P5A Scottish Wars of Independence

This week, P5B started their new topic “The Scottish Wars of Independence”. The class created a timeline using significant events from the past such as the invention of the television and world war 1. We a great discussion about the events that happened before and after the Scottish wars of independence took place
P5A Numeracy challenge
P5A worked very well in teams today when completing a RICH task – Sticky triangles!
They were shown three lolly sticks made into a triangle. The challenge – Can you continue this pattern of triangles and begin to predict how many sticks are used for each new ‘layer’?
They used lolly sticks to help find a solution and then discovered a pattern to predict how many triangles and how many sticks would be in future rows. Fabulous!🤩 Can you figure it out too?
P5A Stem Challenge
P5 showed great skills and team work when completing their STEM challenge – To build a free standing Christmas tree using only paper and tape.
Our finished trees were all very different 🤩🎄
We had a winner for the tallest tree and also the tree that looked most like a Christmas tree.
Primary 5A Science
P5A enjoyed carrying out experiments to find out which substances dissolved in water-they were surprised by some! They were learning to use the words soluble, insoluble, solute, solvent, solution and concentration correctly.
P5A Enterprise
Another very successful afternoon in P5A yesterday with our last 2 ‘companies’ creating their products for the Christmas Fayre!
P5A Enterprise
Our P5A enterprise groups have been working so hard planning, budgeting, advertising and producing their own products to sell on their stall at the Christmas Fayre. They showed great team work, creativity and independence when three of our ‘companies’ put together their final products last week. Other companies will complete their products this week.
They are looking fantastic – you’ll need to be quick to snap up a bargain!
