Last week we have been studying the Runaways and comic books as part of World Book Week! We’ve done loads of interesting activities about drawing superheroes, pejorative language, future stories and more!

We even did some superhero training! Look at our photos below!

Some of the books that we’re getting with our tokens are:

Star Wars
World of Norm
Animorphs
Clawed
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Diary of a Wimpy Kid

And that’s just for starters.

We’ve loved this week because we LOVE books!

This week, we have been looking at the problems that characters in some of our favourite books might have.

To link in with our Writing topic, of letter writing, we thought about writing letters to an advice column on their behalf.

Here are some of the problems, see if you can guess who they belong to:

“My parent’s won’t let me have any books! Help!” – No-Books-Allowed

“My body doesn’t feel like my own!” – Hawkboy

“My husband plays nasty tricks on me!” – Very-Annoyed-Wife

“My parents aren’t around anymore, and my Aunt and Uncle are horrible!” – Boy-With-Scar

“I really want to win this competition, but I’m scared I won’t!” – Stressed-Bucket

Once again, Primary 5 is adventuring out of class, but fear not(!) our spirits are still high.

We noticed that over the holiday weekend, the infamous Valentine’s Day occurred. However, we didn’t want it to go by unmarked, so we held our own “Random Act of Kindness” Day, where everyone was assigned a “Secret Cupid” and made something for them. We had poems, cards, compliments, cupcakes, real cakes, spreadsheets and more! A lot of work was put into these, and the day was a raging success.

We’re all now looking forward to Valentine’s Day next year!

No, despite what our last assembly might lead you to believe, we are not doing a Broadway production of Pippin. This week, the class were lucky enough, to work with a farmer and name his newest pedigree calf. We had lots of brilliant suggestions including; Plumbell, Princess, Petal, Poppy, Percephone, Pyper, Piper and Phelicity. However, Farmer Scott decided to go with Pippin. Here is a picture of Pippin so you know who we’re talking about.

At long last, after a brief holiday, we have returned to our normal room, and it’s a bit drier.

We have been learning A LOT about languages over the last two weeks. Not only, have we done loads of French, but this week, we even learned a bit of Spanish.

This is going to help up win in a competition with Primary 4/5.

Also, since our topic is World War 2, we’ve been researching the main countries, that fought in the war.

Here are some of our posters:

France

United Kingdom

Germany

Italy
