We have been learning how to book activities online for summer holiday days out. We looked at websites for Jumpstation, Clip and Climb at Ratho Climbing Arena and Aquadash at the Commonwealth Pool in Edinburgh.
We learned how to read calendars, convert 24 hour times to 12 hour times and work out payments too. As well as that we found lots of fun activities not far from us.
We have been using our skills to build 3d models from cocktail sticks and sweeties. Our Models sure were impressive.
 101 Dalmations   Harry Potter   Jurassic KingdomÂ
  Mr Stink   Sherlock Gnomes
We made movie trailers today using imovie. We analysed some film trailers and thought about the key features of a GREAT trailer. Then we created a storyboard. After this we decided on camera shots. Next we rehearsed our scenes and filmed our trailers. Finally the editing crew edited our work and added the all important credits. We are SOOOOOO PROUD of ourselves!!
We would all like to thank Olivia for leading this lesson.
Primary 2/1 enjoyed sneaking into the Nursery garden for some imaginative play this afternoon!
Today we decided to take our learning outdoors and enjoy some of the sun while we have it! We had great fun practicing drawing our coins and ordering their size using hop scotch. Mrs Robertson and Miss Butler also took us out in groups to test our money knowledge! They were well impressed.
As part of Digital Learning Week Primary 5 are:

Primary 5 trialling some of the books they have chosen for our new school library with primary 2/1.
For our writing next week please create a vegetable superhero to bring to school next Tuesday. Thank you for all those who have brought in hero’s so far. These will be kept in a fridge until next week to keep them fresh.
Well done to our Primary 5 movie makers!
They had a wonderful day working with a REAL movie maker, Jonathan Charles, and learned how to create and edit their own movies. They learned how to work in teams and take on a role: some were directors, others were actors and everyone was part of the editing or filming team. Their movies are fantastic and the children are so proud of themselves. WELL DONE EVERYONE!
