The first week of cooking club was a huge success, this was sweet week 😋
We made iced biscuits 🍪 we had to follow the instructions to make sure our biscuits turned out the way we wanted them to.
We used lots of skills, mixing, spreading, measuring and had lots of fun 🤩.
This week in Primary 5 we are having lots of fun and working hard too! Sport-wise we enjoyed a trip to the swimming pool and have been enjoying playing some team-building games in the sports hall.
In literacy we are enjoying our second Roald Dahl novel and will start our descriptive writing next week to describe one of his characters. Pupils have also settled well into their reading and spelling groups. In numeracy we are exploring times tables and counting in 25s and 100s on a number line.

It has been another busy week in P2.
We enjoyed seeing Mrs Keenan again for music and could be heard singing at the top of our voices and marching to the beat from the other end of the corridor!
We continued to explore the health and wellbeing indicators. We are beginning to recognise their importance to our own health and we can link them to some of our Rights.
We have been exploring some more maths vocabulary and can confidently use the phrases less/fewer than and more than. We are beginning to access our Sumdog accounts so that we can play games and have competitions to support our learning in maths.
We enjoyed another assembly with Miss Pritchard and reported back on how we can spread kindness. Congratulations to Kendall who won our first certificate of the school year for impeccable listening and always showing the school values.
We can’t wait to do it all again next week! Have a great weekend!
