Whiteness Primary 5/6/7

We have explored the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and have used some of the most relevant Articles to help us form our class charter. We will all follow this to ensure our class is a happy, safe and friendly learning environment. We decided to make a pompom animals to represent ourselves. We persevered and in the end all successfully made a pompom!

Welcome back Primary 5/6/7. We have had a super start to the new term with lots of exciting learning already taking place.

Please remember that we have Art on a Monday and Music on Wednesdays. PE will be on a Wednesday and Thursday, with swimming on a Tuesday during term 1. We will also be completing the daily mile.

Homework will go home on a Tuesday, please could you make sure this comes back for the following Monday.

We can’t wait to take more of our learning outside and to use our fantastic new polytunnels so please ensure that your child has appropriate clothing with them for all weather.

We have started our class novel for this term ‘The Boy at the Back of the Class’ and have made our predictions about the empty chair and what we think is going to happen in the story.

Our topic this term is ‘Make it Work’ and we can’t wait to work as part of a group to take part in lots of STEM challenges that we have come up with!

As part of Scottish Computing Science Week we enjoyed a live online lesson. We learned how to code our own game design and had lots of fun!

We have been learning about patterns and sequences during maths this week. We created our own Fibonacci sequences and explored images of this pattern in nature.

We have had a great start to term 4 and have enjoyed spending lots of time outside in the sun! We have been learning to write a descriptive setting for a story, appealing to the readers senses and including lots of similes and metaphors. We went on a walk to the beach to get some inspiration and had lots of fun.
