Well we have made it the first big holiday of P5 and how quickly it has come around. We have had a busy week, as always and we are all ready for a break from school.

Read on to hear what we have been up to.

• Maths – we have been working on angles and looking at turns making 90, 180, 270 & 360 degrees and linking these to compass points and directions. We also used Plickers for a lesson to see how our learning is going with our topics from this term.
• Literacy – we were looking at summarising and finding out our reading group’s novel we’ll be working on after the holiday.
• Writing – we were completing our final piece of instructional writing.
• Health & Well Being – we were learning about keeping ourself safe if there was to be a fire in at home/school. Planning escape routes and knowing what to do if we had to escape  from a building on fire. We had some great conversations about this and everyone was really engaged.
• PE – we finished off basketball with some games and then did some fitness in the classroom for our second slot as we let P6 have the hall to practice their assembly.
• Mary Queen of Scots – we finished off our art and got this up on the walls for parents evening. We used HP Reveal to show us saying what we have learned so far about her. We also used our investigation skills to try and solve the murder of Lord Darnley, Mary’s second husband.
• We all got to see a preview of P6 class assembly on Thursday afternoon and gave them feedback. It was really good – well done to everyone in P6!

Here are some pictures from our week.

We are off school now until Tuesday 22nd October. Have a nice time off school and keep safe during the holidays.

See you all on Tue 22nd 8:55am!
