Welcome back after our Easter break everybody. We are well underway with our learning this term.
Please find attached the curriculum information for this term, containing our planned learning.
P5A were thrilled to be paired up with their reading buddies again this term. We spent some time in the library this week sharing our love of reading.
P5A took part in a time scavenger hunt in pairs to revise all the learning they did on time last term. They did an excellent job of working in pairs to solve the time code breaker.
Our topic this term is Water. We have been learning all about the water cycle and the importance of water. P5A spent time outside this week looking at the best areas around the school to place a water butt to collect water. They also took time to decorate their own water butts. This task involved collaborating with peers and applying critical thinking, a very important meta skill. Next week we will monitor the water they collect.
Parents and carers were invited into our class to see our Stories of the Sea Museum.
It’s nearly the Easter break so we created some colourful Easter Bunny Art and used handwriting pens to draw some intricate detail onto our bunnies.
We had a visit from Claire White yesterday. She played us some Shetland fiddle tunes and showed us her Betty Moaut film, linking into our Stories of the Sea topic. We used our creativity to write about an eventful time in our own lives that could later be used to create a piece of writing, a poem or song. It was a real treat.
Pupils stated that learning outdoors at the beach had helped them focus and lift their mood whilst working collaboratively to search for beach artefacts to display back in the classroom (all very important meta skills). They also stated that they enjoyed adapting to learning in a different environment and spending time outdoors with each other, even though it was a cold, blustery day.
This week P5A have been taking part in a range of activities to celebrate World Book Day on 7th March. These included:
It’s been a great week of activities, sharing our love of reading.
