Wow, what a week!!!!

I would just like to take this opportunity to thank all of the musicians from both primary five classes who worked extremely hard over the past few weeks to make Thursday’s performance such a great success. I am very proud of each and every one of you!!!!

New Lanark

We had a fantastic time on our trip to New Lanark. We especially enjoyed the Annie McLeod ride and the Victorian classroom. Here are some of our pictures……

LATC

We have decided that toys in the present day are much more fun than in the Victorian times although we did have great fun playing with them in class!

Maths

It’s been fun this week as we have been going over everything we have learned about money before we get to the hard stuff! We really enjoy this as it reminds us of just how much we already know and gives us a real shot of confidence. We are now moving on to a variety of tasks from making a given amount in as many ways as we can and problem solving using money up to £20.

HWB

Mrs Duncan makes P.E. really fun and we weren’t really aware just how much exercise we can get through learning dance moves. We have been learning the moves to Bruno Mars song Uptown Funk. We broke the dance moves down and learned the individual moves then put them into a sequence. Eventually we were able to perform along with the music!!

Writing/Latc

This week we learned about writing and sending an e-mail. We wanted to send an e-mail to the staff at New Lanark to thank them for our fantastic visit. We discussed as a class what information the e-mail should have then we talked about the composition of the e-mail. We were delighted when the staff at New Lanark replied to us thanking us for our kind comments.

Unfortunately Mrs Duncans time with us has come to an end. We have really enjoyed having her with us. Myself and  the boys and girls in P5d will miss her! We have invited Mrs Duncan to visit us in the near future so we hope to see her soon.

Have a great weekend!
