As part of our topic we have been learning about ancient Egyptian gods and goddesses. We created a fact file about our chosen god or goddess. We had to write a fact about our god or goddess and draw a detailed picture of them. Here are some of our factfiles. How many Egyptian gods or goddesses do you know?

 

Here is what P6 have been learning about this week, courtesy of Katie C, Lauren and another helper:

• We made powerpoints about two battles: The Battle of Prestonpans and the Battle of Culloden. We were showing them to the class.
• For gym this week we did hockey and basketball. In hockey we were dribbling and push passing the ball to our partner. In basketball we practised street basketball, line ball and shooting. Some people find street basketball a bit challenging.
• For maths, we have been adding decimals mentally.
• For language, we have been learning to read and write instructions. We wrote our own instructions on how to make a Jacobite targe (shield). You can have a look at our Jacobite targes in the picture below.

Next week P6 are going on a class trip to learn more about the Jacobites. Please remember to bring warm, waterproof clothing, wellies or waterproof walking boots and a packed lunch.

Let’s have a look at what Primary 5 have enjoyed learning about this week…

Charlie: ‘I enjoyed learning how to round to the nearest 100.’

Cerys: ‘I enjoyed subtracting using hundreds numbers and stealing.’

Presley: ‘I enjoyed trying to solve the murder mystery of who murdered Mary, Queen of Scots’ husband.’

Lucas: ‘I enjoyed taking away using chimney sums.’

Lauren: ‘I enjoyed mixing colours to paint my portrait of Mary, Queen of Scots.’

Boe: ‘I enjoyed discussing the murder mystery with my group and using evidence to solve it.’

Lachlan: ‘I enjoyed getting 40/40 two weeks in a row for Big Maths.’

James: ‘I enjoyed building my model market stall.’

Until next time…

This week, Primary 5 finished their portraits of Mary, Queen of Scots.

We had been learning about the different ways that we could apply paint (dabbing, scratching, swirling brush strokes) and how to create highlights/shadows. We were trying to create the most detailed pictures we could. What do you think? Which Mary is most marvellous?

Until next time…
