Primary 5 Outdoor Learning
Primary 5 have had lots of fun taking their learning outdoors.
Last Monday the children had the exciting opportunity to see what life was like thousands of years ago in Holyrood Park. They all bacame trainee druids and learnt how to live off the land.

Reading
Children should continue reading a book of their choice at home. They should ensure that they are recording the book that they are reading at the front of the reading journal. Children should also comeplete the character activity; drawing a picture of the character and then describing them in the thought bubbles. If the children are reading non-fiction then they can use facts in the bubbles instead.
Maths
Children have been asigned activities on Education City. They should be familair with their logins. If internet is not availible at home then children will be able to complete these activities during silent reading time throughout the week.
So far I have been very impressed with the standard and quality of the homework in Primary 5 and a massive thank you to those at home who help and support the children in their learning.
