A super sunny week has been enjoyed…With the good weather returning we have enjoyed time outside and had a fabulous time at the safari park. We saw lions, deer, lemurs, sea lions and many other animals. We also enjoyed our time climbing and sliding on The Fort and played in the pirate’s sand pit too. We returned to school tired but happy after a lovely, lovely, day!
In addition to our literacy and numeracy learning, we have also enjoyed art this week and have learned how to draw a cartoon dinosaur!
We are looking forward to next week!

Primary 5
That was a very quick week in Primary 5!
We had our Monday holiday which is our last day off school until the Summer Holidays in a few weeks.
This week we have been back to our usual routine of Numeracy, Literacy, PE, and IDL subjects as we didn’t have Health Week or Sports Day!
In Numeracy we have finished off our Money topic this week and everyone worked really well getting this completed. In Literacy we started some new books which were really interesting and practiced our c, k, ck, ch words!
Our Assembly has been rescheduled until June 17th and we hope to see lots of you there!
Have a great weekend everyone!

Primary 5’s short week!
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!

Primary 5 the last couple of weeks…
It has been very, very busy in Primary 5 over the last two weeks!!
We have been really busy getting all our Literacy work done – we have been practicing our ‘s, ss, c, ce, se,’ sounds AND our ‘j, g, dge’ sounds. Everyone has been putting in so much effort with their spelling work, very well done Primary 5! We have also started our new writing genre; procedural writing and, through this we have been designing and creating our own Board Games. Some of the ideas have been excellent.
We have finished off our Time topic in Numeracy. We learned the difference between the 12 and 24 hour clock, how to convert duration of time using seconds, minutes, hours, days, months and years. Again, everyone has worked so well on this topic, massive well done!!
We have completed our John Muir award and are awaiting our certificates. We have been spending Wednesday afternoons in the woods completing different challenges such as natural art work, den building, litter picking and discovering different leafs to recognise a variety of trees.
We are visiting Stirling Castle on May 13th and this week were researching, learning and discovering different facts about the castle. We completed a timeline of all the important dates relating to the history of the castle.
Everyone has worked really hard and deserves their holidays. Enjoy and I will see you all on Wednesday!
