Good afternoon Primary 5 Families!
I hope you all had a restful and enjoyable summer break. It has been good to get to speak to some of you at the end of the day and put faces to name. I am sure in the coming weeks I’ll be able meet and speak to more of you.
We had had a fantastic first week in Primary Five, taking time to re-connect after the break, completing our first piece of writing and discussing our rights and how we can make sure we are all working together to support and protect those rights. We have highlighted four of the United Nations Convention of the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) to focus this year in Primary Five, forming our class charter.
‘I have the right to an education.’ Right 28
‘I have the right to meet with friends and join with groups.’ Right 15
‘I have the right to be protected from being hurt or badly treated.’ Right 19
‘I have the right to relax and play.’ Right 31
Sharing Our Success
Our writing focus this week has been recipe poems. I challenged the learners to create a recipe poem for the ‘perfect teacher’. It was fantastic to see so many learners challenging themselves and having success. Below are just some examples of the learners’ amazing writing.
Take a spoonful of understanding,
Add a few drops of patience,
Mix in a gallon of coffee,
Stir with a sprinkle of happiness.
Fold in a chunk of laughter,
Sprinkle with a drop of kindness,
Finish with a dash of enthusiasm,
And there you have a perfect teacher.

Take a chunk of kindness,
Add a piece of humour,
Mix in a spoon of wonder,
Stir with a drop of courage.
Fold in a tonne of enthusiasm,
Add a sprinkle of love,
Finish with a touch of smiles
And there you have a perfect teacher.
