This week P5 had their first rugby session with Sam from Livingston Rugby Club. We had lots of fun learning new skills and got very competitive in some of the team challenges.

Stroop Test Challenge in P5
P5 have been preparing for their Joseph performance and have been linking this to other areas of our learning.
In the story Joseph is given a coat of many colours, so in Science we tested out an experiment with colours.
Did you know, in 1935 John Ridly Stroop invented the ‘Stroop task’? This was all about naming colours. First a number of colours were projected onto a screen in their own colour, and then in a different colour. People were asked to name the colours the words were printed in.
We timed each other reading both sets of words and found that our brains work slower when the colour you have to name has been used to print the name of a different colour!
How quickly can you read them?
Gardening in the sun
P5 have enjoyed working on our class allotment in the sun. We prepped the soil and planted some onions and spring onions. We can’t wait to see them start to sprout! Many of us are very excited for the Gardening Club to start up.
Competitive Celebrations
Some of our Primary 5 pupils took part in a Multisport Festival at Craigswood Sports Centre, as part of Livingston’s 60th Birthday Celebrations.
We tried out some new sports and some that we already love – Football, Badminton and Judo. Our competitive side came out during badminton and we had lots of fun with the Judo and Football coaches. We can’t wait to try out some of these clubs in the community.
P5 Visit Sky Academy
Primary 5 took an exciting trip to The Sky Academy Studios.
Each of us were given an important role (Director, Producer, Scriptwriter, Reporter, Eyewitness, Camera Operator, Editor) within our studio groups. We all worked very hard as a team, to create a fantastic news report about Fake News and how to prevent it.
It was a great opportunity to work with experts and high-tech equipment. What great fun we had!
P5 Continuing to Develop Their Reading Culture
Primary 5’s celebrated World Book Day and then continued to develop their reading culture in class by creating their very own ‘Starbooks’ café.
Most of us brought our favourite books in from home to read and some of us borrowed a book from the Starbook’s menu. We enjoyed a sweet treat and a nice drink as we read our books. Miss Roscilli put on café background noises, which made us feel like we were in a real reading café.
P5’s Internet Safety – Social Media
For Internet Safety day, Primary 5 learned the age restrictions for different social media platforms. Firstly, we named different social media platforms and guessed the age restrictions for each. Then, we revealed the true age restrictions. A lot of us were surprised by these age limits. We discussed why we think social media companies set age restrictions and came up with a lot of good reasons and thoughts.
