P5

Welcome to P.5.  We have two P.5 classes and our teachers are Mrs Turley and Mr O'Neill. 

In P5 pupils are encouraged to be curious, take risks with their learning, to know that it is ok to make mistakes and learn from these.  Pupils continue to use concrete resources in many lessons and enjoy practical interactive lessons which help them  be creative and develop problem solving and thinking skills.  We love to watch pupils develop greater independent skills and feel proud of all of the small steps they take to make be the best they can be. Our classroom environments are bright, positive and organised.  We encourage all or pupils to simply try their best and are there to support and help them along the way.

Roots of Empathy 

P5T had their first Roots Of Empathy visit from Baby Thomas.

In P5 pupils are very excited to start learning from their tiny teachers. P5O had a great Roots of Empathy lesson with baby Zachary.

P5 enjoyed a taster sessions with VR with Andrew and Erin from Burns Skills School

Lots of excitement all round.

P5 love PE and this week some of our dancers from the Masked Singer groups got to showcase their dances to their friends.

                                      Writing Speeches and Using Technology to Present Them

P5 had great fun writing speeches on a selection of topics for the C2K News desk competition. They worked in pairs to write the speeches then used Animate your character on Adobe Express to record them. 

                                 P5O love spending time outdoors with their friends

Instructions

In term 1 P5 were learning about how instructions.  We wrote instructions to explain how to make  a healthy sandwich then had lots of fun making and eating our tasty sandwiches. Yummy!

Measuring Length

P5 have been measuring length in centimetres and metres.  We measured lots of smaller things inside the classroom like scissors, books and paper clips in centimetres. Next we had lots of fun taking our learning outdoors to measure larger length in metres.
