Today has been a vegetable crazed day! We started the morning looking at symmetry in vegetables. We created fruit and vegetable inspired tessellations, draw the other half of cut vegetables, created symmetrical pictures with vegetables and mandalas!
Happy national spinach day!

French
Now I’m going to talk about French. We learned the days of the week. That was easy because we learned it in p3, p4 and now in p5 – Demi

What a super start to Term 3!
January saw the Scalloway Fire Festival fun start us off and we were delighted to see our very own Viking in the mix! There’s been lots of problem solving challenges in the classroom and some DIY boats floating in the sink. Also a mucky pup after playtime!!
So far February has brought more learning about Ancient Egypt. The class enjoyed an afternoon of being Pharaohs and slaves – we had some very creative pharaohs! This week, we started off our mummification focus by mummifying various fruits and vegetables in salt and baking soda.
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!

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.
