Welcome

World of Work Week

World of Work Week was a huge success and the children thoroughly enjoyed learning about the different types of jobs that people do for a living. The children have learned "what skills and qualities mean", "the importance of communication in every job", and "questions asked in an application form/interview".

The children were very respectful and showed good listening when our visitors were in. They demonstrated a keen interest in their job by asking very good questions and writing down the key information.

The children were very enthusiastic about the interview task, where they worked in pairs to identify the key questions people might get asked in an interview. They then role-played an interview scene.

Playmakers

The children have been working hard during their playmaker training and have enjoyed joining in with all the games.

Love for Reading

 

Primary 5 enjoyed visiting Waterstones and the local library in Renfrew.

 

 

 

Paired Reading!

Today P5 had lots of fun with our new Primary 2/3 Reading Buddies!  Each Friday the classes will be meeting to read and hear stories from each other.

The first meeting was a great success!

            

Term 1

Primary 5 have had a fantastic start to the new school session. Since returning in August, the class have been building their learning community by developing their own class charters and engaging in check-in and circle time activities. This has helped to create a supportive learning environment in which the children feel comfortable and valued by their peers and teachers. 

Last term the children were very busy working on our Science topic ‘The Water Cycle’, where we learned why water is important and the processes with which water recycles itself. We also planned and carried out an experiment on evaporation and the children predicted what might happen. The children were all very enthusiastic about it and we were very pleased at its success. During our topic on Britain, we developed our map skills by identifying countries and capital cities on a map. 

In Art, the children have created portraits inspired by the Spanish artist, Pablo Picasso, and have impressed many others in the school with these. As part of the Modern Languages week the class met up with some of our cluster schools on Wednesday 28^th of September in Newmains Primary for a modern languages games afternoon. The class showed enthusiasm and imagination when making their sock puppets for this event that helped facilitate language conversation.

I am looking forward to the term ahead and meeting everyone at the first parents' evening.
