Hello again from everyone here in P5/4. It has been another very busy week here in class! This week we have:

* We had a HUGE spelling test!

* We made symmetrical butterflies as well as faces, cats, castles, rockets, hot air balloons, stars and we also made a large symmetrical face on the Smart Board!

* Some of us ran and some of us walked/jogged a full mile around the playground! Well done to everyone – a great effort!

* We did some Zumba in the class because it was raining outside.

* We learned more about Knot Gardens and the competition to design a new one for Blackburn House.

*We discussed our favourite breakfast cereals for a piece of written work we will be doing next week.

* Tried to answer 60 maths questions in 5 minutes – it was tough!

Please take a look below at our new class photograph!!

See you all again next week!

Blog entry composed by everyone in P5/4!

We want to wish you all a very warm welcome to our first blog post of the new session. This promises to be another exciting year and we are really looking forward to it! This week we have:

* Discussed our ideas for our class charter

* Made some fun masks in art

*Had a go at some tricky spelling

*Worked hard some “Superhero” writing

Keep an eye on our blog each week for all the latest information and photos from Primary 5/4! Until then, have a lovely weekend. 😉

Welcome to our latest blog entry. This week we have:

* Continued work on proper and common nouns.

* Been practicing our problem solving skills by organising data into a table to help us work out the correct answers.

* Competed in sports afternoon on Tuesday and had a great time all working together in our teams! Congratulations to the winners of the individual class race, boy’s race and girl’s race (details below). Everyone in class did so well and should be proud of their efforts!

Class Race:

1st – Ellie Chapman   2nd – Brennan Manclark       3rd – Weston Watt

Girl’s Race:

1st – Neve Murphy   2nd – Aimee Clifton     3rd – Lisa Taylor

Boy’s Race:

1st – Brennan Manclark     2nd – Weston Watt    3rd – Logan Cargill

Finally this week, we started our Healthy Tuck Shop on Monday and the children worked incredibly hard to get the tasty products out to their customers. The class have managed to sell over £125 worth of goods and deserve a huge amount of credit for their hard work. The final profit will be posted once we have worked it out! I think we may see a few of our children appearing on “The Apprentice” in the future with business skills like these! Well done everyone!
