It’s been very busy in Primary 5 this week from practicing for our Handball Festival to playing Blookets to assess our learning!
On Monday 2nd of October we have the Handball Festival at West Calder High School. We have all been working really hard in PE, learning skills and strategies to help us. Tyler was a great referee helping Mrs McMaster as he can’t play just now.
We had completed lots of active literacy activities this week when we were doing our spelling – writing on the desks, partner testing, keyboards, magnetic boards, foam letters, scrabble tiles and letter beads. The children responded really well to these activities!
We started our new numeracy topic of addition within 10,000 and everyone has worked so hard on this! We have been using our chimney skill strategies to help us with this and, we’ve played some blookets to practice our addition sums too! Mrs Wotherspoon had never played blooket before so it was lots of fun showing her how to use that game too!
We also completed some Health & Wellbeing work talking about how we feel safe and healthy! Everyone had great ideas and suggestions for this. A big well done for all the most amazing suggestions.
Lastly, we had lots of fun outside with Mrs Hudson-Price creating our own woodland creatures out of clay.
Have a great weekend everyone!! See you next week 🙂
Mrs Wotherspoon
