Tag: Primary 5/6

This week in Primary 5/6 it has been a short week.We started our history topic, which is focused on ‘Mary Queen of Scots’. We have already learned that when Mary was 6 days old when her father died and she became queen. Miss Bell has been reading ‘Mary Queen of Scots and all that’ to us.

In math we have been learning about fractions, numerator and the denominator. We have been practicing our skills by playing a game called “Complete me”.

In P.E we are working on flight in gymnastic we had to plan and preform a show which had to have at least 3 flights in it.

It has been Vision and Values week in St Ninians. The value our class choose to focus on was ‘Being the Best We Can be”. We discussed that we all need to recognise our own achievements and be proud of ourselves. By reflecting on last year and thinking about how we can be the best we can be, our class wrote New Year’s resolutions.

This week in primary 5/6 we had our P1-7 achievements assembly, with Miss Smyth. Freya from our class won the award for going the extra mile in class. In maths we continued to learn how to calculate the perimeter and area of 2D shapes. In RE, this week we wrote a class Litany and designed boarders to display these around our classroom. Our science topic for this term, ‘The Solar System’, is coming to an end. This week we learned more information about Mercury and individually came up with rhymes to remember all of the eight planets.  Joshua from our class has been on a special trip to France this week and he brought holy water back for everyone in our class from his trip to Lourdes.

This week in P5/6, a Scottish story teller came and told us about the Loch Ness monster in Scotland by acting out a funny story. He also sang a song about the roman people battling and he told funny jokes. In French this week we received French post cards and letters from pupils at Pumpherston Primary School and  we wrote replies back to them. This week was our Scottish focus week, we learned lots of information about St Andrew, some new Scottish words and we designed and made Scottish place mats.

We have had another busy week in p5/6. We presented our learning on ‘who was St Andrew?’; at the St Andrews cluster assembly. Linked with our class Agar.io Goals, we have added a leader board to our display as so many children in our class have been achieving their goals! In maths this week we finished off our multiplication topic and started our topic on shape, we learned how to estimate the perimeter of a 2D shape. In Literacy we all wrote an imaginative story about a mission in Space, we worked with a partner to improve our adjectives in our writing. On Wednesday we had a visit from The Travelling Tuba, everyone really enjoyed this! We had the chance to play different instruments and learned how to play salsa music. At the end of the school day we presented our piece of music to the rest of the school.

In maths we learned another multiplication strategy, how to times by 10,100 and 1000. In Science, we worked in teams to make table signs by researching facts about our chosen planet, in the solar system. In literacy we learned how to recognise and use proper nouns and comparative adjectives. The boys from P5/6 are very pleased because they won the football game, 4-3 against Dedridge, on Tuesday. Yesterday we had a very busy day as our class went to our class mass in the Lanthorn Parish. Also the SSPCA came for a visit and we learned about pet patrol.

In P 5/6 this week, we all enjoyed dressing down to raise money for ‘Children in Need’ today. In maths we have all learned how to use rounding to multiply two digits by 1 digit numbers. Kaden taught the class how to round and multiply because he felt very confident. This helped some of us in the class as we watched the video of Kaden. In reading we learned about to, too and two through a rap and making up our own raps. In our Science topic, we have learned about the scale of the solar system and next week we are going to make our own solar system in the playground. Our table teams now have planet names and we are in the middle of designing posters for our tables.

Last week, in p5\6, we rehearsed for our assembly. We learned the historical meaning behind firework night. We shared our learning with p4-7, telling them the story about guy fox. We also learned the firework code and created posters to put up around the school. In art, last week, we made fireworks out of different types of pasta, we designed our firework and then added glitter to make our firework’s colourful. In music we started to learn how to play the Ukulele. As part of our science topic we investigated how the explosion in a firework happens. We made rockets out of plastic bottles and used bicarbonate soda and vinegar. Our experiment did not go to plan; we think this happened because all the air went out the bottle we needed to tighten them. We are going to try again next week.
