Good afternoon dear Readers,

Welcome to P5A’s first blog of 2024.

We hope you are all well and wish you all a very good year.

This week, the highlights were:

• Our Big Spelling Assessment.
• Going to Deans Community High School for our swimming lesson.
• Continue practising our Human Football game.
• Beginning to work on God’s loving plan with the story of Creation, that we have read, discussed and illustrated in groups.
• The visit of the RRS team from Unicef to see how well we know the Rights of the Child in our school.
• Starting to learn about decimal numbers, their value in a number and how to order them in a number line. We have also started to learn how to turn decimal numbers into fractions.
• Also regarding the Rights of the child, we have listened to the beautiful and moving speech ‘I have a dream’ from Martin Luther King. All the children were very interested to learn more so we have studied his biography and became big admirers of his achievements. The children were so moved by what they have learned that they have written their own ‘I have a dream’ speeches, which some of them have asked to say to the class. They were beautiful!🥰
• We have also learned many things about the Scots language, its origins, where it is spoken and why is it not spoken everywhere in Scotland. At the end we have finished by writing our own sentences including the Scots words that we have learned and it was very funny reading them!

Finally, we would like to congratulate our 1st Hot Chocolate of 2024, Miss Baibua and our Hot Chocolate of this week, Miss Hannah! Super well done for both! Keep working hard!🥇🥇🏆🏆👏👏

That is all for now, we say goodbye wishing all of you a lovely weekend and a good week ahead.

P5A and Mrs Valente😊😘
