What a Busy Month We’ve Had!

This month has been full of exciting learning, creativity and discovery in our classroom!

In Literacy, we have been working hard to improve our punctuation skills. We have practised using capital letters, full stops, question marks, exclamation marks, commas and speech marks to make our writing clear and exciting. We have become punctuation detectives, spotting mistakes and improving our own work. It has been fantastic to see our confidence growing as writers!

In Numeracy, we have been learning all about time. We can now read both analogue and digital clocks, tell the time using 12-hour and 24-hour formats, and solve problems involving durations of time. We have also explored how different units of time are connected by converting between seconds, minutes, hours and days. Some of our time challenges really made us think!

Our Science topic has focused on the Water Cycle. We learned how water travels around our planet through evaporation, condensation, precipitation and collection. Through experiments, discussions and diagrams, we discovered how this amazing cycle helps provide water for living things all around the world.

One of the highlights of the month has been our learning about the Titanic. We explored the story of the famous ship, learned about life on board, and used our imaginations to write exciting Titanic-themed stories. We especially enjoyed building our own Titanic models and investigating buoyancy. Through testing different materials and designs, we learned why some objects float while others sink. It was great fun to make predictions and see our ideas come to life!

We are very proud of all the effort, enthusiasm and determination shown by everyone this month. We have learned new skills, asked thoughtful questions and supported one another throughout our learning journey.

We can’t wait to see what exciting adventures next month will bring!

Well done, everyone! ⭐

Welcome back Primary 4/5

Just a quick post to wish everyone a happy return to school, hoping everyone is settled and ready to learn!
It has already been a whole month back! Where has time gone??!!

I also wanted to share with families the home learning for the week. Please, note that the Spelling grid has suggestions for every spelling pattern, I will update the spelling pattern every week but the spelling tasks will remain the same or similar for the term.
There are also suggestions for Mental Agility (Maths and Numeracy) with links to online games and suggestions for activities at home.

Please, remember that Home Learning can be flexible and you can adapt it to your timings and routines and there should be no pressure to complete it all in one week. Do as you can, and it will be enough.
Learners are also taking a reading book from the Library to promote reading for pleasure, which will have a weekly task with it.

I hope it all makes sense, any doubts, please catch me at the end of the day for a quick chat, or email to school if your enquiry requires a longer answer.

Best wishes.

Mr Dominguez

Playground Leaders

Hi and thank you for checking in on us! 🙂

Take a look at Holyrood House’s initiative to make our play and lunch times more exciting!

Pupils part of this team worked hard to come up with fun games. We then practised explaining and playing these in the hall and on the playground!

We hope that you will enjoy our suggested activities!
