On the European Day of Languages we all took part in a language carousel and played Bingo, Hangman, a European quiz and we also searched to find the word ‘friend’ in many different languages.

Matt: This week we started to make Power Points about Egyptian facts to show the rest of the class.

Bea: We started a new topic in maths about shape. We learnt about a cuboid, a prism, a square-based pyramid and a tetrahedron.

Beth: In our drama we had to pretend we were stuck in a pyramid and it was lots of fun.

Taylor: We learned all about mummification and we painted a mask that looked like a golden pharaoh.

Have a great weekend from Primary 5 and Mrs Reeves

Another busy week in primary 5! Here are some comments from the pupils:

 

Vanessa:  In PE we’ve been playing basketball and we’ve been learning some new rules like no contact, travelling and no double-dribbling. In maths we’ve completed our first Big Maths and some of us got very high scores and we like dancing to the music!

Beth: In maths we split into groups and we took part in some activities and games. I thought it was fun to do the active games.

Taylor and Lorena: In writing we’ve been looking at a letter with errors and we corrected it and extended it. We enjoyed the French afternoon, we made a café scene and we needed to speak in French the whole time!

Rachel W: I enjoyed the maths carousel.

Preston: When we did our French carousel, most of us chose to do a French role-play and spoke in French!

Lucas: I enjoyed making the Spanish passports.

Toni: I enjoyed taking part in the French role-play.

Thomas: In basketball we were learning to pivot.

Ninian’s Natter:

If you were unable to attend our Ninian’s Natter evening yesterday, your child will be bringing home their Profile Folder today. Please will you discuss their All About Me and Community Profile page and complete any personal achievements on the page in their profile. Could you also look at their learning goals and talk to them about how they can work towards achieving them. Lastly please write a comment on the Ninian’s Natter record sheet – thank you!

Have a great weekend!

Primary 5 have been talking about all the things they have been learning this week:

Paige: This week we learned about Mother Teresa with Mrs Purdie. We learned about what she did, how unselfish she was and how much she loved children.

What a busy week we have had! In maths we have continued to learn about place value and we have been rounding numbers to the nearest ten, hundred and thousand.

We have been learning about our rights such as our right to play and have fun, our right to go to school and have an education, and we have been talking about our school Rights Respecting award.

For our topic we have started designing book covers for our class novel, The Astounding Broccoli Boy.

We have been revising the Spanish and French we were learning last year, by looking at French numbers, days and months and we have started to make Spanish passports.

In P.E. we have really enjoyed starting to learn basketball.

Finally we have now completed all the Dojos for our Class Charter and we are very proud of it!

 

Have a great weekend!

Primary 5 and Mrs Reeves

Primary 5 have had an amazing first week and we have been thoroughly enjoying our new class topic based on the novel ‘The Astounding Broccoli Boy!’ by Frank Cottrell Boyce. The story is based around a boy called Rory Rooney, who is ‘Green by day, hero by night!’ We loved trying to guess what the story would be about from looking at the information on the front cover and then we have all written some fantastic stories about what it would be like if we suddenly turned green!

We have  been thinking about our strengths and all the areas we really want to focus on during Primary 5. We have put lots of thought into discussing our new class charter to ensure that we can all work to the very best of our ability and we have designed some fabulous Class Dojos to help us remember our decisions.

During Maths we have started by looking at Place Value, in particular we have been focusing on numbers up to 6 digits. We have enjoyed playing games where we each thought of a large number and then asked questions with only a yes or no answer to guess each other’s numbers.

Have a great weekend!
