P5’s First Blog Post of the Session

Here is our reflection of our first few weeks back at school. The time has whizzed by and we have learned a lot.

Rohan – I like when we are doing our maths. When we were learning counting in 25s and learning about numbers in the thousands.

Sebastian – I liked doing the Optical Art because it was interesting and colourful.

Anna – I liked doing the PE outside on the field and on the playground. It is a bit more fun outside. I also liked listening to How to Train Your Dragon.

Olly – This week I enjoyed the writing because I thought it was imaginary and I liked reading about the first kid to go to the moon.

Freya – I like rounding to the nearest thousand.  I got used to rounding to the nearest 10 and 100 first then it was easy to round to the nearest 1000.

Luke N – I enjoyed doing Op Art because it was really cool and made my eyes feel weird.

Kayden – I enjoyed PE outside because since Lockdown started I haven’t been out or playing football that much.

Jarrad – I like the Optical Art because it is cool and I am interested in Art. I like it when Hiccup has to be brave in How to Train Your Dragon because it is exciting.

Euan – I like How to Train Your Dragon because it is as cool as seeing a snake on the way back from the hotel in  Florida. I enjoyed learning about Similes!

Darcy – I really like counting in 25s. It was fun.

Harris – I liked when we went outside to the pagoda to listen to How to Train Your Dragon. It was funny when Toothless put a dead rat inside Stoick the Vast’s bed.

William – I like How to Train Your Dragon because Hiccup is always funny but he is brave too and he nearly dies sometimes.

Labib – I like being at this school. I was very happy when I went home. I like rounding to 10, 100 and 1000. I am quite good at it now. I like trying to make lots of words in the smart start. You can also learn new words. I enjoyed the one where we used Old Wrinkly letters.

Kaitlyn – I liked doing the Optical Art and it was good giving feedback to each other about what we liked and disliked.

Sophie – I like listening to How to Train Your Dragon.

Emma M – I liked learning about Resilience today in assembly. I found out that baby turtles have an instinct to head for the water.

Luke C – I like learning about there, their and they’re because now I understand it more. I loved How to Train Your Dragon because Toothless is puny but he gets stronger as he does things if you tell him a joke.

Leo – I like the CLIC maths every Friday because it is challenging and it gets my brain focussed.

Finn – I like How to Train Your Dragon because it is very peculiar because it is unusual as Toothless only does things because he likes a joke. It is fun to hear it.

Blake – I like reading the How to Train Your Dragon book. It is getting better every time. I like trying to use the Words of the Day.

Teme – I liked counting in 25s and How to Train Your Dragon because it is very good.

Angus – I like How to Train Your Dragon when Hiccup finally trains Toothless by telling him a joke. The joke was only a bit funny.

Rhys – I liked science with Mr Keast because we were learning about famous scientists. I learned about Albert Einstein.

P5 Home Learning for September

The September home learning for Primary 5 will be available on Teams on the HOME LEARNING channel from Thursday 10th September. Apologies for the delay in getting this sorted.

All pupils know their login details. We have gone over the grid in class so they should also be aware of what they need to do.

P5 PE

Our PE days will be Monday and Thursday.

As  PE is outdoors at the moment, all children are asked to wear their outdoor kits to school on these days.

Outdoor PE kits should consist of joggers/tracksuit bottoms/leggings and school polo/white top. Please also send children with a jumper/jacket that they can wear outside if necessary. Children should wear outdoor shoes ( trainers) suitable for PE on these days.

Due to current circumstances children are unable to use school water fountains, so we ask that they bring extra water with them on these days.

Welcome back Primary 5!

I am so excited to be your teacher again in Primary 5 and I can’t wait to hear how you all are. Please don’t worry about all the changes you might have heard about because we will learn them all together. Until we get our class library organised, please bring a book to read when you come to school.
Here are some activities for you to do at home on Wednesday. You should bring these to school when you come on Thursday.
Please do your assignments whatever way suits you best. If you are able to print the documents, that’s fine, if not you can just write your answers on any sheet of paper.
  1. Complete the My Top Five Worries sheet – please note there are 2 activities to complete which are on pages 2 and 3 of the document.
  2. Do the Sumdog 6,7 and 9 times challenge – it will be available on Wednesday from 8:45am until 8pm.
  3. Create a colourful rainbow picture to help decorate the class. It should be A4 in size and your design can be made out of whatever you want to use.
  4. If you haven’t already done so, please complete the 2 Lies and a Truth sheet – some of you might have already done this after you got the meet the teacher letter back at the end of term. I have also attached my statements in case you can’t find them. You can have a think about what my answers will be.

Last week of P4!

Hello everyone, I hope you are all well and looking forward to the last week of term. We are still focussing on Health Week and the activities on the grid that was issued last week. Well done to all who submitted Sports Day results – Primary 4 were very well represented.

I have also provided a learning grid with some other activities as usual. The last batch of documents I will add this week are optional activities that some of you might like to do during the holidays. Remember that all activities from during Lockdown are also still available here on the blog or on Teams, so you can catch up if you are able.

P4 Reflection

It was great to talk to so many of you on our Teams Meet today. It is the best part of my week when I get to talk to you all.

Once again you have all been very very busy. I am so impressed by how much maths you are getting through. Well done! Your posters about how to store medicine safely are super and full of good advice. The creativity shown in your designs inspired by African patterns is amazing. This is one very proud teacher here.

Here are a few of your comments from the week:

Freya – I liked spelling.  I just like practising it over and over again so you don’t have to think about it any more.

Lakshya – I enjoyed doing flashback cards, comparing fractions and the fact families (multiplication and division).

Olly – I enjoyed doing adding, multiplying and division. I also liked doing Epic and medicine poster.

Sophie – I enjoyed comparing fractions because it was fun 😁

I hope you all have a great weekend and build up all your energy so that you are ready for our Health Fortnight and Sports Day. Go P4!
