P5D weekly update!

Welcome to P5D’s weekly news! We have had a busy week learning new things and celebrating with our St.Ninian’s family.

We learned about rounding numbers to give estimated answers to calculations in maths and have been working out how to read different scales.

‘It was hard to read different scales in the beginning but I still enjoyed it.’ – Aaron

In art this week, we used line to create landscapes of a setting in our novel, Mudge Park.

‘I liked using line to add colour to my landscape.’ – Kasia

We have started our science topic about materials and have been focussing on separating materials. We received a message from a local supermarket to tell us that their products had spilled in the back of the delivery truck and were all mixed up! We had to work out the best methods to use to separate flour from raisins, salt from water, paperclips from rice and sand from water! We learned about filtration, sieving, evaporation and magnetic attraction.

‘It was really fun!’ – Emily

‘It was interesting.’ – Kasia

‘I liked the using the magnets.’ – Rhia

Now that we have completed our class novel, we wrote letters to Mr Mudge telling him all about or adventures and to thank him for his help. We used informal language and focussed on using paragraphs.

‘It was very interesting because we wrote our own letter.’ – Michelle

‘It was fun writing the letter because I like writing!’ – Morgan

Finally we had an assembly to celebrate Wee John the Janny’s retirement.

‘It was sad but it was fun as well!’ – Levente

‘It was emotional but we will still remember him!’ – Emily

‘He was always really nice to us.’ – Michelle

‘He is very funny and makes me laugh when he dresses up!’ – Sophie R

Congratulations to Sophie D on being awarded our praise postcard this week.

Have a great weekend, Miss Diamond and P5D!
