Primary 5 have been learning to measure in millimetres, centimetres and compare the two. We measured our feet and hands to help us do this.

Over this term we will be learning to measure lengths, area, volume and weight.

Well done to everyone in our class for learning their poems, performing in front of everyone, using actions and Scottish accents. The standard was extremely high this year!

We are pleased to announce that Emma Nimmo and Callum Twogood will represent P5 at the Burns Assembly on Friday morning. Callum will recite, ‘My Doggie’ and Emma will recite ‘Street Talk’.

Good luck from P5.

Thank you for all my beautiful Christmas gifts, I was spoiled and feel extremely lucky.

We have an exciting term ahead of us! You can look forward to learning all about the Tudors and Mary Queen of Scots. This was a very interesting time in both the history of Scotland and Great Britain. You could visit Linlithgow Palace, Edinburgh Castle, Loch Leven or the Palace of Holyroodhouse to learn more about this time. There will be a home challenge this term which will include you building a Tudor home or decorating a Tudor room. Start doing some research as the challenge will be on Glow soon. I will check this task every Friday so please bring it to school on this day.

We will begin to work on measure, information handling and shape in numeracy, as well as trying out a fun new resource called Big Maths.

I look forward to reading some of your fantastic writing and hearing you all improve in your reading. We will be doing our literacy circle work as home learning this term and discussing it in class every Monday. Please complete one task a week and bring it to school on a Monday.

P.E. will continue be on a Tuesday and Thursday so please remember your P.E. kit on these days. We will be going outside as often as possible so it would be helpful if you could bring jogging bottoms and a hooded jumper on these days.

On Friday 7 November Primary 5 will be presenting their fantastic assembly. If you are a parent or carer of a child in P5 please come along for a 9.30am start to see all our hard work come together.

We look forward to seeing you.
