Primary Five Learning so far…

We have now been back to school for just over a month and the time has flown by! Below are some images of just some of the things Primary Five have been getting up to since coming back to school.

From visits to the National Museum of Scotland to see some ceramics from the Ancient Greek times, to our trip to the Edinburgh Book Festival and learning how to be ‘Tiger Warriors’ with Maisie Chan, we’ve certainly been busy!

Primary Five’s Class Charter

At the start of term Primary Five discussed the universal rights of all children by researching the UNCRC (United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child). We discussed what that looks like in our lives and in particular at school.

We were able to come up with our own Class Charter based on the UNCRC. We have all agreed that we will stick to it and respect each other’s rights; adults and children.

Primary 3, 4, 6 and 7 will visit the Museum on the Mound

Located in the historic Bank of Scotland Head Office, this fascinating museum takes a fresh look at money – and much, much more. Art & design, technology, crime, trade and security – all feature in the story of money.

and focus on amazing workshops such as:

  • What is Money?Investigate a range of extraordinary artefacts once used as money in other cultures. 
  • Heads and TailsExplore the design and security features of coins. Discover how they were made in medieval Scotland and strike your own.
  • Design Your Own BanknoteCompare and contrast banknotes past and present. Add security features to your own note using stamps and invisible ink.
  • Kists & KeysSpark conversations about value, some of the benefits and risks of using cards and how to keep money safe using the Museum’s collections, including £1,000,000.

We are hoping to experiment with BBC coding challenges and

Lots of opportunities to play motivating maths games by just scanning QR codes dotted around the school and spend lots of time focusing on

such as maths walks.

We already look forward to a

competition!
