Welcome to our P4/P5 Class Page!

We are so looking forward to making new friends, playing and learning together this year. Keep an eye on our page to see all the fun things we are getting up to!

Our lovely 2025/2026 class of Primary 5. 

We are loving getting together every afternoon and for PE with Mr Hardy!

A fantastic day on our Sponsored walk... we definitely had tired legs afterwards!

Fact or Opinion?

Tessellation 

Today we had great fun in our active numeracy lesson. We learned that tessellation is a pattern made of shapes that fit together perfectly without any gaps or overlaps, covering a surface completely. We used our TSPC skills and decision making when completing this numeracy task to make sure our patterns had no gaps and didn't overlap. Take a look at us below! 

Place Value... What value is the digit? 

We were learning about how our number system works and have discovered all the ways we can represent numbers. We can write in words, in digits, on a spike abacus and as expanded notation using partitioning!! This week we looked at larger numbers and developed our understanding of the value of the digit in a given place. We had great fun using a spike abacus to represent the value and playing 'Wipe out' for numbers up to 4 digits long!!

Tangrams 

This week in our numeracy we were looking at Tangrams. Tangrams are an ancient Chinese puzzle which consist of 7 shapes. With these shapes you can create different pictures. Today we had a go at solving some Tangrams .. it was harder than it looked!! Even Miss Rooney was getting confused! After lots of determination we managed to solve a few. We even had a go at creating our own. 

Dinosaur Challenge

P5 had a self-management challenge for our TSPC focus this week... they had to make the tallest brachiosuarus possible out of only paper and tape... AND it had to stand! It was great fun, but really tested their time-management skills and problem solving!

Using Adobe Express!

In World around us we were introduced to our new topic ‘Prehistoric world’. We did our topic planning noting what we know and what we want to find out. We then explored what exactly was meant by the term ‘Prehistoric’, which really defines a huge chunk of history which occurred before written records. We looked at the methods archaeologists and historians used to discover facts about the prehistoric world. In our ICT time, we explored ADOBE Express to create our own Topic cover page for our books. We learned how to create backgrounds using media, add text and elements. I think you will agree they are amazing!

Summer Scavenger Hunt

We had lots of fun finding out about what everyone got up to this summer... it was a great way to get to know some of our new classmates too!

Sharing our favourite summer memories, through our eyes!

We had great fun creating our first class display of the year! We thought about our favourite memory of the summer and shared this with our class mates. We then drew it in the reflection of our sun glasses to make our funky display.... looking cool!!
