For basketball was... Brazil! 

Jazzing up a sentence.

Today we were looking at commas in clauses. We decided to use whiteboards to help us stretch out our sentence by adding in extra information. We used commas to help us identify the extra information.  We decided to use more of our VCOP knowledge to jazz our sentence up even make and this is what we ended up with. 

The boy was late. 

The mean boy, who was called George, got the Stagecoach bus to school but it was late so he had to walk. 

Mini Olympics

During our class PE sessions we are organising our very own mini Olympics. We have our ourselves into teams of 5 and will compete against each other in a number of different sporting events. 

First up was hockey. 

In 4th place was Team Spain. 

In 3rd place, getting a bronze medal, was Team Brazil. 

In 2nd place, getting a silver medal, was Team Australia. 

And in 1st place, winning the gold medal, was Team GB!! 

Well done to all competitors on their excellent team spirit during the hockey events. Keep it up! 

Teamwork

Mr McIntosh held a super 'teamwork' related assembly as a welcome back to school. We had to think about all the good things we could do to work together as a team in and around the school. We came up with a list of things which will be displayed in every classroom. 

We watched a great clip celebrating the success of Team GB during the 2016 Rio Olympics.  We spoke about how teamwork was vital to each event and how the sport men and women supported each other through the games.  This is what we are looking to achieve in our school. 

Bench Buddies

Primary 5 are carrying on the work we started on conflict resolution last year. 

We finished the buddy benches and decided on a system for how we wanted them to work. 

We thought about where the benches would go, what our jobs would be and how we would be identified as helpers. 

We shared this information with the playground supervisors by organising a meeting and then shared the same information with the rest of the school during Mondays assembly. 

Welcome back!

Welcome back to Primary 5!

After a very long summer holiday we are all settled back in to school life.  We are getting used to our new timetable and routines and are working hard on being bigger and more responsible primary 5's! 

Keep popping back for updates and to find out what is happening in our class and round about the school.
