It’s been a short week but a busy week in Primary 5!

Here are some of our comments:

Beth: In Drama we had fun miming little scenes. We focused on facing our audience and we used facial expressions and actions to allow our audience to guess what we were doing.

Bea: We wrote a letter from the viewpoint of Rory in our class novel.

Joseph: I made a helmet during construction today.

Rachel W: We really enjoyed going to our new committees today!

Taylor: We all went to our Achievements Assembly and we found out about our new house mascots.

Chi Chi: In Art we all started to make Egyptian masks.

Have a great weekend!

It has been a very short week this week but we have managed to fit in lots of learning.

Abi – We went to our new committees and we had so much fun. I am in the pupil leadership committee with Miss Smyth.

Louise – We got another letter from anonymous asking us to complete a mission. The mission is to rebuild the Titanic in our classroom. We have to bring in lots of junk materials and boxes to be able to do this. We will need painting shirts to protect our clothes.

Finlay – We went to Nycos and learned lots of new rhymes. We played some fun games.

Charlie – We wrote a news report about the Titanic. We had to make sure we were using the correct layout for a news report. We had to write in columns and include a picture and a catchy title for our story.

Aria – We created a piece of artwork to represent peace. We did pointillism paintings of a dove. These were laid out in a path from our school to Dedridge for National day of peace (21st September)

Lukasz – We have been working hard on our daily mile focusing pace and stamina.

Have a great Weekend

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

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.

From Primary 5 and Mrs Reeves

This week have been learning lots of new things. Here is what the children have to say about their learning this week;

Aria – “This week we have been making dream jars. We used glass jars, glitter, food colouring and twinkly stars. We designed our own labels. It was really fun and I made a rainbow label.”

Finlay – “This week we were making birthday cards for Our Lady. It was her birthday yesterday (8th of Sept). I put flowers and a cross on mine. We also said the Rosary for Mary.”

Oliwier – ” This week we were making proper sentences. We had lots of mixed up words and had to make them into sentences with a capital letter and full stop.”

Lewis – “This week we had a great assembly all about St Ninian because it is his feast day next week.”

Abi- “On Wednesday Mrs Purdie came into our class and told us some sad news. She said she was changing break time from 15mins to 5mins. I felt shocked. Mrs Wassell then got us to write a letter to Mrs Purdie to share our views about the change.”

Charlie- “We learned how to multiply by 10 and 100. I know that when we multiply by ten we add 1 zero to the end and we multiply by 100 we add 2 zeros to the end.”

Lukasz- “This week in PE we had a game of basketball. We have been learning how to control the ball and pass to other people.”

We hope you all have a super weekend and look forward to telling all about our learning next week.
