* Learned how to play corner football during P.E. with Mr Richards

* Started on our new topic of Britain and shared what we know about it already.

* Had some “spooky” fun at the Halloween discos on Thursday night!

* Made Halloween “Bags of Bones” and you can see our photos below!

Until next week – have a great weekend!

This week we have:

* Practiced our ball skills including passing and dribbling

* Been learning the song “Frere Jacques” on the Ocarina. We sat outside and practiced because the weather was lovely!

* Created our Community Action Blackburn Competition Posters

* Worked on our comprehension skills and are getting more confident reading unfamiliar passages and finding the correct answers.

* Started our National Youth Choir of Scotland (NYCOS) singing sessions with Mr Gregory and this will happen every Friday right up until Christmas.

See you all again next week.

A shorter week this week due to the holiday but no less busy!

This week we took part in “walking week” which saw us venture out from the school and take a closer look at our community. We also enjoyed a series of different Masterclasses around the school based around the theme of endangered animals and biodiversity. Please enjoy some of our photos from our walk and the Panda Masterclass.

* 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!

One week to go! Have a great weekend everybody.
