This week saw P5 take part in some interesting Maths challenges to celebrate Maths week. This included using Blether Stations to help with Problem Solving, A Murder Mystery Challenge and some SumDog as well. Some great communication and explaining of strategies from the children!

Class readers were handed out this week and the children were very excited to start their reading, using E.R.I.C time to catch up with their new novels.

The new Homework was issued on Monday too. Lots of different activities for the children to do and feedback to the class on 28th September.

We have also been discussing what makes a good learner and how the class can become better learners, including strategies that they can use in class. Today we changed our classroom around and have started to use Talk Partners to help the children share their learning with a focused partner each week. Partners and seats will change weekly which creates a more positive learning environment and helps P5 become the best TEAM that they can be!

Primary 5 have also continued with Handball this week and will have a Festival on Tuesday 9th October at Inveralmond CHS with other classes within our cluster. Please pop the date in your diary and I will ensure permission forms and EE2’s are sent out next week.

Final reminder that all forms need to be returned for Lowport as soon as possible so please check their bags, just incase!

Have a lovely weekend…hopefully the sun may shine!
