This week, P5 put on their scientist caps and created icebergs in line with our Titanic topic and Sinking and Floating in science. First we filled up sandwich bags with water and decorated these with food colouring and glitter. Next, we froze the icebergs for 48 hours. When the icebergs were frozen, we placed them in water and watched what happened. All icebergs floated, however only the tips of these floated above the surface. This helped us to understand that although icebergs may seem tiny on top, the majority of the ice is hidden under water! Pictures to follow.

P5 have had a busy week this week! On Monday we collaboratively presented information about the class system on the Titanic to the class.

On Wednesday we had a very special visitor, Miss Hunter, who came and taught us how to write super newspaper articles!

On Thursday it was World Book Day, we had an open afternoon and invited parents in to share their favourite childhood stories with us. We also read ‘The Lorax’ by Dr Seuss and designed amazing potatoes resembling this character.

As it was Pancake Day this week, P5 participated in a lesson about Shrove Tuesday and its meaning. We even decorated some yummy pancakes! 🙂

This week, pupils in P5 have been learning about Fair Trade in line with Fair Trade Fortnight and have written super poems relating to this.

This week, learners in P5 have been working very hard to create and decorate cabins used by first, second or third class passengers on board the Titanic.

This week P5 have been learning about how the Titanic was built and have been working hard to replicate a 2D visual display of this.

Learners had a super time on Thursday and Friday finishing up their social dancing block in PE with the P4’s, just in times for Burns Day! 🙂

Today P5 have been very busy! Learners completed a superb music showcase in the morning with lots of fabulous singing! 🙂 In the afternoon, we rehearsed for the Scottish assembly and painted beautiful thistles to decorate the hall.

P5 have been very excited about starting their new Titanic topic this week and have been working very hard to collaboratively to create and design timelines ordering the events of the Titanic tragedy.

P5 had an absolutely super week of Christmas activities and had an amazing time performing in the school Christmas show on Monday! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from all of P5! 🙂
