It was great to come back from the Easter Holiday on Monday. This will be a very busy but hopefully fun term in Primary 5. This week we investigated two childrens rights. Article 6-Every child has the right to life. Governments must do all they can to ensure that children survive and develop to their full potential. Also Article 24- Every child has the right to the best possible health. Governments must provide good quality health care, clean water, nutritious food, and a clean environment and education on health and well-being so that children can stay healthy. Richer countries must help poorer countries achieve this. Both of these rights are linked directly to Earth Day and everyone taking care of our planet to benefit everyone.
In science we will be investigating the human body. Starting with learning about the human skeleton which protects organs and helps us move. 
In Math pupils will be working on different methods of multiplication for larger number. On Monday and Tuesday They started to learn about the Grid Method.
On Wednesday afternoon performed their group compositions of rhythm patterns to the rest of the class.
We had a fantastic trip to John Muir Country Park in Dunbar on Thursday. As you can see from the photographs your children took the weather was great, very sunny, not too hot, not too windy. When we arrived the first thing we saw were a herd of llamas. Then we walked along a path, through the woods and down onto the shore line. The children were able to run around in the space, explore and do the type of things John Muir did as a child. We then walked along the shore into another part of the woods and followed the trail until we arrived at a wonderful play park. The children sang all the way back to the school on the bus.
