Welcome back to our new term. Primary 5 have settled in well and are beginning to understand the routines of their new stage. Last week Miss Carrigan joined P5J and will be working with us until after Christmas.
This week we had a visit from an author called David MacPhail. He was very inspiring and helped us with some tips for writing.
This week we have started our new Health topic called Bad Times Don’t Last. We will be learning about resilience and how to cope when things go wrong. We have also started our topic Great Britain and this week we have used an Atlas to look at a map and identified the countries of Great Britain.
This term in reading we are studying a whole class novel called the Spiderwick Chronicles. We will also be given reading books for enjoyment which will be handed out at the end of next week for homework.
In Maths we have been learning to identify different angles.
Homework will begin next Friday. The children will be given Reading, Spelling and Maths. This should be completed and returned by the following Thursday.
Our PE days this term are Monday for outdoor PE and Thursday for indoor PE. This term we are doing playground games outdoor therefore PE kit is optional on this day, however we would be grateful if children were equipped with appropriate shoes and jackets for that day. The children are also taking part in the weekly mile on Friday mornings so appropriate footwear is needed for then too.
Mrs Jamieson, Mrs Davies
