In maths we have been looking at weighing – we have been looking at grams and kilograms and looking at the relationship between the two. Moreover, we have also been exploring volume and looking at how to make comparrsions between millilitres and litres.

In topic, we have been looking at art – in particular we have created dot art pieces which looks at Aboriginal-inspired art forms. We created our own lizards which we are all really proud of. We will spend the rest of term looking at comparrisons between Scotland and Australia and we will compare lifestyles, weather, geography and culture.

We have our parade walk outside on Friday 3rd December so please come with appropriate clothing.

We also have our P5 party on Wednesday 15th December so if there are any food allergies teachers should know about, please let them know.

Well done to P5M who WON the St Andrews Day kahoot quiz – we managed to come 1st place our of more than 80 teams! We will enjoy our extra 15 minutes reward time on Friday!

We have been learning about COP 26 and why it’s important – we have also been looking at global warming and we can confidently say what the greenhouse effect is. We will also be excited to learn about climate change in Australia and how the landscape and environment are changing. We have been really excited about completing experiments – we competed an experiment whereby we used baking soda, food colouring, a lamp to represent the sun as well as vingar to create a small amount of co2. We could see how global warming is created.

In maths we have been continuing to explore different ways of measuring – in particular we have been focussing on estimating lenghts and then taking their actual measurements and comparing the two. We have also been looking at mm, cm, meters and kilometers.

In health, we will be looking at ‘Celebrating Difference’ and looking at what makes us all unique individuals and recognising how best to celebrate our differences and embracing different personal characteristics.
