We have been working hard in P5D this week and would like to share some of the things we have been getting up to with you!
Most importantly, we celebrated Miss Diamond’s Birthday! She is not 30, she is 18 with 12 years experience :)!
With it being the week of Halloween, in writing, we described a spooky, haunted house setting and focussed on using our senses to help with the description.
In maths, we had to complete a Halloween Party challenge using lots of different maths concepts. We had to use multiplying, roman numerals, adding, subtracting, odd/even, rounding and read graphs to work out who the blindfold thief was! We had fun completing this task and developed our team work skills in the process. We had to be determined, focussed and display a growth mind-set to make this challenge a success. Well done to ‘The Mathematicals’ for working extremely well as a team and completing the challenge first!
In PE, we are developing our own personal fitness by joining in with various activities. We have been doing body weight exercises to strengthen different muscles and continued to work on our skipping skills. We also had a Halloween themed session with Mr McCurdy.
In art, we created optical illusions using line and colour. They were very effective and easy to recreate at home if you fancied giving it a go!
We had our class mass this week which we celebrated with Primary 5R, some of our families and other parishioners from our community. We also participated in a whole school celebration for All Saint’s Day.
Finally, congratulations to Robbie and Ethan for being rewarded our praise postcards this week. Both boys have been giving 100% in all areas of their learning and multiple members of staff commented on this throughout the week. Well done boys!
Have a great weekend, Miss Diamond and P5D!
Happy Birthday Miss Diamond, the children were very excited it was your Birthday and it sounded like a good day. All happening last week, the Halloween Party was great too, thank you to everyone for organizing it. Emily has enjoyed her learning recently and especially Maths. Apologies I couldn’t make the class Mass, I had work commitments.
Thank you :)!!!
Also, thank you for looking at our blog post and leaving us a little comment every week. We really appreciate it :)!
