Hello families of P5B!<\/p>\n

We have had a great first week back after the holidays.\u00a0 It has been so lovely getting to know your wonderful children and I hope they have enjoyed their first week back to school as much as I have!\u00a0 Each week one of the tables (there are 3) will share their highlights of the week.\u00a0 Here are our highlights this week as recorded by the Yellow table:<\/p>\n

Daniel said the best part of his week was playing \u2018Clap, Snap\u2019.\u00a0 The children followed the instructions: \u2018clap, snap, head, shoulders\u2019 etc and then when the teacher said \u201ccone\u201d, they had to try and grab the cone that was in between them and their partner.\u00a0 Whoever grabbed it first, won!<\/p>\n

Alex \u00a0enjoyed \u2018Choosing our own Learning Time\u2019 and made an impressive 3D construct with construction straws.\u00a0 Super teamwork guys!<\/p>\n

Nathan\u2019s highlight was playing Dodgeball with Mrs Lafferty.\u00a0 Mrs Lafferty will have the children for PE on Fridays and I will have them on Wednesdays.<\/p>\n

Ellie-May enjoyed the game were the children went into pairs and one person drew on their partner\u2019s back, while the other person drew what they felt.\u00a0 The pictures were then compared.\u00a0\u00a0 Afterwards, they moved on to writing words in the same way. \u00a0It was definitely a class favourite.<\/p>\n

Vinayakarthik liked a game were the children had to give one another clues of a zoo animal they were thinking of and the class had to guess.\u00a0 There were some very cryptic clues in this game!<\/p>\n

Aayush loved playing with the marble run.\u00a0 He and his friend made some complex runs!\u00a0 Impressive guys!<\/p>\n

Michael\u2019s favourite activity was a game involving skittles.\u00a0 Each child chose a skittle and then had to stand up when their colour was called and answer a question.\u00a0 Michael\u2019s colour was asked, \u201cWould you rather be a tiny horse or an enormous chicken?\u201d<\/p>\n

Moeez\u00a0 enjoyed a maths lesson this week were the children had to make as many number combinations as they could, first from 3 digit numbers and then 4 digit numbers.\u00a0 They discovered that 6 combinations could be made each time using each digit at the start.\u00a0 They also learned from Ksawery, the most effective strategy for recording these combinations.\u00a0 Thank you Ksawery!<\/p>\n

Ksawery loved music with Mrs Morrison, were the children were learning about bagpipes and found out that the world championship for bagpipes happens each year in Glasgow and some of SJO\u2019s own past pupils are world champions!!!<\/p>\n

My highlight has been hard to pick this week.\u00a0 I think it has to be the RE lesson when we recapped on the Bible stories the children could recall from previous learning.\u00a0 We talked about the importance of thinking of the meaning of the words of prayers we say.\u00a0 The children examined the words of the Hail Mary prayer.\u00a0 We had some interesting discussion about the meaning of, \u201c\u2026and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meet the Teacher<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, it is Meet the Teacher day!\u00a0 I look forward to welcoming you in to our classroom if you are free to attend.\u00a0 Any information given out that afternoon will be sent home for those unable to attend.<\/p>\n

Request<\/p>\n

It would be super if the children could bring in recyclable materials from home now and again to keep our recyclables box topped up, as the children have enjoyed making things from these during \u2018Choosing our own Learning Time\u2019.\u00a0 Also, we have a craft table that has bits and bobs on in for imaginative art creations.\u00a0 Any donations throughout the year to keep this topped up would also be appreciated.\u00a0 Some examples could be: feathers, pipe cleaners, sparkles, bubble wrap, ribbon etc.<\/p>\n

Homework<\/p>\n

Homework will not<\/strong> be given out for the first couple of weeks and will then be issued via Teams.\u00a0 If you are having any difficulty logging on to Teams or accessing Teams, please let our office staff know.<\/p>\n

Our blog will be updated over the weekend, so please keep an eye out for it and I hope you enjoy reading about some of the learning experiences your child had that week and enjoy looking at and discussing some of the photos!\u00a0 Remember that a quick way to find P5B, is to use the filter on the right hand side of the screen.<\/p>\n

I hope you have a great weekend!
\nMrs Brown<\/p>\n
