animations. There are so many different areas of the curriculum that we can bring together in this learning. Click on the text below to see one of our first steps into the world on animation.
