P5hp Blog – 23.2.23

We have been very busy practising our songs and lines for our show with the primary 6 and 7 classes! We are also learning stage direction and dance routines to make our part in the show even better J

Some of the children wanted to share what they have enjoyed so far in their learning:

I really enjoyed playing handball in PE – AG

I really liked learning more about fractions in our numeracy lessons – RH

I have enjoyed watching the show practices with all the classes – LG

I am excited for my part in the show even though I wasn’t sure at first – CD

I am excited to be one of the Beetles in our big show – MK

I am looking forward to the show because I am a big fan of the Beetles already – LT

As you can tell we are all super excited for our show in the next few weeks! It will be a fantastic day/night!

So far this term we have been learning about loads of different things! Here are some quotes from the class.

  • We have been learning Scottish words and how to sound them out – EG
  • I enjoyed learning about Chinese New Year in literacy this week – AG
  • I was glad we practised sit ups and push ups in PE when we were learning about fitness – LG

We are also looking forward to some things that are still yet to happen!

  • We are looking forward to the show we are going to put on for the adults – LK
  • I cannot wait until our P5 camp – EM

P5hp November 2022

P5hp children have been learning lots in the different lessons and we have been practicing for our Children In Need Assembly (Friday 18th November 2022)

We have been baking and learning financial education skills as part of our financial education focus. We have been deciding how much ingredients cost for our Pudsey Cakes as well as deciding how much to charge. Additionally, we have been discussing as a class how much each guess for Guess the Sweets in the Jar should be. We have been working very well with p5mw to go round the different classes and advertise our Children in Need activities.

In numeracy, we have been exploring the x5,x6 and x7 tables. By the end of our term, we hope to recall most, or all, of our times tables instantly when asked. We will be practicing this regularly and it would be great if this was repeated at home. We have taken part in station-based activities to achieve the most from our learning.

We were lucky enough to create hanging ghost decorations for the school disco on Halloween, they looked very spooky!

Note for Friday: please practice your lines if you have a speaking part as well as practice any songs. Not long now!!
