Primary 5 have been lucky to receive weekly input from Mike Brogan for a Jazzamatazz music workshop over this school term. As this finishes next week, we’d like to invite parents/carers to come along and share in the pupils showcasing their learning through a brief concert. This will take place in our upper hall at 11.00am on Wednesday 21st March and siblings are also invited to attend to be part of the audience. Letters with details and a returns slip to follow.

Hope to see you there!

World Book Day has been rescheduled for Thursday 22nd of March.

In Numeracy this week we have been learning about money. We have been doing mental maths where we have to add up lots of different amounts, then work out how much change we would get. Last week we had a Victorian Day in class, and this week we wrote a letter to a Victorian child to tell them about our experience and ask them questions. We have also been learning about important Victorian inventions, and we worked in groups to create our own inventions. We each took on a role – the engineer, designer or the marketing team, and worked together to design an invention. We then presented our ideas to the class and took a vote on who had the best invention. Well done to the Infinity Inventors who won with their idea of an Invisi-car!

Here are some more of our best bits:-

Miles – I really enjoyed playing Benchball in P.E.

Alex and Kiara – We liked Art this week where we were drawing houses.

Mia – I loved violin!

Ranna – The Victorian Day last week was really good, but I got the Dunce hat!

Suvi – I liked writing the letter to the Victorian child telling them about our victorian day.

Joshua – The Victorian Inventions lesson was good fun as we got to work together in a team.

Teighan – I liked doing cosmic yoga and coming up with our own yoga moves.

Jess – Jazzamatazz was really good – we got to improvise and play our own tunes.

Remember – next Thursday is World Book Day – dress up as your favourite book character, or dress down.

Hello! Ola! Bonjour! Konnichiwa!

We have been learning about area this week. Luke B gave a great description of what area is: It’s the space a shape takes up, a 2D shape. We have calculated area by counting squares or using cubes to fit exactly on top of a shape.

We have been learning ‘igh’ and ‘oi’ this week in phonics lessons. Can you see what we used to make some shiny ‘oi’ words?

In our review jotters this week we have written about something we are feeling more confident in. Lots of us said reading, a few said writing and some said maths tasks.  At Circle Time we are developing our listening and talking skills. We are sharing our hobbies and favourite games or activities for keeping fit and active. Well done to Luke B, Sofia, Daisy, Jess, Devyn and Ruaridh for sharing with us this week. We have started to choose a ‘Star of the Week’ too. Congratulations to Michelle who is our first star. We all enjoyed thinking of a compliment to share with you.
