Welcome to our new Primary 5 weekly class blog. We will be updating this every Friday telling you about what we have been doing in class that week. Mrs Rankin knows that we all probably come home and just say school was fine and not actually tell you all what we have been doing! So now each week you can check out our blog and then ask us about the things we have been doing.

Mrs Rankin is our teacher and we will be getting Mrs Zohoorian for a couple of lessons a week. Miss Borthwick and Mrs Mackie have been in our class working and helping us during lessons as well.

Read on to hear what we have been doing since we started last Wednesday.

• Sophie – We have played games in PE.
• Erin G – we have been working on creating identity grids in class to tell people about us.
• Zara – We have been doing some different maths questions to see what we can remember from last year.
• Devin – we have been hearing our new class novel. It’s called Krindlekrax and is really good so far!
• Malin – we met Ms Muir on Wednesday when she was in class for a little while.
• Mya – with Ms Muir we were making triangular mobiles about the Letham Way.
• Rhea – Mrs Rankin has introduced us to Number Talks and will be doing this regularly in class.
• Liam – we were set a challenge by Miss Wallace at our first assembly about creating posters about the perfect teacher and we have made some great posters!
• Jack – we did a maths lesson using Izak9 which was fun.
• Emma – in PE we played hospital tig as a warm-up.
• Emma-Rose – also in PE we played  Hoop-Hop in teams. We enjoyed that.
• Nikola – in PE we were in teams using hula-hoops and bean bags to play noughts and crosses.
• Layla – I have enjoyed maths so far!
• Euan – we were working on some maths word problems.
• Travis – Mrs Zohoorian will be working with us on STEM and RME this year.
• Rose – we have been learning about Christianity with Mrs Zohoorian.

Each week Mrs Rankin will select a Star of the Week who has been showing positive behaviour in our classroom, respcting others and demonstrating the Letham Way. They get the chance to sit at our Star of the Week table with a friend for the next week. Last Friday, Rhea was our Star of the Week and Lauren will be our Star of the Week next week. Well done to both girls!

The school newsletter has been sent out to everyone electronically. If you did not receive a copy, please let the office know to add your phone number/email to the distribution.

Next Wednesday, 4th September, there will be a Meet the Family session from 3.45pm – 4.30pm where you can come into school and meet Mrs Rankin in our classroom.

Have a nice weekend.
