Primary 5 Weekly New – W/e 30th Sept | Letham Primary School and Nursery Class

Primary 5 have had a very busy week this week with a lot of different things going on in school and class. It was the MacMillan Coffee Morning today so the whole school were getting organised for this and we visited the coffee morning as a class this morning. With different activities going on, some of us got out nails painted, played Beat the Goalie and Dunk the Biscuit.

Read on to hear more about our week.

We had our first Sing Out session with Jen who will be working with our class for the next 12 weeks. She had us warming up our voices and then we sang 2 songs that we will be learning to sing.
We were out with Rob from Kids Gone Wild on Wednesday afternoon where we were looking at Wildlife Tracks. We walked down to the Almond with Mrs Rankin & Mrs Harris and we then looked for any signs of life. We looked in a burrow and saw a nose but we’re not sure who was in there. We saw a few slugs (big and small!) and some other bugs. We were looking out for birds to see what types there are in our area. See some pictures below.
We continued with Mary Queen of Scots and we were working in groups to find out more about the different places Mary lived during her life. We’ll finish these off next week and share with the rest of the class.
We were also finishing off our Mary Queen of Scots artwork – we’re nearly there and are looking forward to seeing them on the classroom walls.
In maths, we were learning about angles and learning about multiplication and division using our times table knowledge.
We were decorating Digestive biscuits on Thursday afternoon for the coffee morning for the pupils to have.
For writing this week, Mrs Rankin showed us what we needed to do for decorating a biscuit and we then had to write the method for doing this, making sure we did not miss out any important steps.
In literacy, we were working on inference so we were looking for clues in passages to try and figure out what the author was meaning.

Our star of the week is Erin D – well done to her for modelling the Letham Way and getting involved in all lessons this week with confidence!
