In Primary 5 we have had a very busy week. In PE we have been practising our dribbling and shooting skills so that we can use these in games of basketball.

We have also been finding out more about the story of the Lorax. We have used our literacy skills to write a diary entry from the point of view of the little boy in the story. As well as this we looked at limericks in the story and even wrote some of our own.

This week we have started to get organised for the Christmas Fayre. We have written invitations, made our candy cane reindeer and created our felt Christmas stockings.

Yesterday we had a visit from Nanda. She came to talk to us about her favourite book. She told us that it was the Bible and also explained why. One of the reasons was that it made her feel safe and happy when she read it.

We have also been lucky enough to find out a little bit more about WW2 this week. Aiden brought in some family medals and lots of information and original artifacts to share with the class. We thought that it was amazing that the items were so old yet in such good condition.
