On Friday 25th September 2015, Murrayfield Primary School took part in a Wig Walk to end Walking Week. The children went out for a community walk on Wednesday and then wore their wigs around the community on Friday. The children ended their walk near the skatepark where they had a chance to run around and play some games.

The children had a great time and really enjoyed wearing their colurful wigs 🙂

We have been:

• Finding the number of tens and units in numbers to 100 using cubes and money
• Looking at letters to find the common features to make our success criteria
• Using our success criteria to write a number of letters- one for Miss Keay to send to Dubai and the other for our famous person
• Our famous person with the most votes was Her Majesty the Queen! The children listed some questions we would ask her and we wrote her a letter. The children used their best handwriting and writing skills to write to the Queen and we will post these letters on Wednesday when we are going to the Post Office

It’s been a short and quick week.

Due to our reporters being too excited today to report on what they have been learning this week I will just let you see how fabulous we all looked for the Wig Walk today. Even Bonzo wore a wig!

They all agreed they had fun at the masterclasses on Thursday.

It’s been a short week this week but we have crammed loads in.

We finished off our class charter.

This week we have also participated in Walking Week. On Wednesday we walked over 3,ooo steps in the playground. Then we took a walk around the local community and spotted our friends and families houses. Some of us even spotted our own house. We have learned why it is important to walk and how it can be good for us.

On Thursday we had our very first Masterclasses. We really enjoyed learning about Endangered Animals and Biodiversity.

And today we walked our wigs off. Everyone looked super in their wigs and we had great fun.

Primary 5 Class Newsletter

This week we have been very busy.

We have been using resources around the classroom to order, count within and write numbers to 5. We like to use the Playdoh to form our numbers.

On Monday we were learning all about ourselves and our favourite dinners, using pens to draw our favourite meals on to a paper plate. On Tuesday we drew pictures of what we have enjoyed doing in school so far. Some of us drew ourselves with our friends in the dinner hall, using the whiteboard to sort sounds and playing in the playground.

We also had fun learning about the rules of Outdoor PE and played some games in the sunshine, including tig, follow the leader and duck, duck, goose.

We are looking forward to continuing our learning next week.

Keep up the good work – Miss Simpson
