Primary 5 highlights of the week…

Another busy week in P5!

This week we held our debate with our guest audience from Primary 6. I was delighted at the confidence shown by the children as they delivered their points with such conviction, using lots of persuasive language to sway the audience. Hayley B felt “that it was a really good experience as you got to practice how MP’s may speak when delivering their talks”. Callan thought that “it was really helpful for teamwork, and I liked that the parents got to be involved as well with the questionnaire.”

We also had some very sporty children compete in the West Lothian Schools Triathalon. They went off feeling a little bit apprehensive but they returned with the biggest smiles and an impressive medal around their necks! Well done to Charlie, Callan, Zoe, Katy, Logan F, Jamie, Cade and Calum W.

To finish off the week the children had some Royal Wedding based maths problem solving. Helping Megan and Harry solve some tricky issues including organsing wedding guest seating, the amount of petals in the flower girls baskets and calculating the total number of presents left for the happy couple on each table…I think the Royal Couple should have employed P5 to solve their wedding issues, as they were awesome problem solvers!!

Enjoy the holiday weekend everyone, see you on Tuesday!
