Day 4 of the Clyne Caterpillars and they are growing nicely. Did you know that the first thing a caterpillar eats when it is born is its own eggshell before munching on the leaf of the host plant.

Milly – I have enjoyed doing our project on Unicorns for the Group Talk. Gymnastics has been fun learning our paired sequences. I also really liked our class comprehension about Loch Ness Monster.

This week in P5….
This week we have Ava, Noel and Poppy doing our school blog…
We have enjoyed Choir Practice; preparing for Cluster Choir and Christmas Tree Light switch on.
Poppy – I really like the Rumble workshop showcase and how we have learned all the different African rhythms and songs. This week the class have gotten better at doing the Dashing White Sergeant dance. The phone call with the Scientist was great as I got to ask him a question ” What is the most dangerous part of Antartica?”
Ava – I really thought our writing task was exciting and mysterious as we had the re-write The Tale of the 3 Brothers.
Noel – I enjoyed doing the Number talks tasks this week. Also enjoyed Noggle too.
Thank you Poppy, Ava and Noel!
Have a lovely weekend

Oliver is going to be our Class Blogger for today….
The class got to do some Spanish with Miss Greig, it was fun and the class liked the games. In Maths we have been learning chimney sums doing adding and subtracting with 3 digit numbers. We have also done a Maths Challenge sheet from Rigour maths. Primary 5 have been doing their class eader and also started reading Spiderwick Chronicles and discussing characters and what the features are of an Imaginary story. In PE we have been working on our Badminton skills and Mrs Taylor also let us have a game of Dodgeball using the proper rules. Primary 5 have also been trying to win Line awards and managed to get 4 this week which was 1 more than last week so we are getting better. In Science we were doing CSI investigation and looking at fingerprints.
Thank you Oliver!
This week in Primary 5
The children have had an action packed week with outdoor learning, badminton, Remembrance writing, learning how to present information on graphs, Judo instruction, a walk to visit our local church, drumming workshop, choir practice, finishing with a wonderful assembly led by Mr Balaj from Livingston Village Kirk.
Primary 5 spent some time on Tuesday making Leaf Identification dials then we ventured outside to try them out, gathering lots of data about the leafs we found. The children loved the time outside investigating and comparing leaf patterns, sizes and shapes. We then sorted our data and used it to create bar charts to demonstrate the different types of leafs found.
This week we have also visited Livingston Village Kirk to see the beautiful Poppy Memorial created by the members of our community. It really is a fitting way to remember those who gave their lives, so we could live ours. Our visit inspired some writing to say ‘thankyou’ to the many people ( and animals) who were so brave.
Yesterday we were delighted to welcome Scott from Jidel Judo for some Judo instruction. Scott is a Team GB competitor, so it was amazing for the children to learn from someone who had competed at such a high level! The children listened and followed instructions, and Scott was very complimentary of their enthusiasm to learn.
Finally today we ended our week with a lovely Assembly led by Mr Balaj. He talked about why it is important to remember important events in our lives, but that it is also important to remember and be thankful for the life that we live now, thanks to the sacrifices of others.
Next Friday is our Class Assembly, the children are hoping you will be SPELLBOUND by it…

Camptastic!!
I have spent a lovely few days with my P5’s at Lowport. It really is a privilege to get the opportunity to spend time with the children at camp and see them in a different environment.
On their return we have been writing some personal reflections on our camp experiences and designing our Christmas Cards for Parent Council, so another very busy week.
