We took part in class presentations this week. There were a few nerves but I was absolutely blown away by the information that was shared, the confidence our P5s had and their natural ability to engage an audience. I think there are some future leaders among us! Well done P5!
It has been a busy week in P5. We enjoyed taking part in another drumming workshop where we were introduced to some new percussion instruments. We took part in a whole school reading river which was a bit of a novelty. I’m not sure it was high quality reading but we all thought it was a huge amount of fun!
Next week we will continue to learn about our role as Pilgrims of Hope. Have a great weekend.
P5 had a visit this week from Resilient Rhythms. It was fascinating to learn about the origins of a new musical instrument, and have a go at it. We are looking forward to sharing what we have learned in the coming weeks.
We have been continuing our learning about Mary Queen of Scots and enjoyed finding out some interesting facts about Edinburgh at that time. We are all very grateful for modern plumbing! We created images of cramped, dilapidated buildings and used ink and quills to give them an old worldly feel. Have a good weekend.
It has been a busy first week back in P5. We have attended our first committee of the school year where we have the opportunity to share our views and opinions about our experiences at St Mary’s.
We completed a writing assessment on information reports. Look at that concentration!
We attended our first upper school Halloween party. It was enjoyed by all. There were some cracking dance moves on display! I apologise for the picture quality being poor.
P5 have enjoyed our mini topic on oceans of the world and the coral reef habitat. We concluded it by creating a model of a submarine that could dive to the coral reefs, collect samples, provide visuals and provide communication to the surface. The results were fantastic. Happy September weekend!
🎉 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! 🚍✏️📚📘

This week in gardening 🧑🌾 club we were working on the new sensory garden that everyone in the school is helping to create. The first stage is digging out the soil. We had to safely use the shovels to dig out the turf and put it in the wheel barrow.
