Once again this week has been another busy week for Primary 5. We have had lots of different events including an exciting concert on Tuesday! We were lucky enough to be visited by the girlband 5Angels – what fantastic singers!
Our literacy focus this week has been poetry, and in particular the poems of Grace Nicols. We learned key vocabulary (personification, metaphor, stanza, verse) and talked about how poems make readers feel emotional. We also did a few freeze frames in role – can you guess what we were acting as?
In maths this week we all practised our times tables. Some of us know all the times tables to 10! We need to continue to develop this as next week we will move onto division and then fractions later in the term.
Disaster Island now has a family who are holidaying. They are Darren (the dad), Anna (the daughter/sister), Liam (the son/brother) and Meety the sausage dog. They are visiting Grandpa Joe, who lives on Disaster Island. We have learned about Tsunamis and will be learning about Volcanoes. Here is a photo of our family.
We also took part in the memorial service for Miss Martin. We feel that this was a lovely way to remember her and look forward to seeing her tree grow big and strong.
We are working very hard on our assembly and everyone has created an invitation to take home. If you are a parent/carer of a P5 pupil and have not received an invite please ask your child to check that they have completed this.
We are all looking forward to the Bank Holiday on Monday and we hope that everyone remembers to stay safe.
