This week we have been working on decimals, looking at adding tenths and working with money.
The children had fun using the I-pads to play money games.
We have also been looking at our talking and listening skills. We focussed on our questioning skills using the old fashioned version of ‘Heads Up’. We used post it notes stuck to our foreheads and we had to guess who the person was, using good questioning skills. Only ‘yes’ or ‘no’ answers were allowed.
All children have worked hard in swimming and this week was no exception when they had to wear pyjamas in the pool and then use the trousers as a buoyancy aid.
Mr Grant was in to begin our Computing Science lessons. We discussed experiments and began planning our first experiment.
We had fun in music playing the Ukulele and singing a new song in Gaelic.
We discussed our New Year Resolutions and created our goals for 2018.
We listened to speeches from our three Eco candidates and voted for our class representative.
Amelie became the P5C class rep. Well done Amelie!
I would like to personally thank you all for the wonderful cards and gifts I received at Christmas time. It was very thoughtful and I was overwhelmed by your generosity.
P5C enjoyed our Dr Seuss day on Friday. This was to finish off our Topic. We had lots of fun during our Topic and we looked at the following books by Dr Seuss: The Cat in the Hat; Oh, The Places You’ll Go! and The Lorax. Our Topic covered a diverse range of subjects (Health & Wellbeing; Geography; The Environment; PSD; as well as a huge range of literacy).
Most of us dressed up as Dr Seuss characters and we took part in lots of activities.
We had fun making our Thaumatropes as part of our Disney & Animation Topic. 
We have enjoyed our first week back in
