Primary 5 have been extremely busy, working hard on our topic-Wish You Were Here…– We are learning about Scotland’s landscapes and how they were formed. So far, we have learned about how rivers and mountains were formed and have used internet research and note taking skills to help us to learn. We have made a model river with tissue paper, which we have clearly labelled. We have created beautiful paintings of these landscapes too.

Our new science topic this term is life on Earth and this week we have been learning why it is important to classify living things.  We looked at lots of pictures of animals and discussed how we could classify these. We looked at the characteristics that could be used to classify dogs if we had to explain this to an alien visiting our planet!

During RME we have been researching famous saints and exploring the stories of how they were given this title. So far we have used drama and art to summarise the main points of these stories. We will be moving on to consider what qualities are important to be considered a good person and consider who would qualify as a modern day saint.

Please keep checking the blog to follow our learning!
