What a fabulous week we have had in Primary 5 this week. The pupils have been working so hard learning about length and distance in maths. Lots of measuring and thinking about how we really do need to know this maths in real life. Most pupils were able to explain how their parents use measuring skills in their jobs. It is so important to make the link between what we are learning and why.
The pupils were truly heroes during the bleep test this week. It started off a bit chilly but we ended up running in the rain. All the pupils were so determined that they wanted to run regardless of the weather. Some amazing scores were posted.
We ended the week with some spooky looking pupils. We were able to use Teams to share our Halloween jokes with P4, P6 and P7 – some big groans there but a few giggles too.
Labib – I enjoyed everything this week, especially the maths because I like measuring. I also liked the PE and the Smart Start on Tuesday when we had to see if we could find lots of words from some random letters.
Luke – I enjoyed Mandarin and I enjoyed dressing up for Halloween.
Freya – I liked the maths because it was challenging in some parts and sometimes I like to think about it.
Leo – I liked being allowed to dress up on Friday. My sister has a really cool costume.
Finn – I liked how when we were on Teams and we got to say our jokes to the other classes.
William – I liked colouring in the pumpkin pictures and I liked playing hockey in PE on Monday.
Luke – I enjoyed the Friday CLIC maths because I think I’m going to move up this week.
Jarrad – I like the Project Code X book I am reading this week. It is good how the characters have gadgets and can do different things. I like the French and saying the numbers. Neuf is my favourite. It is nine.
Anna – I like doing French with Madame Moore. I learned how to say I have a sister and how to pronounce it properly. You say “J’ai une soeur.”
Emma – I enjoyed the Mandarin lessons. I learned to say hi. It is ni hao.
