The little elves of P5 have been designing and creatively decorating beautiful wooden stars to take home for Christmas. We have packaged them up ready for the elves to take home next week. What a crafty bunch I have!
Mrs Taylor and the P5 elves …..ho, ho, ho!

We have began our weekly Lego Challenge sessions yesterday, which are part of different STEM activities that will be taking place during the course of the school year. The children will be focusing on their communication, collaboration and listening skills during these sessions but will allow them to use creativity, problem solving and many other skills for their life-long learning.
The children also self-assessed their work and gave themselves targets for the next session. I can’t wait to see what the next session creates!!
Ask your child to explain what the criteria of the task was, and the skills their group demonstrated to complete the challenge.
Here are some pictures of the groups and their models…
Primary 5 have been very busy this week, enjoying Scottish Book Week!
The focus book has been Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone and children have enjoyed daily read-a-long sessions as well as using Venn Diagrams, drawing maps, designing their own witch or wizard, creating and solving some Voldemort maths problems and becoming reporters for The Daily Prophet!! Pheeeew….and it hasn’t stopped there!
The children have also managed to make their Snowman Soup cups, ready for the LVPS Christmas Fayre. They are looking fantastic and I’m sure they’ll sell like hot cakes (not too hot though as we may melt the snowmen ha ha ha)
Our week will culminate in Character Dress up Day and I can’t wait to see which characters will be entering into P5 on Friday morning.

The children spent time last week working on their skills in numeracy and understanding Money, in preparation for last Friday’s Children In Need Bake Sale. They also looked at advertising and how to best to promote the product they were selling.
Primary 5 did an amazing job of advertising, organising, selling and buying so many of the amazing baked goods that were very kindly donated. Final amount is still to be confirmed but I can tell it was a huge success.
Thank you to everyone who supported Primary 5 in this mini-project, we are very grateful as always.
