An Exciting Week

Primary Five have had an exciting week.

  • They have been learning all about Robert Burns and have even written an alternative ending to Tam O’ Shanter! On Burns Day all classes performed a Scottish song. The concert was a huge hit!
  • All pupils are now working towards their Level One Club Golf. Everyone has been having great fun doing so.
  • In science, they have been learning about planets where each pupil has completed research on a chosen planet. The children even got to design their own space rover!

Primary Five Project

Primary Five are having fun studying the rainforest. They are learning where rainforest exist. They are also learning  about the animals that live in this environment, the layers of the forest and the indigenous people there. Read this wonderful description of the Amazon rainforest written by a primary five pupil.

Enormous trees towering up to the sky, further than I can see. Swinging monkeys gliding from branch to branch. Intense delightful flowers everywhere. Marvellous monkeys howling ferociously are so loud I can’t hear myself think!

Winter activities in the event of school closures!

Hello boys and girls! On this page you will find a list of activities you could do in the event that the school is closed for severe weather conditions! Have fun with these activities and let me know which tasks you choose!

Practise your number sequences and number bonds. Can you count up in 2s, 5s, and 10s – make a number sequence with missing numbers for someone to complete!

Make a visit to the library and take out an interesting book that you can recommend to a friend once you have finished it.

Write a book review for your favourite book, if you need help with this just search for ‘book reports’ on the internet and you will find lots of useful sites.

Invent a fun way to practice your spelling – be prepared to tell the class!

Experiment time! Why not create an experiment about your senses. Choose a range of objects, blindfold a friend or relative and investigate whether they can work out the objects just by using their sense of touch and smell. Got another idea for an experiment?! Write it down and bring it into school!

Pretend you are writing a letter to the prime minister asking him to build a new building in Edinburgh – what’s the purpose of the new building? What does it look like? Remember to use cursive handwriting (if you can) he is the prime minister after all!

Design your own building – use lego or draw one!
