P5 Weekly Round Up

This week in P5 we were introduced to our new reading groups and began exploring the reciprocal reading skills that will help us become more confident readers.

In numeracy, we worked on place value, comparing and ordering numbers, and creating number patterns.

In science, we linked the water cycle to real life, thinking about how it impacts our homes, crops growing and the wider world.

In Spanish, we learned how to respond to ¿Cómo estás? with phrases like Estoy bien.

We revised our H&WB indicators this week and completed some group work on how we see the indicators in school.

We also enjoyed going outdoors with Ms. Nelson to take part in some fun challenges and work on our charter.

In art, we explored how to describe ourselves using pictures rather than words – a very creative task!

We finished off our door display and class charter that we worked on together

Stay tuned to see what we get up to next week.

Rannoch Class

In class, we worked on joining in with group times, taking turns at the teaching table, and sharing learning with adults and friends. We also practised important routines like snack and lunchtime, helping us to build independence.

It has been a busy and positive week, full of opportunities to learn, play and grow together!

Splashes of learning in P5!

We have had another busy and exciting week in Primary 5! The children continued to work on our class door display and made great progress creating our class charter, helping us think about the kind of classroom we want to learn in together.

This week we were also introduced to Spanish and enjoyed learning some basic greetings to use with one another. In Health and Wellbeing, we spent time talking about the important people we can go to for help both inside and outside of school.

In Science, the class explored the water cycle, learning all about precipitation, condensation and evaporation, and linking these ideas to real-life examples. The children showed fantastic curiosity and made great connections with their prior learning.

It’s been another fantastic week of learning and we are looking forward to what next week will bring!


 

Splashes of learning in P5!

P5 have had a brilliant second week back at school! We’ve been busy learning some Spanish and practising basic greetings – ¡Hola! In literacy, the children were introduced to new reciprocal reading skills, helping them to work together and share ideas when reading. In science, we explored the water cycle, learning about evaporation, condensation and precipitation, and the children really enjoyed linking this to what they see in the weather around them. We also continued our creative work on our classroom door display and class charter, making sure our room reflects the values and ideas that are important to us as a class.

 

 

Another busy week in Rannoch class

This week the children have been very busy learning and having fun! They loved exploring the sensory room with its lights, sounds, and textures, and had lots of active play on the trim trail. In class, we have been practising coming to the teaching table for learning and joining in with our morning group times. Snack and lunch have also been lovely opportunities to share, make choices, and build independence. We are especially proud that some children are now starting to use their visuals really well to show what they want — a big step forward in their communication. 😀

 

Stay tuned to see what we get up to next week! 😌

 

 

First week in P5 complete👍✔️

🎉 Welcome Back, Everyone! 🎉

A new school year means new adventures, new friends, and exciting things to learn! Over the next few weeks, we’ll be getting into our classroom routines so we know just what to do each day. We created our new door design with Mrs. Saunders, and went over our class/school values, that we will uphold this year. Both, Mrs Saunders and Ms. Fox can’t wait to laugh, learn, and make this our best year in St. Mary’s yet! 🚍✏️📚📘

First week back in Rannoch

Welcome Back! 📚✏️🚍📘

We’re excited to begin a new school year together! As we settle in, we’ll be building our classroom routines so that everyone knows what to expect and feels confident each day. A special welcome to our new student Jack —you’re joining a caring, hardworking class, and we can’t wait to learn and grow alongside you. Let’s make this year one filled with curiosity, kindness, and success!

 

 

 

Another fun filled day for P6R

This morning we kicked off our day with training to become buddies for the new Primary One children starting after the summer holidays. They’re learning how to be kind, responsible and supportive, helping our youngest pupils feel like they belong and feel safe in both of our schools. We’re proud of their enthusiasm and know they’ll make great role models.

Our first activity outside was Handball – another fabulous day made it so enjoyable as it wasn’t too hot out! We learnt new skills and played some games. Our friends from Ness class joined us also!

Before lunch we ran in our very own version of The London Marathon with our pals in P1 – great effort by all.

After lunch we completed some health week inspired posters and played team games with Ms. Lindsay and ended our day with a P.E. party!

Last day of health week tomorrow! 🙂
