P5 News

This week some of our P5’s had a trip to the Cathedral in Edinburgh with Mrs Thomson.  The children found this a very interesting experience as they were given access to areas which they would not normally be allowed to go in the Cathedral.  The children who did not attend this trip were involved in the Travelling Tube performance in the school.  Again this was a very informative, as well as enjoyable, experience as the children participated in a workshop where they created their own music.

This week we also had our Class Mass in St Philip’s small chapel.  The children were impeccably behaved and participated well in all aspects of the Mass.  Our thanks to Father Paul who helped to prepare us for this.  Many members of the Parish commented on how impressed they were with the children.  Everyone earned an extra Dojo point, well done!

We still had that sinking feeling in our writing this week as we continued our theme of “Floating and Sinking” as part of our Wonderful Water topic.  We studied the sinking of the Titanic, learning facts and timelines.  We then used this to create a newspaper report about the incident.  Here are a few examples,

Well done P5.  Next week we will move onto investigating dissolving and have our first attempt at writing a scientific report.
