We have had great fun in PE this week! We have been learning about our heart and about exercises which can strengthen our muscles!
We have been learning that our spelling words are all adjectives and we have been creating fun sentences with our spelling words to help us remember what they all mean, and what they might be describing!

Children in Need 2020!
This Friday is the big fundraising show for Children in Need and Primary 5 have been working hard to help everyone take part safely and have lots of fun while raising money for this great cause!
This Friday will be a Dress Down Day. This year’s CiN theme is ‘Wear Yellow’ but any dress down clothing is fine!
The activities, which have been organised by Primary 5, will take place virtually within your child’s classsroom.
We are not charging specified amounts for taking part in either the Dress Down Day, or the activities. Any donations would be greatly appreciated though! Please hand in all donations to school on, or before, Friday the 13th of November. Thank you very much!

We have been learning all about the work of Poppy Scotland this week. We had fun learning about the effect of light and colour while creating poppy artwork too!
Congratulations to Rebecca! She is our Star of the Week for her fabulous maths work! She is incredibly motivated and always challenges herself! Well done Rebecca!
We made Blythswood boxes in school for the Blythswood Appeal! We have learned that there are children (and adults too!) in Eastern Europe who do not have things that we would call necessary, so we wanted to help make Christmas special for them this year. We also made cards for the boys and girls who would be receiving our presents too.
Thank you to all of you who donated a shoebox for the appeal, and to all of you who donated gifts for the appeal too. It is much appreciated! Blythswood are coming to collect them all on Monday.

Thank you!

Happy Halloween everyone!
We had a fabulous dress down/dress up day today. Thank you so much to everyone who kindly donated to the foodbank. Your kind donations will be used to help and support families in our local community. We had a great time completing Halloween problem solving activities, multiplication problems, writing spooky Halloween poems (with impressive use of adjectives) and creating our own Halloween dances today! It was great fun!
Congratulations to Caitlin! She is our Star of the Week for her fabulous and speedy times tables work! Well done Caitlin! You always work so hard and we are very proud of you!
This week, we had a video phone call from Elma Mackay from Blythswood! We learned all about the work of the Blythswood shoebox appeal, the Foodbank and the Daniel Centre. We learned that Elma loves tennis, macaroni and Indian food too!

We have been learning ways in which to manage our emotions and choosing ones which suit us!
We have been learning that CS Lewis was a Christian and many of his books were inspired by stories from the bible! Here are the characters from the bible who are represented in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe!
We have finished our posters about our beliefs and we are very proud of them! We have been exploring our own beliefs and learning to respect the beliefs of others.
We are very proud of our ‘the Lion, the Witch and the wardrobe!’ display!
Congratulations to Sarah and Lily! They are our Star Writers for their fabulous biographies about CS Lewis!
Their biographies contained brilliant facts, written in their own words! They were also written in chronological order and in formal language! Well done girls!
Congratulations to Sarah and Ava! They are our Stars of the Weeks for their fabulous detailed artwork! Because it was so detailed, it look them a long time and it was hard work, but they stuck at it and the results were fabulous! Well done girls!

P5 – Our fabulous week
It has been brilliant being back! We have had such a lovely week. This week we have been writing poems, practising place value, reading and getting creative with emotions artwork. We discussed how colours are linked to our emotions and chose the colours in our artwork as a result. They look great! We also created our Classroom Charter to make our classroom a fabulous place to learn in!
Congratulations to Emilia! She is our Star of the Week for being so kind, caring and such a great friend! We will miss you very much, but we know your new school will be great too! Good luck!
