Primary 5 have been really busy this week even although we’ve only been in school for 2 and a half days!

We started our new Numeracy topic which is Money – we had lots of great discussions around this; where we get money from, how we get money, what different money is like, different ways to earn money. Everyone has put lots of effort into this topic so far, massive well done! This weeks Learning Intentions have been focussing on splitting amount of money using decimals. Next week we’ll be moving on to rounding to the nearest amounts.

In Literacy, we were still focussing on our procedural writing and creating our board games – they all look great and I can’t wait to have the chance to play them!

The children introduced me to a new game they have been playing in PE with Mrs McMaster – Castle Tumble! Each team needs to build a castle out of hula-hoops, the pitch is split into 4 sections and it is all about protecting your castle from getting knocked down from the dodgeballs! It was great fun and really fun activity to do before our visit to Stirling Castle on Monday!

Have a great weekend everyone!
