We have had a really busy couple of weeks. Here are our highlights:

 

Last week:

On Wednesday morning we made pizzas.

On Thursday it was our election day and all the different houses voted for the new House Captains and Vice Captains for next year.

Orla, Brooke and Jack went to Deans High School to take part in the Triathlon races. They did really well and they all came back with a medal!

We all went to the library and then we went to the park.

We all went to the Bowling Club in Murieston and took part in some games – it was really good fun!

We were learning how to calculate area of a rectangle using a formula: A=BXL.

In P.E. we played Extreme Dodgeball with new rules. We had a ‘Joker’, a ‘Queen’ or a ‘King’ in each team. If the King or Queen was hit then the whole team was out, so we had to protect the King and Queen.

This week was health week.

Rachel: We learnt some different football skills which was good fun.

Sophie: We all worked in groups to research different body systems and we prepared and presented our findings to the class.

Kate: Then we went to Relax Kids where we learnt different calming strategies.

Niamh: We went to Dynamic Earth for the day. We learnt about the rain forest, icebergs, time travelling, the animals that used to live thousands of years ago, volcanoes and how astronauts made their first trip to walk on the moon.

Richard: We also had a workshop where we learnt about the effect plastic has on the environment.

Michael: We learnt about negative and positive peer pressure and how to deal with difficult situations.

Cameron: Mr McCurdy set up a Kahoot Question of Sport quiz which we all took part in.

Kate: We all took place in an obstacle course and it was really rainy, slippy and muddy! It was really fun and Jack came first and Kate was the first girl!

Niamh:We then took part in a golf lesson where we learnt the difference between a putter and a driver.

Rachel: Some people from St. Margaret’s came to take us for a dance lesson. At the end we all performed a dance for Mrs Reeves to see.

Richard: We all loved the Parkour where we were practising swinging backwards and forwards.

We finished off the day with hand massages with Primary 6.

The Glee girls went to the Centre and we performed all our songs twice and raised a lot of money.

Have a great weekend!

Here are our Class blogs for the last two weeks!

Last week:

 

PE- we learned how to perform relay races. In sprinting you had to learn how to move really quickly. We had to learn the best way to hold the baton so it could be passed on safely and quickly. Also about developing a quick reaction.

Writing- In writing we were writing a description about something of our choice for example a pet, house or place. We used our knowledge of  structure having to have an introduction, characteristics and an evaluation. We liked being able to choose what we wanted to describe.

Outdoor learning day-on Thursday we went to four different activities. We used the outdoor environment to build a cat bed for a regular visitor to our nursery! We had to look around for letters in our environment and solve a puzzle. We also had outdoor PE with fitness stations and it was fun getting to do PE in the fresh air. We had to find different natural objects such as a leaf, a stone, a stick, a piece of grass and a daisy. Each object linked to a number puzzle which we had to solve.

This week:

Another amazing week in primary 5R. Here is what we have been doing …

 

Mass – The whole school walked down to the Lanthorn on Thursday. We went because it was Ascension day.

 

French – In French we learnt the French words for feelings and we read a French book called ‘The small caterpillar who was always hungry’. We also learnt the days of the week.

 

Maths- In maths we did some division because we thought we needed some practise to get better.

 

R.E- In R.E. we were learning about Ascension day with Mrs Howley.

 

PE- With Mr McCurdy we made our own games in groups with different objects like tyres, balls, Frisbees, hurdles, cones and many more.

 

We had a Judo taster lesson and then they gave us leaflets to see if we wanted to join their club.

 

Bowls- Special people came in and they taught us how to play bowling. Then they gave us fliers to see if we wanted to go to their bowling club.

 

Art- In art Mrs Young was helping us make flip flops with unique patterns on them. Then we cut them out and put paper straps on them.

 

Assembly- In assembly, a man came in and taught us dances and phrases like “July” and they are meant to help you relax.

Welcome back to another fantastic P5R blog!!!!

Maths – For maths we went outside in the snow and used our devices as compasses. We all had to face different directions such as: north, south, west, east, south west, south east, north west and north east.

Topic – For our topic France we watched a tutorial on YouTube of how to draw an Eiffel Tower. We all really enjoyed drawing them and they all turned out amazing. We also used French dictionaries to locate different French words and we made a poster and shared them with the rest of the class.

P.E – For P.E we were inside our classroom doing 5 rounds of workout with Miss Ford.

Mindfulness – For mindfulness we drew posters about how much we liked/did not like mindfulness.

On Tuesday we watched the P6 – P7 dress rehearsal for their show called The Gospel Show. We loved it!

Today we linked up with P2/3 as a team link. We watched them read their stories to us on the Smartboard and then we were able to give them feedback. It was good fun!

Well done to Cameron F for being nominated for the Praise postcard this week.

We have all worked hard this week. Here are some of our highlights:

 

Topic: P5R were learning to  play French games outside . We learnt how to play ‘What’s the time Mr Wolf?’ using French numbers . We learnt it because our topic is France.

Writing: In writing we have been looking at a story called ‘The Apple Orchard’. It  is a recount so we used all the information we have learnt about writing a recount. We got to write about whatever we wanted, for example – our holidays, our weekend or anything else.

P.E.: In P.E. we played Football and we had a tournament to see who the champions were.  Fourth: dark blues,  third: yellows, second: greens and first: :light blues. We also played mini  basketball with Mrs Reeves.

R.E : In R.E. we were learning about St. Joseph. He was a carpenter and we did a crossword about him.

PM Writing : We did a video about recounts for Mrs Purdie including everything we needed to remember.

Maths: We were learning about hundredths and looking at the labels on bottles and packets to see if we could find any examples of hundredths on the labels.

We all took part to complete some scientific research about an explorer of our choice. We used the internet and made notes and then we presented our notes.  Some people chose to do a Power Point but most people chose to do a SWAY.

We continued to learn about  PM Writing, looking at past tense verbs, nouns and time and sequence words.

We also went to the library and chose some new books.

In reading we learned about an apple orchard.
