Everyone in Primary 5 is very excited about Harvest time. We are working hard to get the Harvest assembly ready to present to our school and for the Cluster assembly. Primary 5 values, positive atmosphere and Health and well-being have been very important to us. We have been working hard on our school values and created a ‘Garden of Goodness’ , we have ‘Carlo, Patricia and Theo’ our pet plants, a Recognition Tree, a How Hero and Maestro di Gentilezza’, feelings Checkin (leaves) and more!
I wrote much more than I expected to, on my letter to India. Owen P5B
I enjoyed exploring pattern and colour in my Indian art and created an elephant design. Amber P5B
It was fun creating a bird full of colour and expressing who I am by adding on ‘all about me facts’. Reese P5B
I enjoyed learning about 3D shape and finding ways to describe them by feeling the shapes and using ‘faces, vertices and edges’words. Jamie P5B
I liked being responsible for helping my classroom community by making posters and signs. Carlie P5B
P7A’s weekly learning highlights- posted by Alderstone
Oliver, I liked it when we did P.E. and we went running on the field and we had the SSPCA come in and we did lots of fun activities like building robots and programming them, it was really fun!
Eoin, I really liked doing maths and learning new strategies for multiplication like 44×20 and we had a visit from the SSPCA and they taught us about animals and we did a fun activity about making robots. It was lots of fun.
Josh A: I really enjoyed learning about blood and making blood in class, like red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets and plasma. I also enjoyed playing the circulatory system game. Also this week the Scottish SPCA told us about everything they do, we also had some fun playing activities like making and playing with the robots.
Josh I: I really liked how we made a model of blood with red cheerios as red blood cells, water with yellow dye as plasma, lentils as platelets and mashmallows as white blood cells. Did you know that platelets actually stop you from bleeding so if you didn’t have them you would bleed forever. We also played a blood circulation game and thanks to Mrs Blair for letting us do it!
