Dear Readers,

Welcome to our blog. We hope you are all well and looking forward to the longer weekend.🌳😀

In P5A this has been another very different week of learning and our highlights were as follows:

• On Monday we dedicated most of our time to finishing off our Eco-School models for the Climate Smarter Project. It was great to see the amount of times we had to use our problem solving skills successfully in order to make the models and their various parts!👏👏👏
• On Tuesday, the day was very exciting with the Climate Smarter judges coming to spend the day in our school to see our models, discuss them with us and ask us many questions about our STEM knowledge relating to the models. It was truly nerve-wrecking but also very exciting indeed!😁 The models were amazing and we are all very proud of our work! Unfortunately, only one could be chosen to go to the final at Heriot Watt University on the 22nd of May, and so we congratulate the Climate Coconuts for their brilliant Eco-School Model!🏆 CLIMATE COCONUTS
• Here are the pictures of the other amazing Climate Smarter groups!
• CLIMATE RESOLUTION 
• ECO-FANTASTIC
• ENERGY SAVERS
• PLANET WARRIORS
• Wednesday, the 1st of May was a day to celebrate World workers day and St Joseph’s Day and we have started it by going to Mass and listening to Father Clement talking about how kind, generous and hard-working St. Joseph had been and how important his example was for all of us.
• In Numeracy, we have continued our work on division and the number families with lots of practice.
• Primary 5 A were making beautiful and colourful posters to help themselves and P3s to understand the difference between ‘to’, ‘two’ and ‘too’. These will be given to Mr. Pentland’s P3 class so they can put them up on their walls and remember when to use each one of them.
• May is also known as the month of Mary so, to celebrate May in a beautiful way, we have joined Mary’s Meals and their Pray in May Calendar. Every day we learn about a country which is being helped by this charity and make a Prayer for the children of that country. It’s really lovely to see how easy it is for us to make the prayer on the spot after having learned about the situation of the country and its children!♥♥
• The week ended with the viewing of the legendary ‘Spiderwick Chronicles’ that we had read and studied to learn about the various features of the Narrative. We were all absolutely looking forward to watching it and thought it was amazing! So exciting! Our challenge next week will be to continue the story with our own narratives and Mrs Valente can’t wait to read them all!🥰
• Finally, many congratulations to the 3 Hot Chocolates, Miss Pixie, Mr Logan and Miss Emily!👏👏👏🥇🥇🥇🏆🏆🏆😀😀😀Super well done! We have had three because we didn’t have any over the last three weeks but the children really deserved them this week!
• Our winning table was the Cursed Child for their continued team effort to keep tidy, organised and well-behaved! Well done!👏🏆
• The Planet Warriors won the prize for best Climate Smarter Group due to their Team Work throughout the Project! What a great example for all they have been!👏👏👏👏👏👏😀

That’s all for today, we say goodbye for now wishing all a super happy weekend!😀

P5A and Mrs Valente
