After learning about insects, Primary 5A used their wildlife area to gather up materials (leaves, twigs, stones, berries) to create their very own outdoor insect pictures.

We were treated to a performance by the Shetland Youth Orchestra last week in the Sound Hall. The orchestra is made up of children from all over Shetland including both primary and secondary, and their musical talents are amazing!
We were introduced to all the different instrument families including brass, woodwind, strings and percussion. We listened to a mixture of music including classical, swing and even a theme tune or too. We particularly liked the Wallace and Grommit theme tune which they played as we were leaving the hall.
What a very enjoyable way to spend a Friday afternoon!
We have started the year in PE with dodgeball. The whole class have loved the block, especially learning new games. We have needed to use a lot of different skills to play the games including, catching, throwing, aiming, dodging, reacting, making decisions, responding respectfully, following the rules, cooperating, competing and more.
We have been learning lots about invertebrates in our Living Things topic and the pupils were able to work together and find a whole host of invertebrates (minibeasts) living in our wildlife area. Pupils were very respectful of their minibeasts habitat and took care to return any rocks or stones back where they found them.
This week we have been revising our 2D and 3D shape and learning about the properties of a shape. We went outside and searched for shapes that make up our environment. The pupils had a great time taking their learning outdoors.
This week we have been learning about living things in our topic, including the different animal groups. In groups, pupils chose an animal group to research and create a poster. They are looking great and we can wait to see the final products.
Welcome back to school P5A. It’s been a great first couple of weeks with lots of learning already taking place. Please find attached the Curriculum Information for this term which includes details of all the learning we have planned. Please remember that we have Art on Tuesdays and Music on Wednesdays. PE will be on Fridays so please wear comfy clothes and suitable shoes for this.
We thoroughly enjoyed our visit from Children’s Classic Concerts on Tuesday. We got to participate in lots of fun ways, and some of us even got to experience playing their instruments with them. We did a great job!
